Troll Class system by Pzrite (aka Leee)

Troll (First Class) - a person who posts outlandish and/or mean-spirited messages for the sole purpose of causing anger among the other posters, consequently drawing a large amount of attention to him/herself, which is usually the root reason for trolling. This type of troll will very rarely respond directly to logical discussion of the topic at hand.
[Example: Hitler's greatest mistake was he didn't finish the job]

Troll (Second Class) - a person who will post slightly more logical and tame comments than the First Class troll.  Even though it may seem this person has valid opinions for the topic at hand, they are still meant to draw attention, create anger and controversy.  This person will sometimes respond to comments, but only to further inflame the discussion.
[Example: I don't think we went to the moon because.....]

Troll (Third Class) - a person considered to be borderline troll.  While this person will not necessarily post inflammatory comments, they are still meant to illicit a response/reaction/attention to the poster.  While some Third Class Trolls are genuine in their beliefs or statements, they don't always directly answer the responses or if they do, they will continue along the same self-absorbed path, disregarding the replies posted to him.   Third Class Trolls are also capable of posting "normal" messages within a forum that do not seek attention for merely attention's sake.
[Example: I can't seem to find a girlfriend, can someone tell me what to do?]
