Making somebody angry on purpose.Over the internet of course. These guys do it here because they lack the balls to do it in real life. A short term satisfaction.
I don't know about that whole short term satisfaction thing... I'm constantly getting off to it IRL and on the internet.

found this in my what is a troll thread, any references to specific actions wont make much sense unless you read the whole thread.
Fuckload of people simply use it towards those they dislike these days, sometimes making a good user go hostile. Sad.
This is possibly the most accurate statement to describe a troll in this entire thread. Most of the time people being accused of being a troll end up becoming fairly negative/hostile users due to that fact that they have been labeled as such. The real trolls are those of you who consistently bash and hate on specific users while providing nothing for this community; no names but you know who you are. People who simply get behind their friends without thinking of the problem at hand, those who attack based on their personal opinion and feelings without thinking about what's being said; you are the true trolls. What I really want, what my overall goal on these forums is to meet people who think for themselves, those who look at a debate/problem and think of their own opinion, make a rational decision and post that instead of simply backing a user they believe to be a friend; that is my opinion of the perfect forum.
Don't misunderstand this, I don't believe I'm without fault, or that I've never trolled anyone; I simply believe many of you should look into a mirror before you label someone a troll again.

I've been following this topic closely and it seem to me that many of the users here at Fakku still have misconceptions of what a troll really is; at least according to my definition. A troll is someone who actively seeks chaos and instability, often resorting to childish behavior like name calling/personal attacks to cause negative emotions among one or multiple users on a forum. I believe where people come into problems recognizing a troll is that a troll must use consistent effort to assault a particular user or group. When I made a "Hime stop posting as much as you do" thread it wasn't trolling, I posted my opinion once and then defended myself against multiple white knights for the rest of the thread. When I asked the community what they felt about Kaho's "Ruuuuu" it wasn't trolling as I didn't even offer my own opinion; I was simply a facilitator for both parties. People jump to conclusions and label anyone they dislike as a troll nowadays.Das wrote...
I'd only slap the troll label on someone with the clear and continuous intent of deceiving/angering/humiliating someone purely for his/her own amusement and without regard for the good of the community. Fuckload of people simply use it towards those they dislike these days, sometimes making a good user go hostile. Sad.

Fuck you and your reasonable definitions.
A troll is something that waits under a bridge just so it can ambush you for surprise buttsecks.

God damn, Waar... I'm sorry I missed that thread, it's only EXACTLY what I've been noticing over the last several months- not only on Fakku, but everywhere. To the extent even I would use as lame a statement as "If I got a nickle every time I heard someone yell 'Troll'. . ."
You over use a label, it looses it's meaning and effectiveness... or at very least its potency on those it was actually created for.
Simply put, its overuse is quite irritating to me.

A troll is someone who makes posts irrelevent to the topic at hand.
Such as someone asking "What is love?" And someone answering with a Haddaway song :)
