My Troll alarm went off earlier today.
To explain where I am coming from, a small description about Trolling:

A Smart Troll will post something on the Dum Dodos Forum, which promotes, indirectly, the Wise Asses Forum.
He will imply that somehow the Dum Dodos need to wise up and become Wise Asses.
This will inflame the Dum Dodos Forum and a catfight ensues.
With a bit of luck it could even spill over into the Wise Asses Forum, much to the delight of said Smart Troll, who does not actually belong to ANY Forum, other than to Troll.
He will often have a WAF banner in his signature to egg things on a bit.

The Stupid Troll is the same as the Smart Troll, except he actually belongs to the WAF and is trying to promote it, by inflaming the Dum Dodos Forum to the point where they look, er, dumb.

One step further, and offscale on the stupid side, is the Non-Troll, who does everything a Troll does, but doesn't realise it.

The Golden Rule about Trolls?

I dont really have a problem with it as long as all the rulz on the forum are followed ,pluging something out of interest to all is a good idea as long as its not trying to #### everyone off ,,took me awhile to work out what troll but have found what you are refering too...

Wise Asses will be what they think they are, no matter what we do ,i was warned about this one alittle while ago but the war of the forums and people died along time ago and if a troll or trolls want to keep fighting with themself or himself let them do it ,really let the kids play ...

one thing that does bother me sometimes is half of the stuff we find to post here ends up there as like a new thing ,posted by the troll ...

oh well our sim world will keep on turning on a daily bases as for theres well i think most would be here reading all the new posts ...

Very well put Charl winkyy.gif

Theres nothing else to say about this, except to the mods; its a team effort, and its great to see guys and gals (the moderators) looking out for each other winkyy.gif

It makes a change to what happens in real life at times... sad.gif
