Trolling

[imperialism2024]

Hmm after being called a "troll" on another forum that I just joined last night, with the accuser's evidence being that I posted a lot even though I just joined, I decided to post this situation to the PH community. As long as the posts are on-topic and not inflammatory, is there any way that joining a forum and posting often right off the bat can be construed as "trolling"?

Yeaaah I've brushed it off, though I'm just curious...

It's not like I joined and posted "BUSH IS A BIG FAT STUPID LIAR AND HE KILLED THE MIDDLE EAST AND ANYONE WHO TALKS ABOUT HIM IS LUUUUUSERS!!!!!!!"

Oh well.

Well, the ironic thing is that the forum just started back up at the beginning of July... Perhaps some people are just angry that I have higher post counts than they do, and I've only been there a day.

Perhaps they are confusing "trolling" with "post-whorring"

Either way, ignore em and post away

And if you dont post then the forum is dead. People are strange *looks in mirror*

It's a fair cop.
