Need advice

[XaeL]

I'll think you'll find that actually you sound silly because of your own stupid practice of making a post, and then editing more stuff into it while I was writing my response, and not marking it as edited.

EDIT: LOL like you JUST did on the post above this one with the last two paragraphs added.

I do mark it as edited. I have not yet edited a post. You simply edit your posts without writing edit to make ME look stupid.

EDIT: From a third party perspective, how would they know that YOU were not the one editing your posts to make me look silly and that it was not I editing posts after posting? Answer: They cant tell.

It appears to me that you do not even know what trolling is

Lol, I've got Yotsuba, lolicon goddess of 4chan, as my avatar. I have a pretty decent idea of what is and isn't trolling.

Then please, as mentioned about 4 times, explain what it is.

It's the vast majority of this thread. Whether you believe it or not.

Like I said before. You can't be told what it is. You have to discover the secrets of trolling for yourself.

And shame we're using IPB forum software rather than something decent which actually marks if posts are edited or not.

xeal = troll who started topic
rosti = troll trolling the troll to teach the troll a lesson

WHAT A NICE THREAD.

Ok, clearly i'm not going to find out what trolling is from this thread. Even the disciple of that 4chan troll person cannot tell me what it is. I guess it can be locked now. I shall continue my search ELSEWHERE on the internets!


EDIT:

what *are* the penalties for trolling anyway?

[Rosti_LFC]

rosti = troll trolling the troll to teach the troll a lesson

I thought I was doing a fairly good job at least. Better than reading the inevitable several pages of other people just being trolled otherwise.

But you're not trolling me, insulting me isnt defined as trolling as you said in the 2nd page?

EDIT: As far as i know, no trolling has occurred yet in this thread. I asked you via examples whether they were trolling, and you said none of them were. Via those criteria no post in this thread has yet surmounted to the definition of trolling.

[virulent]

this reminds me far too much of proofs class D:

if i were to say this thread is meaningless would you write a proof against my statement in which i would be Person C n in the end my statement would be false? D:

[coolmaninsano]

This should have been taken to PMs already

[chopin]

Yes, we've had a few complaints about trolling... I personally don't believe in shutting down threads, but please calm down guys. Xeal dude, go play Tetris lol. Please be considerate everyone

Rosti - if there is a definition of trolling and you know it, say it - if I were Socrates, I'd say that I wanted a general definition of the verb "to troll" or the noun "a troll" or the noun "a troll post", rather than just examples, ὦ Λάχες.

Is it impossible to find a single forum where everyone makes thought provoking, well worded, and useful posts? When we have a thread like this, can we honestly say it hasn't been taken too far?

How's about we all try to make useful, thoughtful, posts instead of this back and forth bullsh!t. I don't come here to read threads like this, I come to learn about tetris (and maybe a few goofy side threads that are not argument based)

holy fxck...
