I have never been mean to you.And I love how mods can get away with trolling in threads. It is quite humorous, really.

Which makes it trolling.

Okay, seriously? If people are going to go about claiming others are trolling, make sure you actually know what the word means and that you are using it properly.

Trolling is when someone posts something controversial, insulting, baiting, or otherwise leading to other members with consistency in hopes of drawing out someone's emotions such as anger and irritation. 🙄
Originally posted by Toku KingDark-Jaxx does the whole 'Reported' joke quite a lot. It's a joke that came (at least recently) from the Project Mayhem thread. Your fault for taking the internet so seriously, really.

And that makes it funny?

I know. I was one of the people that did it. However, it was among friends and used at a time where it couldn't be taken in any way besides a joke.
Otherwise, it's just obnoxious and annoying.
Originally posted by Toku KingI can see why it would be annoying, but it's not exactly trolling. It's more just general irritance. So, he's not breaking the trolling rule, but he was attempting to wind you up. So he was baiting. Baiting does not equal trolling.

Technically, baiting is trolling. It's trying to get a rise out of someone. It's usually more subtle though.
