Trolling = the act of posting something inflamatory just to wind up the normal contributors on the board

e.g. "I've been learning violin for 3 weeks and am now at Grade 5 standard.. can I put in a late exam entry?" etc etc

So what exactly is the difference between trolling and flaming?
mrbouffant
Flaming is a responsive act.. i.e. someone posts and then you flame them (be critical/abusive etc. about their post/them) in return

Yes, trolling is proactive, flaming is reactive. Very often trolling is done in an attempt to try and start some flaming......as in "light the blue touchpaper and retire...."

Best to just ignore trolls, and then they go back under their bridges and sulk.....fol-de-rol

Good heavens! I pop out for an hour or so, come back and there's dozens of new posts!

Is there any coffee left? I've just had a horrible job interview (more accurately, a horrible interview for a horrible job sad.gif ) and am in need of sustinence.

Is there a jukebox in this cafe? Bring on the music!

Oh poor you, well if it was a horrible job do you want it anyway.

Time to make a fresh pot of coffee I think, and yes I'm sure there MUST be music in here. As is a virtual cafe you can have virtually whatever you want biggrin.gif

Dear Forums Users,

Thought I'd better respond to a few of the questions I've had online rather than by email to individual members.

Trolling, flaming and other such wonderful terms will be covered in the longer version of the forums rules (which will be up by the end of today) But since a lot of you have been asking...

Trolling constitutes one or a series of posts from a user with the deliberate intention of inciting controversy or to cause annoyance or offence to other users. The content of a “troll posting” may consist of:

* A personal attack on other forums users
* An apparently foolish contradiction of common knowledge
* A deliberately offensive insult to readers of a forum or discussion thread
* A broad request for trivial follow-up postings

Best way to cope with a troll is not to respond (that's what they want - attention and a reaction) Contact one of the moderation team and let us deal with it.

Flames – posts that are excessively abusive, attacking, threatening, or aggressive in nature - either provoked or unprovoked. Again, don't allow yourselves to be baited - contact a moderator and we'll extinguish it.

The Warning system is our "gentle nudge" to users who are misbehaving or who have had complaints made about them. You can only see your own warn profile. If you're naughty enough to receive a warning - the warn-o-meter will creep up and you'll be able to see the reason for your warning.

Five warnings and you're banished to the pre-moderation queue for one month. If we keep having to warn you after that you risk having your account permanently suspended.

Check out the rules later and all will be made clear. Hope this answers all your questions.

Christine

Thanks Christine, very useful clarification and looking forward to absorbing all the "rules" in due course. I'm sure the forums will be happier places for a few ground rules.

And also glad to see that the general discussion forum has survived into this brave new world.

Well done on all the changes

Hi Jane - I've noticed you are working on G5 - would this be Theory or Practical?

Is there any coffee left?  I've just had a horrible job interview (more accurately, a horrible interview for a horrible job  sad.gif ) and am in need of sustinence.



Sorry to hear this, Katyjay. sad.gif

Here's hoping a not-so-horrible-interview for a really nice job comes bouncing along soon. smile.gif

Speaking of fast reply, did you know you can have it on all the time, if you change your 'control' settings? Even faster!!
nicki_flute
*cries* The Fast reply button didn't work for me. What does it do?
Is it just you and me in this café now?
uberzoldat
If you click fast reply, a little box appears at the bottom of the posts, and you can type your reply. Under that click add reply to post.

I'm still here!

You need to scroll down after you've pressed the button, and a little box appears.

No, I'm still here - scoffing cake, slurping coffee and slumped exhaustedly down in my chair tongue.gif

Thanks for sympathy, folks

Is there any of that Earl Grey left? (I'd pour myself a glass of something stronger but got very drunk and disgraced myself over the weekend ph34r.gif so am sticking to tea at present).

So gang, are we going to make this the longest thread ever, finally beating Holly Williams?

I'm not sure I like the layout, but I'll probably get used to it in time.

If anyone sees any trolls, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone has the appropriate spells for getting rid of them.

Off now to explore the brand new Viva Woodwind.

Harry Potter's coming out soon! biggrin.gif

(That's really sad I know, but hey!)

YAY HARRY POTTER!!!!




I'll leave quitely
sl123451
so the next harry potter book. Harry has a horrible summer with his family, feels happy when he goes back to hogwarts with ron and hermione, then something mysterious happens involving voldemort, harry ron and hermione try to solve it, get in trouble, but dumbledore saves them from trouble and acknowledges that harry potter was brave.

sorry to be cynical but its all too obvious having read the 1st four and tranched through number 5.
Saxophonist
STOP IT!! You cant critisize harry potter
sl123451
its all too easy....mwahahaha tongue.gif
Saxophonist
CMORRIS HES TROLLING BAN HIM!!!
uberzoldat
I believe he is physically capable of criticising Harry Potter. (And probably will continue to do so too) lol.
Personally, I think the books are a bit of harmless entertainment that take you away from the real world for a few precious hours. Can't be bad.
sl123451
ye i agree its quite good in a harmless way, but i think 7 or 8 books, which they plan to produce is too much. Or at least they could have had a break between book 4 and 5, say. The first 4 books were a great hit, but the others being released too quickly could spoil the series.

ps, whats trolling??? unsure.gif
