Trolls and Trolling
Although I think I have a pretty good idea on how to define a "troll" and "trolling" I would like to see if different people have slightly different definitions. It just seems sometimes that one member might state someone is a "troll" but others disagree. Sometimes, I see people saying "I can't tell if ____ is a troll or not". So give me your defintiions of a "troll" and maybe include tips on how to deal with them.

I think people on this board lately have been jumping on new members too quickly in labeling them as trolls. My definition though of a troll is someone who comes on the board just to make fun of the Mavs and their fans or just posts junk that adds nothing to the board.

Haha, your junk is funny though and it certainly adds to the board's humor

Fans of other teams checking out what other fans are up to. Spies. People who have no intention but to wreak nothingness in to peoples happy and contented life. Want example? Im sure posters from this board can name a few.
I dont have any problem with posters from other teams posting on this board, as long as they dont, in any way, disrespect members of this board. They can do that somewhere else, but not on my board! There are some sites where Trolls are welcome to do anything they wish, but here in Dm.com we have rules that need to be followed. Abide by it and you're ok in my book Mav fan or no Mav fan. Comprente?

It would be easier to just list the trolls and act accordingly...
trolls come in all forms!

This Hollinger guy that keeps posting is a total troll. His posts are inane, stupid and are obviously biased. Suns and Spurs are better than the Mavs? Come on now.

I move that Stephen A. Smith be designated a troll, just in case he ever decides to post here.

People who lobby to be a moderator should never be a moderator. It is a sign of bad things to come.

Why are you posting in a troll thread if you are here to talk Mavs? Pretty simple concept.

Got PMed by this idiot. Don't even know the guy. Never talked to him, and he has 0 posts.
Is it just me or are Denver fans debatably the most annoying trolls around?
Mods wanna check his IP for double-up with other Nuggets trolls? ;]
...I think he might be Kenyon Martin...

My intent is not to troll your board, but to have some good conversation and some smack talk with Mavs fans during this series.
Smack talk is part of the fun of playoffs.

I'm sure the mods' intent won't be to ban the trolls, but to provide strong instruction on the importance of not being a douche on another team's forum.
Strong instruction is the fun part of being a mod.

Whoa whoa whoa, I have to object. The last time you posted something for us to enjoy, we saw too much form-fitting male underwear. Your abs were very nice though.
