Rule Clarification; Trolling

If the mods are alerted and vote that what you're doing is trolling, then you're trolling. Use your judgement.

When you make a rule, it's black and white. If you write the rule with verbiage to allow flexibility, then there's room for gray areas.

The way the rule is written doesn't show flexibility. Therefore, a little bit of clarification on it is needed.

maybe you should cite an example of a real-world instance where a rule hasn't been open to interpretation (and thus "grey area" behavior)? That will certainly help the mods.
 
Naos, leave the dude alone. He is asking the moderators a question.

Why do you feel the need to become involved?
 
Trolling is a humanly need. Just don't push the limits and don't do it more than rarely. My seventyfive million dollars.

I post therefore I am...
 
I think the rule should be altered to aim not the trolling acts but troll accounts. And even it should be limited in case it brings fun to people.

Go Real Salt Lake!
 
For instance I love my jokes. I always read them back and have a good laugh. Now is it fair to rob me away from it? I enjoy me man.

Go Real Salt Lake!
 
If we get strict with this then most everyone in here will be fracted and banned.
 
Not my site, but if it were, my answer; Trolling is an ambiguous term, on purpose. I want the ability to define it as I so choose to infract or ban a poster that I feel is an overall negative influence to the board.

If a poster is trolling, in my opinion, I will stop them. Period. As someone else said, use your judgement.
 
I think it's been said. The rules are not black and white in some cases. In fact in most cases. They are what we fall back to if something is going too far. This is why many years ago I implemented a moderator vote on issues. History of the user is factored in as well as the general usability of the community, including (believe it or not) an ideal where we try to stay out of it most of the time. If you're looking for black and white, sorry but you won't find it otherwise only Colton would still have an account and we would all be banned.

Not that anyone cares, but my opinion is that Roach engaged with both frank and NAOS with some unkindness ensuing.
Roach responded with some butt-hurt (when he should have just shrugged it off) while frank and NAOS responded by continually being demeaning and not letting up.

All should treat each other with a bit more respect.
I ONLY ever mess with those I'm comfortable can handle it/like it.
If I sense I'm really truly hurting someone's feelings I stop immediately.

So, in my world, trolling is NOT stopping when you know better.
