trolls are real, okay? light trolls who troll without rudness or annoyingness are ok, but the rude and mean ones aren't

So now there are light trolls and heavy trolls and certain types of trolling are OK? As you grow and learn more, you will change your mind on many things many times. Remember the world isn't always the way you want or expect it to be and always changing.  Hence the need for parental guidance for now at least. Not that they'll know much better... 

So, daddy bunny tonight then is it ?

Well some body/bunny's got to do it.

I think that trolls are very similar to kleptomaniacs, they can't help themselves. They might even believe that they are funny or smart  lol.

You posted a meme/giff that said the f word.

Ok, let me get this straight, we got @ChessTitan006 who is helping the chess.com community to strive because to be against the cause of trolling which upsets people. But we have people trying to make that worse by bullying, harassing, and things that could hurt people's feelings. So I implore you guys to stop, and give everyone some room for agreement. It does not matter who you are, or what you do, just give everyone some peace and patience for everyone to stay on the same page and move on. Do I make this clear?

Avatar of JerryJuggernaut

i might have to bring a moderator in here. what so u think he or she will think about this forum?

Avatar of Zycirline

The mods are already looking. If they don't see anything then that means nothing was wrong

 

Avatar of JerryJuggernaut

you may think that, snudoo, but remember, mods aren't all powerful. they can't check all the forums. if they had been here, tons of people would have gotten muted or banned already

I didn't know what was a troll and discovered the hard way. They ruined a challenge I was doing in a forum. Anyways nobody believed in the challenge and it was better not to keep going with it (even though it was beneficial for my training), but it left a bitter taste in the mouth. 

They are insulting, unrespectful, immature, etc. Honestly I think they have a mental and personality problem, so I pitied them after all. But I don't think they should be here wasting people's time and lowering the quality of the forums. Maybe they should be allowed only in special joke forums, not in the serious ones.
