What do trolls gain from this, apart from negative attention?
What is right about harassing another person?
What does Trolling Accomplish?
Whats wrong with just being a normal person?
Answer these for me.

All trolls are posting meaningless comments, trying to be funny all the time by writin' random shit in Chatbox.They do it, because they want to be popular, or just because they're bored. There is no person on the world that's same like the other person. Everyone has It's own reasons for doing something.

Harrasing another person, well. That depends why are you doing it, is that other person, a "normal" person, or someone who actually deserves comments about him.

I wouldn't call harrasing, when you're trying to explain to another person, what is he doing wrong. Example, Me and MrPeanut420, even he thought that I "harras" him all the time, but that's not true at all. I was just trying to tell him all the time, that he's doing it wrong. And he finally understood his mistakes.

Harrasing is a different thing, and there is no "harrasing" on KWWHunction, maybe via Private Messages, but on forum or Chatbox, nope.

If they love trollin' (posting meaningless comments), and if that makes them happy. They don't care about your opinion.

Internet Troll is a person who always post meaningless comments, threads where they are something that they actually aren't. (e.g. One troll was posting threads on social forum, one day he had HIV, and second day he's depressed, third day cancer, etc... etc, random stuff.)

Trolls are people who reply to topics with comments that don't benefit the thread, are off topic or don't directly relate to the topic. I suppose their a form of spam. Generally these trolls build up a number of warnings and infractions slowly over time on KWWHunction and ultimately it can end in a ban however it does take time. It's sorta a hard banning someone for trolling as to do so you have to put them in the same group as scammers, hackers etc which isn't really justified.

It's a problem but a tricky one to deal with.

Yea it is, really only thing to do is to send them a PM and ask them to try to stay on topic a bit more, almost like a warning. Hopefully that does the trick and works.

A troll cannot exist if you just ignore them

[EsotorisK]

Trolling can never extinct. There are lots of people here too who troll here and there.

Maybe you were the one or maybe I was too somewhere.

Its just like showing yourself to be existing.
Not all trolls are negative some do have a positive effect too.

[snowmanrene]

Without trolling, we would be without all teh lulz.
