Trolls are people who make posts with the intent of causing trouble or getting people angry.

They make posts about touchy subjects to push people's buttons and generally destroy the aspect of community.

In terms of FS/FT, trolls are people who rip you off.

It has several different meanings on this board. For questions like these you are best off using http://www.urbandictionary.com/

Just look up the word there any time you have a question and it will always help you. :)


And, then you don't have to look like a n00b asking everyone. :p


This is probably the definition you are looking for (it changes as you go to the FS/T forum).


1. troll

One who posts a deliberately provocative message to a newsgroup or message board with the intention of causing maximum disruption and argument

Hope that helps, and you enjoy your time on AT!
