Kolby Nissondorf Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 If someone were to post, "Ohz, im alwayz having problemz" then a troll would be like "Its spelled Oh..and always..and problems. Learn how to spell" etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janelle Darkstone Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Or say someone comes in and posts "What's up with child avatars?! They don't belong here!" with no real interest in the topic, making said post just to stir up arguments and flame wars among the regulars. It works really well. :smileysad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charolotte Caxton Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_(Internet) In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.

Cinnamon Mistwood Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 From what I understand a forum troll is a person who posts any inflammatory content they can to try to get a rise out of other people. The posts usually serve no purpose other than to bring out the worst in others or make them feel badly/stupid/unintelligent/defensive.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As my signature says "never take anything I say too seriously!" :smileytongue: 'Spelt' is the traditional English, "spelled" is common parlance in the U.S. There's no real right or wrong and arguments over the use of language usually serve little purpose ... except when it makes absolutely no sense ... "i could care less!" ... mutter, mutter *shakes head* :smileymad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
