What is a troll?
 

I have seen this word alot on this forum, what does it mean? Thanks.

Have you tried a search? Typing ["what is a troll"]* in the searchbox will bring up posts with the exact same title.

*note: use the quotation marks.

It is a person that starts a post for the sole purpose of causing trouble. Even when there is little interest in the post, they will post again just to bring it up again.

some times a person will post a question that is so inane that it's hard to believe that he/she is serious. So the tendency is to assume that person is a troll. Unfortunately, sometimes it's just a stupid question from someone that doesn't understand just how dumb it sounds.

Sometimes it's a question that while not inane it just seems like the wrong website to be asking for advice. :-)

I don't believe in trolling. The people who don't like the subject should not review or respond to it. Move on.

I think it is objectionable to refer to trolls in this derogatory manner. There they are in there mountain halls, just mining and minding there own business...
Youth in Asia? nevermind...

It's a Llort backing up.
