I suggest that LitNet commence a policy of banning trolling.
Trolling is generally not allowed in good discussion forums, for several reasons, chief among which are:
- It is anti-social.
- It inevitably leads to unpleasantness - something which LitNet is known for not having.
Trolling is the practice of starting provocative threads and posting the same meaningless drivel in response to questions and attempts at discussion.
This differs from a standard disagreement of opinion because in the case of a disagreement, there are two sides, while in trolling, there will be one poster with an absurd or stupid premise that everyone else recognises as barkingly mad.
A tiny amount of judgement might be needed, but I trust the mods here to tell the difference!
