It depends on how far you go, I think using racist, nazisism and homofobic remarks is definetely going to far.
Its different if your just kidding around, but downvaluing another human being is not a joke

oh, just come up with something silly, it's easy once you get a bit of experience...

As have I.
Which I find hilarious given the amount of time I spent posting on here before I got banned. If I'd been posting under more the one account all that time, I'd have had no sleep at all for three months lol. Although, the person who accused me of this is paranoid and obsessive beyond belief.

Smeg, I wonder if your accuser and mine are the same....

Anyway, as I said, 'tis resolved now.

Oh, come on. There must be a few exceptions. If you were so utterly in conflict with a site, would you take action? I have to make my opinions known on certain sites, perhaps if I put up a good enough argument, it'll save a few minds. I don't know if I have, but it's well worth the thought. Plot the seeds of truth and virtue. Hmm, that's catchy. Sig'd.

After all, this is the internet. There's hardly a risk of retaliation or retribution, and posting messages on sites, getting responses to intelligent and not so intelligent posts, it helps me study human psychology, in a way. How people act online gives clues to how they act offline.

I don't believe in trolling by acting out a character, such as a Nazi or a Racist. That's more my Brother's way of doing it. I Prefer to simply act on what I Know will Frustrate people. Simple one for example - go on 4chan and type "bump" in the message field, but "sage" in the email field. Do it a couple of times, and suddenly they explode in a fit of childish rage.

That's funny, considering that 4chan sucks.

Acting as a racist is absolutely wrong, and goes against everything that I stand for, not to mention that it's horribly distasteful.

As I said in an earlier post, I only Troll places that deserve it. And to be honest, nothing takes the edge off a bad mood like making a 4channer have a tantrum.

Agreed.

yeah come on pagans are cool

I don't understand this thread at all. I thought trolls were the people who flooded forums with inappropriate material usually links or sent viruses to forums to close them down.
I didnt realise creating a character to gain other peoples sympathy was part of what they did , thats just sick. I had that happen to me in a chatroom once , a lady came in who had lost her twin sons in a car accident that week and was looking for support, for a month people helped her come to terms with what happened people were available to her 24/7 if she needed to talk etc then someone said she had made it all up and was on the site as two different people the other of whom was a chatty outgoing lad. i couldnt belive it , i was upset for months after that , i really couldnt belive that someone would be so sick and exploit other peoples good nature. i thought that was just one weirdos idea of a joke , are you saying that this kind of thing goes on routinely on sites like this ? and that the posters on this thread are doing that kind of thing ?

there is the discription of a troll, somebody who isn't being themselves just to stir up trouble. It isn't somebody who has a different point of veiw than the main click of posters and disagree's with them.

Maybe a definitive definition of spammer could be given too, as I know of someone who was being accused of spamming when they were actually just resurrecting old threads because they didn't particularly agree with what some others were talking about. Someone pointed out they may have spammed, but there is no clear definition; if it's true that they did fit the definition, then they would have apolgised. Matter of fact, there are a lot of internet terms that some of us, esp the oldies don't understand and would like definitions.

Also, what does 'you have been pwned' mean printed over and over in a loop? Surely that would be spamming instead of resurrecting old threads.

This thread has helped prove some of my theories about trolls and their ideal victims sharing similar psychologies (personality disorders). People who I have considered unfair victim of trolling on WP and who I have worked behind the scene to reduce people attacking them. Have addmited in this thread they have double lives as trolls.

People who do not feed trolls are rarely relentlessly attacked. People who do feed them are merely trolls themselves in various degrees of attack mode.

No i do not see the point of trolling a website because there is always people that like to use the website and somebody trolling it is not really fair IMO.
