  • I'm only asking this because my friend was banned for trolling. I know what it means, but I know different sites have a different meaning about it. Thank you!

    Trolling;; to go around making unnecessary assumptions and rude pointless comments.
    Also, to make snide, sarcastic comebacks when someone tells you off for being so "horrible."





    It's like the cruder version of spamming? I can go into a more descriptive definition if you want but I'd though I'd keep it simple. c:

  • When someone is intentionally being disruptive.


    This is one reason why we let members delete any posts made to their own threads now and let members ban people off threads...you don't need to call staff to clean up spam messes anymore. :P

    I have to admit, it was a very handy little thing to add onto the site! C:
    May I ask who's idea it was? If it was yours; it's ingenious <3





    I don't even get why people would bother spamming and trolling, it makes no sense ;w;

  • You mean the thread bans and ability to delete? They were my ideas, but only in a sense; a lot of other sites allow you to remove material posted onto your own stuff, so I was just following their lead.

  • The best way to avoid it is not to feed into it.


    If your friend was shown a ban message for trolling, are you sure it was intended for your friend? Was he or she a normally playing member before the ban message, and got no warning or anything?
