Am I a Troll?
Posted: Wed Jul 26, 2017 4:40 pm
Here is how you know if you are a Troll or not. If you answer "yes" to any of these points then you my friend are an internet Troll.
Do you like to insult people in your comments and posts?
If your answer is yes then you are a Troll. This forum does not exists for people to hurl insults at others. Any form of insult will not be tolerated on this platform. Please be respectful to others.
Do you like to argue for the sake of arguing? Troll!
Yes, if you like to challenge everything others say for the sake of arguing then you are a Troll. Challenging someone on every sentence even those which are not related to the topic is not productive. We encourage productive debates which readers can benefit from. Always think "what benefit does what I am writing have?".
Grammar Nazis are Trolls.
I know that most of the people here are involved in the education field, and at times it is hard to control yourself when you see "to" instead of "too" or "their" instead of "they're". This forum is laid back, there are people from all walks of life coming asking questions, as long as you understand what the person means there is no need to correct their grammar. Please understand that this is not your classroom. However, there is an exception, if you do answer someone's inquiry and spend the time to offer help, then you can correct their grammar and get it out of your system. Do not leave a comment just to correct some's grammar.
Do you know everything? Do you like to let people know that? Troll!
You do not know everything. You may believe that you know more than most people, but ponder this "Work hard in silence, let your success be your noise".
Do you like to use profanity and ALL CAPS? well, no one else does.
There is really no need to ever use profanity on this forum. If your vocabulary doesn't allow for you to leave a post without using profanity then please use this tool http://www.noswearing.com/ to filter your post. Also, don't forget your caps lock on, nobody wants to read a post in all caps.
Leave meaningful posts/comments.
No one word comments. "lol", "ok" and "yes" should be expanded. Explain yourself and clarify your points.
Stay on topic.
I know it's tempting sometimes to hijack a post. If you have something to say that is not related to a thread then just start a new thread. People want their questions answered not to see people ask another question in their thread. It is common courtesy.
Spammers, Spammers, Spammers, kings of Trolls.
At this point if you are using the internet and don't know what spamming is then there is no hope for you. Spamming is sending a message to the largest number of audience by copying and pasting messages into random threads. This will result in an automatic ban,
