Thanks, Maddog, really, as that helps clear my confusion quite a bit.

Anyways, trolls have certain behaviors that give them away. It is POSSIBLE that they are dangerously stupid instead, but we don't have time for those people either.

Basically, if you would be appalled if someone said what they said to a complete stranger IRL, then it's a good sign they are a troll. One of my "favorites" was "Hey guys, this guy said something disgusting to me in PM" (some prodding for info happened) "He told me he was bisexual." >.> Crap like that is a, uh, good sign of a troll.

Saying they are being harassed after being told off for continuing to do something they were told to stop doing is another sign. Blatant power grabs is a rather subtle one. Basically, it's trying to grab a role despite not even being CLOSE to having the qualifications for such a thing.

But really, it's an instinct, but one that one can acquire over time. And sorry, Boss, but trolls will be a thing from now on, but we are reforming so we can weed them out early and dispose of them.
