So who determines who a troll is and is not? Some may consider Kingspeed or Mags a troll, for examlpe
Kingspeed does troll. He admitted it at one point. I don't think Mags trolls though. I think the question you have to ask is, "does this person actually believe what they're saying or are they posting it to get a reaction?" That's how I look at it.
So if a person calls someone a troll when they may not intend to be, then that would be wrong, right?
A troll is someone who is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, either accidentally or with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion This literally happens in every thread with more than a couple of posts.
There are a number of questionable people on this forum that do troll. And I do think there's a difference between saying someone is "trolling" and outright calling someone a "troll." I think there have been times when virtually every single person on the forum has trolled to an extent, but there are only a few true trolls. If someone tells you to stop trolling, that could be a legitimate post about something you said. If someone outright calls you a troll, that's a pretty bold statement.
Of course I do. But that's the way it was explained to all of us a million times. And that's how most people now have shifted their approach in their responses. I see it quite a bit. I've wanted to call people dumb, moron, etc several times. Instead, I call the post moronic, and nothing gets edited.
That's MM. I've been told a few times in the past, "If I repped, I'd rep you for this post." That's about as much love as you'll get from MM. Don't take it personal.

I think someone who constantly posts such things as "AssClown" and Leonar_" could be considered to be trolling a Blazer forum. It's one thing to not like a certain coach or a player, but making up childish names for them, IMO, is meant to get under other posters' skins. To see that same guy whine and cry for two days now is hilarious.
Personally I don't see why "AssClown" and "Leonar_" would get under anyone's skin. And because of that, I wouldn't consider it trolling.
If you focus solely on the off topic comments then some of the mods SLY looking at you are among the biggest offenders.
