EVE is about balls, brains, and paranoia. SP comes in a distant fourth place. |

As per forum rules:
Quote: Trolling is prohibited. Trolling is the word used to describe a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting the players. Posts of this nature are disruptive and do not contribute to the sense of community we want for our forums.
Just hang around on the forum (or any forum except 4/chan, since it's made of trolls) and you will rather fast get an idea of what trolling is.

If you think someone is posting **** on the forum, he's either a troll or does not share your opinion. It's hard to tell sometimes, actually .

Posting without some controversy is a waste of time is it not?

Trolling would be if I were to post "What kind of [insult] doesn't know what trolling is?" instead of trying to explain it like people have done above.
It can also be a post directed at CCP, along the lines of "CCP always does [something] wrong, it's been 9 years and they haven't fixed [something], fix your game CCP!" and so on.
Or it can be a post designed to draw a reaction, such as "Hulks should be nerfed!".

It's one of those irregular verbs: I encourage debate, you troll, he acts like an ass, they are goons.

Trolling in RL is a form of fishing where a line is dragged behind a moving vessel (yes it's different to trawling, which uses nets - I'm not confused).
Trolling in the forums is a form of fishing for a reaction. You put your line out and wait for bites. ______________________ Isn't it time you learned to fight back? Agony Unleashed Home of the PvP University.

Really? I always just assumed that the word "trolling" was invented by forum users who didn't know how to spell "trawling".

It's the same derivation but no, it's not a misspelling:

ItÆs is so widsespread itÆs not uncommon for someone who posts something they perhaps donÆt fully understand to be accused of trolling.
IÆm not sure what the most common troll is these days but IÆd guess ôAll Caldari ships are broke for PVPö ranks somewhere near the top. Bene Gesserit is recruiting. |

Thanks guys, I kind of thought it implied that the person posting the thread was a 'troll' as in a large humanoid monster found in fantasy stories. Now I know.

Some people think of those who engage in the practice of "trolling" in exactly the terms you describe.

Visit the CAOD forums here and you'll see prime examples of trolling. ______________ Stupid people are amazingly clever at being stupid. They excel at slipping through idiot proof measures. |

Obvious troll is obvious???
---- a reply which adds nothing to a thread or results in a thread being bumped with no new discussion worthy content is considered spam and as such warrants a forum ban |
