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.

I am sure you get all the respect you deserve

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? 
OK so I post on the trolls thread and it's removed????? What the heck?
I promise I'm not "after" anyone right now! Really! I love you all! Promise!
