Well?

That really doesn't look like trolling.

More of an attempt to poke fun.

Keep in mind the game was designed around a book that did not deal with fantasy.

There's nothing wrong with introducing it but you shouldn't get too upset over a few small snarky comments.

Now if he was calling you a wanker for doing it; then you would have a real reason.

As per Fris's definition:

Trolling: Posts that are made with the aim of angering people. (like 'ALL JEWS ARE [insert vile comment here]' for example). While Trolls often make these posts strictly in an attempt to provoke negative comment, it is still trolling even if you actually hold those beliefs. Intent is difficult to prove over the internet, so mods will work under their best assumptions.

Note that posts of opinions you disagree with does not automatically equate with trolling. Disagreements are expected, as long as they are done in a civil manner. Max Barry has made it clear that he welcomes all opinions in civil debate, even those that are highly unpopular or minority-held. Make your case without the invective, if you want to avoid banishment as a Troll.

Trolling is also is used to refer to making obviously silly topics that people nonetheless will reply to, despite all common sense. Don't feed the trolls.

First off, you have got it wrong. I didn't make that RPG, I was just going to sign up for it.

Second off, it is trolling. Rather it was an attempt to poke fun or not. It was deliberate mockery of the players concept and rules. The players obviously didn't want to part pate in that RP, so they should have just moved along. There was no reason for them to make their "snarky comments". So, even if they weren't trolling, they were spamming.

And as for you pulling Fris's definition of trolling up, I'm pretty sure any "All Jews are ____!" comment could be posted in good fun. Still doesn't mean it's not offensive, nor trollish.

Well how about the advice from a mod of the old 3DO (ever hear of the might and magic series?) boards?

Sometimes ignoring them is the best policy. Especially, when it's a "drive by" with a "me too" post.

However, if they make multiple posts, then you have a good complaint.
