Whats your stance on trolling

*What's your stance on trolling

 

[Last Hugh Alive]

I don't mind trolling sometimes. It can be extremely funny if the topic permits. And I'm sure almost everyone here, myself included, is guilty of trolling at one point or another.

IPADS SUCK.

Oh what now? Trolling?

I think people get a bit over board in what exactly they call trolling, sometimes they will just say you're a troll because they disagree with your opinion.

I personally find it hilarious in a few forms (generally when a troll is counter-trolled), although I don't do it myself. I also find it funny when trolls think they are trolling you but don't realize that you don't care.

If it's good trolling, it's called 'satire.'

This.
I'm going to take that out of context and ignore your "that's completely different" remark.

Satire is certainly trolling, and it is often funny and well done. Now if only the people who think they are achieving something with comments like "U madd bro?" would raise their trolling to an equal height...

Trolling is just a cry for help. They need our compassion, not our rebuke.

 

[Rooster893]

It's hilarious at times, other times it's just uncalled for.

Like on 4chan and Funnyjunk, trolling is perfect for those sites.

Now on sites like The Escapist...trolling is awful.

It ultimately depends on where the troll takes place.
If it takes place on a certain site that I am not supposed to mention, then it is fine, for that IS the place for the good trolls.
On sites like this one, however, frown upon trolling. It would be nice if they did add a "random" page, so all the trolls would go there rather than on other sections of the forums.

 

[Off Topic]

Personaly I think it's funny when happens to other people but not me. I am writeing this on a iPad 2
And what about griefing

Appel fangirls need to learn wreit betterer...trolololo!

Don't feed the trolls.

Trolls come in two varieties: Attention whores and Straight A*holes.

There is nothing good about trolling. At least according to my definition. To me trolling is the act of intentionally pissing someone (or some people) off for no reason. You can claim it's funny, but in my opinion it's only funny when you know the person. That's just giving your friends crap, which is kind of expected. When you intentionally piss random strangers off on purpose, you're just a dick.

^this.

It can be funny but trolling on easy prey (on purpose) is sad. I mean, you are intentionally pissing off naive people in hopes that they will do something stupid for your own amusement. Trolling an 8 year girl is not really an accomplishment.

Someone who trolls an 8 year old girl must be pretty easy to troll,therefore trolling him to show him how much of a dumbass he is would make the troll troller look more pathetic than the troll trolling the little girl.

And now for something completely different.

Umm, That was Hawkard!

 

[xmbts]

I'd rather it not happen, but I like when it does, because then I can just send it right back at them with a big wall of indifference.

C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!!!

 

[Mauro Carrizales]

I hate trolling and people who troll should really get a life.

 

[Lewieroo0]

i think trolling is funny when done to the right kind of people, otherwise it's just a pain in the arse.

 

[gmaverick019_v1legacy]

meh mostly i find it pretty funny, its usually someone trying way to hard to prove someone wrong or someone is just being an aggressive dick and has it coming to em, sure some of them are dumb or are trying way too hard, but overall i just enjoy the shit out of it...

but then again i don't get half as annoyed as most people on the internet, so maybe that's just me..

 

[Escapefromwhatever]

The standards for "Good trolling" are way too low. Seriously, too many people are so proud of themselves for it. I can appreciate good humor, like, real wit. But if you are the "lol u mad?" or the "LOL Y SO SRS" type, and try and build yourself as some sort of internet alpha male because of your leet trolling, you just look pathetic.

lol u mad?

 

[SL33TBL1ND]

It depends on the context, sometimes it's hilarious, sometimes it's annoying. I find the best times to be when someone gets counter trolled.

 

[Jimmybobjr]

As long as its trolling without a victim, or causes entire thread derailments, or links to shock sites (Lemon Party, 2girls1cup and so forth (dont google those if you dont know what they are)) Its fine. as long as everyone will be able to stand back in a few seconds and have a nice chuckle, its good.

When its Trolling with the intention of causing grief or anger (Which it usialy is, sadly) its a problem, and i dislike it.

Sometimes, i wonder what the internet would be like if the BlizzardRealID system went through. Probably very boring, but still...
