Maybe I'm wrong, but this strikes me as trolling, or, at the very least, flaming.

I must admit that I'm entirely puzzled by the claim that this is either trolling or flaming. None of the three posts you linked meet those definitions in any way, at least as I interpret them.

What I see on reviewing this person's post history is a nation that's been around for half a year in the Farkistan region, and recently decided to visit the forums. S/he has adopted a forum persona based on her name, and is posting in-character despite the fact that General is an OOC forum. Not against the rules. Some of her satirical posts are a little over-the-top, particularly the Jew-baiting, but in context are all clearly satire. You didn't link to any of those, so we'll just leave those out.

What I see is someone who came from a board known for satire (Fark.com) and decided to see how we would react to her style. I don't see a problem with it. It looks fine to me.

They seem to me to be purposefully contrived with the goal of provoking Nalitir, but maybe I'm just overreacting.
