I'm going to make one thing perfectly, blatantly clear in this post: any and all posts made purely with the intention of aggravating other users, upsetting people, causing a nuisance, or being a pain in the rump for the Administrators or Moderators of this forum, will be met with a very firm hand and generally not tolerated at all.
The Community Rules clearly state:
Absolutely no indication of "trolling" falls into any of this, and is thereby considered breaking the rules.
This is a simple reminder of why anyone doing this will be punished for it; it is a clear and blatant violation of both the rules and common decency, and only for the sake of a cheap, immature giggle on behalf of the poster. If you consider "trolling" to be a positive thing, you are wrong.

Quote:Before posting a new reply in a thread, ask yourself: does my reply contribute to this conversation in any way? If it does, go ahead and post it. If not, don't, or you could get in trouble.
If you're making a post, it should have some content. Meaningless posts aren't OK, nor are one-liners like, "cool!" "LOL" etc. Images are also one-liners. Essentially, keep this in mind: only post if you have something to say.
This is a message board, not a chat room. Posting here is a group activity and you shouldn't be bouncing posts back and forth with another user. Use Private Messages for that.
Be polite to other members; treat members here how you would like to be treated.
