What is wrong with being a troll? Megaman2 explains.

• They bring life to the forums, their threads tend to be controversial which creates debate. Which leads to community participation. These threads tend to create huge discussion unfortunately some get out of hand but most have a satisfactory conclusion.

You can create threads with discussion without being stupid about it. Post a valid question, and you will see valid responses. Troll threads usually end up discussing something we have already discussed many times over.

• They are misunderstood. They defend their console of choice with grace, honour and respect. They always seek to maintain the reputation of their console and always interact with their fellow gamer.

Grace, honour and respect? Trolls are dishonouring every honest gamer, by staying blind to reality and flaws in their console of choice. They may have good intentions, but being ignorant about their own case only helps the opposition, and not themselfs.

• They bring entertainment to the forums. As outrageous as their predictions or posts maybe one cannot fault them for the entertainment they bring.

Entertainment? If you consider a retarded kid trying to read a book entertaining, then yes... I don't.

• Their controversial threads require us to prove them wrong, they challenge the community to outsmart them, which is not easy

Trolls are the scum of the community, if you are smart then you are most likely not trolling, perhaps clever flaming, but no more.

This forum is at its best when there are no trolls around. It means there is room for having fun without resorting to degrading comments.
