Trolling

[Tank]

I know many members here visit other boards so ask.

Have you noticed the Troll counts rising or have you yourself been acused of trolling?
I ask because on another board I post I merely posted my personal opinion and got shot down by a few members as trolling! Wtf??

Since when did the internet become a place you couldn’t honestly voice your opinion!?

Pisses me off, and seems to have got worse since the whole publicity things over Trolls on web forums.
Keyboard warriors get on my tits too, but if you highlight the fact they are doing it then go nuts at the fact they have been acused!?

Just wondering if its just the board im on over acusing and bullying the members or if you guys noticed it too. its kinda putting me off posting there anymore and you can tell others are feeling the same

Back at AS, I made a list of my trolls because I thought they were funny and obvious.

I don't care for someone making up a 'normal' fictitious name and using it to say and do things outside of their regular username.That's cowardly IMO.

boards are only as good as the people that post - that's why I like it here

If people don't like your posts - go elsewhere

Troll used to mean a user created to say inflamatory stuff or trolling with an unknown loggin to cause trouble of some sort... I first heard it on AS years and years ago

Now I see the word everywhere. Even on Facebook which to me makes no sense as it's actually you. A person with their profile will go out and make a comment that is their own opinion and get called a Troll! That makes no sense, it's an opinion.

If you knew who hal-9000 really was, you'd shit a brick

Yeah the definition is getting clouded, I've seen similar

Yea, I think now it's more just posting to purposely get a negative reaction.

[Hal-9000]

I call it muscular posting....you read something you don't agree with or don't know anything about and then make some sort of arrogant, shitty post

[Hal-9000]

I like reading the Youtube forum parts and used to read comments under torrents...there were some classic arguments going on there

a guy mentions that he turned 360 degrees and looked behind him...the other guy comes in says - no, you would turn 180 degrees to look behind yourself.And then the fight was on! They went into schooling, courses they had taken, their families
and I think it was a Beyonce video that started the discussion

What do you know about screwing?

I took 8 years of screwing classes in college and am a certified Screw doctor now.You claim to be an expert but you probably just wiki'ed screwing and are trying to sound important

fookin rookie

[Teh One Who Knocks]

You couldn't outscrew me on the screwingest day of the year even if you had an electrified screwing machine

[Hal-9000]

I'll have you know that I built the first screwing machine and am awaiting the patent My Dad is a 6th generation Screwer and I have the family crest to prove it!

oh ye of little knowledge

Oh - if that what it means then I was wrong... I thought it was someone that hangs out and doesn't contribute much if at all
