It seems like the 'net-ese word "troll" is being misused, slightly. Trolling (as almost everyone knows by now) is the posting of an inflammatory or provocative comment for no better reason that to get a rise out of people. Yes, some people do that both in comment and in gallery images, but it's not always the worst thing in the world. I've found some of the obvious troll posts to the OT forum (probably the only appropriate place for them, if there is one at all) to be highly amusing. The ensuing threads offered an opportunity for great discussion and debate. Still, pointless or overly negative trolls and attacks are a waste of bandwidth and certainly non-productive. However, some members and perhaps admins here at Renderosity seem to use "troll" to mean "heated dissent," or perhaps "personal attacks," which are something else. What happened in the unfortunate thread where Nosfiratu was needlessly criticized wasn't trolling. The criticizers thought they had a legitimate point, regardless of whether I or the admins disagreed. What happens in those threads where a certain member who some feel doesn't belong in the Hot20 isn't trolling, either. I agree that too many members are quick to play wannabe admin, cop, or lawyer, but I also have to agree that some debate, within the limits already established by the TOS, is necessary for the general health of this community. I'm sick of the "is it art?" thing, but it's an eternal debate which needs to be hashed out. I assume that Lyrra meant to give a fair forewarning by posting what she did, but it's unclear exactly what she meant. I'm not going to worry about it, though. If I get a "warning" for saying something that someone doesn't like, I'll attempt to discuss the matter in a civil manner. It just seems to me that the TOS already establish the rules of the game. I'm going to read her message to mean "let's make the best of this place by emphasizing the positive, the altruistic, and by eschewing the conspiracy theories and negative agendas." Correct me if I've misunderstood, admins. Peace and respect to you, Lyrra. I'm sorry if your job seems thankless sometimes, but please trust that there are lots of us who appreciate the Rosity staff. Hey, howzabout that Cave Troll in "Fellowship?" I liked that troll. I felt sorry for him, tortured by Orcs and all. Maybe some trolls just need a hug. (collective groan...)
