What's the difference between trolling and spamming?

[Peter_20]

I find the differences very subtle:
it seems like trolling means intending to annoy other members, whereas spamming is just some random junk you post for fun.

I troll, demondude spams.

Bunny trolls badly, I spam well.

Incorrect usage of the word badly. l2english

Flaming: Insulting or intentionally offending other members in a fairly obvious way.
Flamebaiting: Trying to get other members to flame you.
Trolling: Trying to bring people down in spirits, ruin the forum atmosphere, annoy people etc. - Any of these things done intentionally.
Spamming: Posting that does not add to the topic of the thread in any way or posting things that are not relevant to the forum.
Double posting: Posting twice in a row.
Duplicate posting: Posting the same thing in more than one post.

Something like that, anyway.

Oh sorry I better go die then.

Trolling requires skill. Spamming requires you to be pg, and for the forum to not have double poast time limits.

Trolling is loosely defined as inciting a slew of emotionally charged replies. An example is 'women can't drive' ( <3 it's an example)

[Old Manus]

Trolling is posting something deliberately to get a big reaction, imho. Spamming is like 'Hai guise I got this FREE Gucci hangbag from goatse.lol you can get one too if you join up!'

[Peter_20]

Yeah, I kinda think of it this way:

TROLLING:
"Final Fantasy sucks, why do you even care about this series?"

SPAMMING:
"lollizorzIrockselirocksorz12345!!1"


Bunny trolls badly, I spam well.XD
