Trolling threads
Discussion
Trolling is talked about a lot, but how would you really define it?
I reckon there should be an element of "disruption" to a thread for an accusation of troll to stick.
It doesn't happen a lot, I'd say.
Just because a thread is of minority interest, but is important to the poster .... well, that doesn't make the poster a troll.
If someone really has no interest in a thread yet posts something diversionary (apart from obvious humour, or a straight "I'm not interested") then that could be a troll.
There are plenty of PH examples of minority interest threads, two on the go at present are "Teenager owns a Ferari 458" (including the incorrect spelling) and "Importing a car from malta". Is either of those a troll thread?
Sorry, bit of a Whinge I suppose .........
