I've done that too. Some guy on my irc server started a channel and wanted some help setting it up so he let me be op temporarily in it to help set it up. While I was op, I set myself +e (meaning that I was exempt from bans). After I was done, I removed my op status and he said thanks.Palademon said:
Five minutes later I started trolling. He tried banning me, but I just joined again. He banned me again, and I joined again. He didn't know anything about +e so it was crazy.
Then he got the network admins involved. I promptly stopped.
I like to believe that there are different levels of trolls.
The Epic Troll (successful troll is successful) is the troll who posts a comment and succeeds in getting two or more people fighting amongst each other and then backs off to eat his popcorn and watch the fur fly.
The Troll (trololololol) is the troll who posts a comment and succeeds in getting everyone else mad at him.
The Obvious Troll (unsuccessful troll is unsuccessful) is the troll who posts a comment and is just completely ignored, save by those pointing out his failed attempt at trolling.
Also, trolling is the act of going into a conversation, event, or what have you and intentionally saying something to rile up the masses and cause anger. Unintentional flame baiting is not trolling. Proper trolling is a art and should only be practiced by professionals.

Yup, trolled once, mostly because the person was hilariously ignorant and was dumbfoundingly stubborn.
I've indulged in some trolling before, but its nothing particularly venomous like routing people to websites that might interest the local authorities, or host malware.
Mostly this, actually. How can I make something logical seem farcical, or vice-versa?Ham_authority95 said:
I troll from time to time, but its generally an accident, I usually am trying to challenge someone who expressed a point that angered me or something of the sort, standard internet rage you know, and at some point I stop being reasonable and just turn into a hairy ass bridge dweller

I don't think that I've ever trolled. At least I've never made a conscious effort to troll somebody or a group of people. I'm sure that I've been considered a troll by other people due to them missing the sarcasm or satire that I have in a post, but I've never really meant to purposfully upset someone. I'd much rather discuss a topic like civilized people do.
Edit: Although come to think of it, I wouldn't mind trolling some zeolous fanatics with their heads up their ass. I don't care what they are fanatic about, I generally just get amused by making fun of these overly-serious people. But I've never done it before. Mainly because I've only really frequent this site and most people here are rather reasonable.

Pew pew, IS FIRING TROLL CANNON!
That sounds too fun.
But have I ever trolled? Well, I used to be an asshole on the internet some years ago (well, I was an asshole in real life too, kind of...at times), but I don't really think I did that much of what I could specifically call trolling.
A few times, yeah. But not these days.
Unless when I decide to browse /b/ 4 FUNZIES HERP A DERP!

Oooooh boy, I used to be a huge troll back in the old days of being on The Escapist... made a thread specifically for flame wars and got myself suspended
Have since become very critical of such trollish activities.

That guy is "declaring war" on bieber hater in the same way that a guy throwing a tomato at a police officer is declaring "war against the state"Arkhangelsk said:
Yes, but mostly on facebook. I can't think of a time when it was on something else, but there probably has been one. Well, there were a few times when I was accused of trolling for having an opinion of my own (example: SC is just AoE in space).
