GlasgoJambo Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I'm shite at identifying trolling. Could folk post their definitions of what they believe a troll/trolling is? As far as I can fathom it's an evolving term and people have different definitions of its meaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael_bolton Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 The Kickback definition of trolling seems to be anybody who goes against the grain on any thread and refuses to back down when shouted down by other posters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, from observing many threads it has become clear the the T word is thrown about to simply anyone who disagrees and stands their ground. It's becoming meaningless.

You're really trying to push this Rangers hatred aren't you they're not in our league mate so it doesn't have the same effect, maybe next season you can come back with the "great to see a full house at Ibrox again" "Gers back where they belong" patter and you might get a bite or two.

niblick1874 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Is trolling a form of sarcasm? Can it be an obscure in joke? Would an undercover hibby see it as an achievement? Is there a troll clique? Am I missing out on a sexual high by not quite grasping the point of it? Is it cool? Would Kickback fall apart without it? Is it legal in the real world? Is there a head troll? Are there any side affects? Can you be a part time troll? Is there a book I can bye that explains the ins and outs of it?

chester copperpot Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I must admit that from time to time I get really bored with things on here, so if something I read tends to annoy me, I try to get a reaction from the poster by trying to get them to bite. I used to be a lot more tolerant of certain folk and posters, but it's the same ones with an opinion on ****ing everything that annoy me, and again, if you disagree with anything they say, they take great offence and report posts etc. I'd like to think that when I post in the Terrace, I try to educate people in my posts, as I know not everyone has the same footballing knowledge as myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudolfskai Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Seems to be fashionable just now to tell someone with a different opinion to you that they're trolling?

Smack Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Just the other night I urged the JKB Collective to turn on Neil Alexander. That was a joke. Trolling is a darker art. Trolling is a spastic term for people and politicians and those in the media who haven't yet come to terms with the terrible bullying, or perceived bullying they received when they were at school. Intelligent people can tell the difference. Unfortunately trolling has become a catch all term for anyone who disagrees with a semi accepted viewpoint. You're all idiots.

The People's Chimp Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 It is an unfortunate trend, and we have the media to blame, as they used it as a shorthand for the nasty, abusive and horrible behaviours adopted by reprobates on the internet when they throw out threats or abuse women on twitter and other horrible by products of giving any moron access to a social media account and therefore a voice. But that wasn't trolling. If language evolves, then it may also now be trolling, because the media have used it wrongly, but so relentlessly, that it has stuck. There are therefore two kinds. The adopting of a position, even one you don't believe in, to expose idiocy, or of using sarcasm or satire to do the same. Fishing for a bite comes under the same heading. Then there's the media's idea of a troll, someone who tweets celebrities death or rape threats, or posts horribly misogynist stuff online etc. Then there's the current KB populace' idea of trolling, which is saying anything which goes against the IN ROBBIE WE TRUST QUEEN ANN FOREVER MR LEVEIN KNOWS BEST pollyanna wonderland where there is a black and white division between good and bad, or right and wrong.

This is the part I find a bit mad. The idea that it can be used to demonstrate intelligence or have some sort of complex meaning, like an art form or whatever. Yes, occasionally, some examples of wummery are very entertaining but generally they're pretty lame and usually appeal to a tiny number of people. It all seems a bit self-indulgent.
