How to spot a troll

MidnightVoice — Wed, 04 Jul 2007 20:22:32 GMT

Just for fun:

The first post is usually long, designed to either sell something or upset the majority of the board.

There will be excessive use of formatting (the post is usually prepared well in advance). Lots of bold, font size changes, color, underlining etc.

The content will be suggesting things that are usually diametrically opposed to the content/purpose of the board.

If ignored, they usually go away.

If they persist, they are usually banned

Hey! I'm not a troll. I'm a CONTRARIAN...that's C-O-N-T-R-A-R-I-A-N. Con-TRAIR-e-n. Doesn't sound anything like "troll." I'm a veteran Dungeons and Dragons player, and I can tell you trolls are nasty green monsters that live under bridges. Contrarians are witty, free-thinking people who kick sacred cows and make people think outside the box.

Sheesh.

Hmm.. I see you more as a Dungeon Master. If only evocation could be applied to FICO.

PS... you know it is not ok to play if you are Christian right?

I feel like I just found a spot in the ocean where the water is a little warmer

Uhh, that don't really sound right

What I'm trying to say is! It's nice in this forum. Even the admins are out and about here, I mean those whose names are in light blue cause they're special (no, not short bus special (hehe Tusc)).
