Hello fellow pod goers.
I usually browse the forums from time to time, and see quite alot of slang used only here for these forums.
Now, as there are some I do not understand, I thought it would be nice for people to elaborate what they meant not only for me, but for others who may check out these forums.
Ones I know:
IBTL: In Before The Lock.
WTB: Want to Buy.
WTS: Want to sell.
Not sure what WTA is.
Thanks ahead for all your help!

Noob question but whats trolling?
As quoted from Wiki
An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who intentionally posts controversial messages in an on-line community such as an on-line discussion forum with the intention of baiting other users into an argumentative response. "Troll" is also used in a broader pejorative sense to question the good faith of any Internet user who has annoyed the person using the term.
Usage
The term troll is highly subjective. Some readers may characterize a post as trolling, while others may regard the same post as a legitimate contribution to the discussion, even if controversial. The term is often erroneously used to discredit an opposing position, or its proponent, by argument fallacy ad hominem.
Often, calling someone a troll makes assumptions about a writer's motives. Regardless of the circumstances, controversial posts may attract a particularly strong response from those unfamiliar with the robust dialogue found in some online, rather than physical, communities.
Experienced participants in online forums know that the most effective way to discourage a troll is usually to ignore him or her, because responding encourages a true troll to continue disruptive posts ù hence the often-seen warning "Please do not feed the troll".
Frequently, someone who has been labelled a troll by a group may seek to redeem their reputation by discrediting their opponents, for example by claiming that other members of the group are closed-minded, conspirators, or trolls themselves.

C'mon, Jenny Spitfire's not an e-bayed character. She's a returning player (comes back along with the graphics update) who wants to ditch a previous reputation. How many people actually post on the forums? What are the odds that both the original player and the purchaser post on the official forums?

Hmm it's a youtube link, so unlikely to be any sort of dictionary. Very likely to be a rickroll.
