Troll?

I'm hoping that someone can help me out with this. What do people mean when they refer to someone as a "troll" on the internet?

Thanks for reading.

Somebody who registers on a message board or internet group just to cause trouble.

Probably someone who just goes and writes stuff that have nothing to do with the subject...Or somebody bad :confused:

For example, that guy I just banned... FFISTEHSUX or whatever his name was. He was just posting in threads saying things like "OMG ur all ugly" just to get someone to fight with him. Like Joel said, someone who pops up just to start trouble.

Thanks for helping me out everyone. :)

A troll is a mischievous green creature about the size of a dwarf, that usually resides under or near a bridge crossing.

Treasure trolls are the best type.

If someone is banned there really is no point calling him a bastard. So yeah, try not to do that.

Oh sorry ^^...

Here is a site that explains Internet Trolls.

The site Leeza posted was rather informative, I'll have to make a note of it.

There must be some sort of mistake, because you linked to my profile!
