Wondered what constitutes "TROLLING" or being a "TROLL" here on this forum? I see the term thrown around a lot.
Thanks in advance.

Someone who injects absolutely nothing of substance into a thread. Picks fights. Name calls. Generally just behaves like an a$$.

Yes there are lots of them.
People who only come to the site to copy and paste 'welcome' over and over and over again
All too often "Troll" is just a generic insult hurled at anyone that does not 100% agree with a poster's view point. But generally, 6MT's definition is bang on.
I always felt that true definition of a troll is someone who is intentionally provocative with no purpose other than to inflame members...the name comes from "trolling"...dragging your bait from a boat to catch a fish. To me, the term is applied too often to members who are just jerks.
From Wilki. Basically an A88
In Internet slang, a troll (/ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory,[1] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[2] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.[3]
