What are they? I know that this must be a very noob question, but I have only been on chess.com for about 1 month and I’m not sure what trolls are.

I would also offer for the youth that trolls are super happy upbeat cloth dolls that spend their time singing, dancing, and hugging. The movie is actually cute regardless of having kids or little siblings (the intended target of the movie)

Ok.

Trolls are people who are mean on the internet. That's about it.

There are other websites in which the phrase "troll" is held, too.

Trolls truly enjoy making you feel bad. To quote the authors once more (because this is a truly quotable article): "Both trolls and sadists feel sadistic glee at the distress of others. Sadists just want to have fun ... and the Internet is their playground!"

Understood, but it only takes 1 person to get "offended" over something, and the trolls have get what they wanted.

Can someone please give me a real concise answer? You all know what I am talking about. I thought that these forums are where you can ask questions! Thanks for the links as well, but they didn’t work so maybe no thanks. What are chess.com trolls, and are there any examples?
cyboo
And I am not a troll! I’m a human! And I’m not a human troll! I think...unless trolls on chess.com are people who premove all the time...which I don’t but I know a few who do.
cyboo
I need to know.
cyboo
Well, actually, I want to know so that I won’t be one and thus won’t be banned from chess.com. I love chess.com.

Staff should check the OP's I.P. to make sure we're not dealing with 2Q.meh.png
