<p>Just curious because I am new to forums, but what is a troll?</p>

<p>someone who delibreately makes controversial an doffensive statements just to garner attention to his/her post.</p>

<p>Yep. After a while it becomes obvious whether or not a post/thread is someone trolling. Sometimes, you wouldn't be surprised if a troll makes a new "personality" and comments on his/her original thread just to bump it up (make it appear on the first page of the forum).</p>
