Would this be trolling?

I'm getting indescribeably annoyed with recruiters always spamming my regions, and considering adding a half in jest line to some of their factbook entries. Would "our favorite food is regional recruiters/regional message board spammers make a tasty snack" (yes Manmen's canninbalism threads are getting to me) type addition be:

a. acceptable
b. legal but in bad taste
c. trolling
or
d. please do, even the mods hate message board spammers

:?:

Edit:ed my horrendous grammer, which may need even more edits in the morning.

No, that's fine. Trolling is trying to make people mad by saying something, then trying to make them flame by drawing comments out of them.

What you said is not trolling, your ok.

What you said is not trolling, your ok.Thanks Bas, but I would like a mod's input and, if it is legal, whether it is a or c (or d, though that is unlikely methinks, since mods can just remove the messages and have done with it)

Hmm...being as recruitment spam is illegal, I really dont see too much harm in allowing you to post something such as that. Remember though, it needs to remain tasteful and not target a specific person/recruiter

Thanks Neut.

And There we have the official ruling as well (I now no longer need to start my recruitment spam reports with something to the effect of "If unsolicited recruitment messages on player created regional message boards is legal then disregard the following report")
