Post Below on what you think trolling is. Trolling to me is un needed comments that can lead to drama. --------------------  | ||||||

 IRC Nickname: Gorgemaster Group: Elite Guardian Posts: 9840 Member No.: 3 Joined: December 26, 2007 Total Events Attended: 540 | Trolling is posting or saying something to someone with the deliberate intent to cause drama or upset said person. There is a very fine line between trolling and a joke... and although there is no easy way to define this line... it all depends on who the person you are joking around with is, and how close a friend they are, and how you believe they will take the joke. If in doubt about saying something, just don't say it... --------------------    | ||||||

 IRC Nickname: Darth Group: Ex-Member Posts: 4601 Member No.: 838 Joined: June 12, 2008 Total Events Attended: 558 | I think basically, comments that you say that you're only saying to elicit a negative reaction without trying to get a point across. What I said on the IA was mistaken to be trolling. I personally think it's not, but I think it was just bluntness. If I was trying to troll, I would've said something like: "110 combat is simple to do in 8 weeks, but I'm sure certain members will have difficulty doing it, right Alain?" THAT would be trolling. --------------------  | ||||||

Others dont. People percieve (sp?) it in very diffent ways tbh as darth said the poster doesnt always think it as trolling. Its the readers reaction that defines it as trolling. --------------------     | ||||||

Along these lines... Trolling isn't always negative to me, and it's too difficult to give examples. I feel some of the examples given above are edging on flaming, and not trolling.. --------------------  | ||||||

 IRC Nickname: rachellove Group: Council Posts: 6955 Member No.: 173 Joined: January 31, 2008 Total Events Attended: 305 | Katt has the general idea of it. But I'd add that it is not something that will enrich or make anyone or anything better. Sometimes used by the person to belittle others to make themselves feel better. Usually will not result in a positive reaction by the person that it is directed at. --------------------  Thank you Garrett and Dallar. “The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them.
