Everyone, please, don't get uptight about these wacko threads. Trolls feed on people getting upset. Ignore them and they will go away.

It would be nice to require posters to take a test to make sure thay have the necessary capacity to make intelligent posts.

Why the word Troll? Why can't we call them ghouls?

It would be nice if the general population could recognize a troll instantly. This was an easy one, and lots of folks started arguing with it.

Who's the troll?

If you post a lot on forums you have to deal with them a lot. I'm rather impressed with Storm2K.. they have very few from what I've seen and deal with them efficiently.

The term "troll" is generally used to decribe somone who posts only to generate the maximum number of follow ups or answering posts.

The phrase "Don't feeds the Trolls" is a common response on message boards when troll posts are suspected.

You can only call them ghouls on Halloween.

I know, but I just thought it was time for a change. The word "Troll" is getting old. We don't have to continue the tradition. Besides I think it's more fun calling these people ghouls. :cheesy:

On halloween we can't tell a difference. :wink:

I am locking this thread as it needs no more attention either. Moves are being made by the staff and that is all that needs to be said.
