I am a muscular man."
okay, outside of the random "troll under the bridge" kind of thing you read about in children's stories, i have no idea what people are talking about when they mention trolls with regard to this message board. could someone please educate me! these trolls seem to generate a lot of negative feelings and i want to be sure that my posts are not considered "troll-like"!

Going on the basis this is an honest question, per Wikipedia:

Quote:

In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional or disciplinary response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.

Trolling is a violation of the implicit rules of Internet social spaces and is often done to inflame or invite conflict.

The difficulty inherent in monitoring trolling and maintaining freedom of speech in online communities: "harassment often arises in spaces known for their freedom, lack of censure, and experimental nature." The broadly accepted ethic of free speech may lead to tolerance of trolling behavior, further complicating the members' efforts to maintain an open yet supportive discussion area, especially for sensitive topics .



If it wasn't an honest question, it's trolling.

Ooops...I see your other posts and mention of being "bored". It's not an honest question--I wish to hell you'd stop bollicking up the list of threads with your idiocy.

It's really quite a noble endeavor of yours, to try to be the first member to ever have EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOUR THREADS consigned to Troll Country.

I would like to help!

You know, for someone who claims to be so hot and all that, you sure do spend an awful lot of your Saturday night being an ass on this board... Shouldn't a "stud" like you have more of a social life? Unless, of course, you repulse people in real life as much as you repulse people on the internet...

No--because you're a dick, and I think because of your continued antics,there isn't a single person who wants you on this board.I wait for your juvenile and futile attempt at an intelligent response.

Peacekeeper---keeping order in every verse!!!

KINGEICHOLZ
hot
don't understand what to talk about on here i know you can't talk about yourself that's a big no no and you can't talk about firefly cast members what can you talk about in a ''GENERAL DISCUSSION BOARD''? Oh I know lest talk about what to eat or lets start a thread about caption tightpants (caption tightpants? how GAY does that sound?) Then hope that people like Jack peacemaker or Jack Bytemite approves of the thread or it will get shipped to the garbage bin likes who do they think they are to approve or disapprove of someone's thread?

brain is smart

I'm not sure if that's actually a question or a statement.

Obviously since it's titled "General discussions and comments relating to Firefly," it's supposed to be an area to discuss Firefly. I'm not sure everyone uses it that way, but that appears to be what it's for.

There's "Talk Story" for other general stuff; I check that regularly and we have fun down there.

And of course RWE is for politics for the most part, obviously.

I think it's great there's the talk story forum, as it's a place I can go to discuss things neither firefly nor (potentially) be involved in the, ahem, "enthusiasm" down in REW.

I don't think the people you mention are the deciders of what goes where, I think that's up to the person/people who pay for this board. I think posting what you did was out of line, but I'm not sure where it belongs, if that's what you're asking.

This IS a Firefly website, as well, so if one wishes to discuss other things only, I guess this is the wrong place to be?

Why can't you talk about yourself or cast members? Unless you mean saying unkind things about the cast members; given it's a fan site, I don't imagine that would go over too well...

Capt. Tightpants, by the way, is what Kaylee called Mal in Shindig...there's nothing gay about it, it was a snide remark on her part--I don't know what people discuss there, haven't been there, I like the three areas I mentioned and stay almost exclusively in them.







what you gonna do when kingamania runs wild on you?
