Trolls should be banned from chess.com

Reading the words of a troll is like slowing down to check out a car 🚙 🚘 accident. You know you REALLY shouldn’t look 👁 but somehow, you can’t help yourself!  😧Pegusu, Lifelong Trollcist 

I do troll from time to time but only when my opponent plays boring crap like the Exchange French, the London, or 2.e3 systems. Sick and tired of them playing for a draw. 

Learn to play positionally then, and to outplay them.

Does underpromoting when you know ur winning anyways count as a troll? If so, I am a troll

woolly isn't a troll woolly is a cat
you know it by that cats are smaller and more fluffy... 

It counts as being faithful to your first queen.. I don't know what people don't like about that..

GorbaChocolate got banned!

Coolout was ok...just very longwinded and overly-verbose; his many arguments went around in circles. If Chess.com was the U.S. Congress, and the Forums were the legislature trying to pass a law/bill/regulation, etc., then essentially Coolout would be a "filibusterer"; a filibuster being a situation where a congressman literally talks to death a legislative action. This is a metaphor describing how Coolout so very often "talked to death" any point of debate in a given Forum topic, such as the infamous "Luck in Chess" posts...

Who was Coolout?

I do it at the end usually when they are dead lost. I don't want instant karma happening. I did struggle a lot against 1.d4 Sidelines so I read a GM Repertoire book on how to deal with them and I've been having a positive win streak against them. 

Even though the offical rule is "No-Naming-And-Shaming", nevertheless I've actually noticed a LOT of that here lately in the Forums, without the usual Moderator intervention-----you know, when a post has the green ink reading "edited by mod.", followed by the harangue about not doing any naming/shaming. So I wonder if this rule had now become a "blue law"...(meaning a law is still technically on the books, but one which is no longer actually enforced)...

It's all a bit silly now,whatever the original meaning of the word was, it has now become amongst other things, an insult.

So if someone does not like you, what you say, or some of your viewpoints, you are simply called a troll.

If you veer off the main topic, even for good reasons , likewise.

There are many on here who simply prefer to make harmless funny comments, no intent other than that, and yet they get called "trolls" also.

It is also seen in the main as a negative activity, trolling that is, but what if it amuses people and is devoid of any unpleasantness, is that a bad thing ?

The word is now rather meaningless and unhelpful, but that will not stop some using it as above will it ?

Troll simply means a joker who has fun provoking clash and posting stupid messages to be fed (because he is addicted to social networks and it is more easy to answer to stupid messages) 

Now the problem of this term is the amalgam very often made with cybercriminal and besides as character of fiction which is given for a troll it is the Joker. The Joker is not just a joker, he commits and causes to be committed criminal acts, he is first and foremost a criminal.

When a person called troll or not commits malicious acts such as cyber-harassment leading to suicides, death threats, uses the deepfake to humiliate or harm a person etc. he is above all a cybercriminal.

Soon all fun will be banned.
