@Montana,
To use an example, If I came into a R&C thread that was talking about its great reviews and said...
"I thought a game had to be good to get a 9."
I would be jumped on for trolling. Correctly so. Where as if I said....
"I don't think this game deserves a 9." it would be opinion....and I would still get jumped on for trolling. Unfairly so.
But I have to agree with DonWii, its just how you state it. If you state as an opinion "I think", "I believe", or "I feel" nobody can call it trolling so long as you keep it reasonable (aka "I think this game is a piece of crap." is probably still trolling.). But when you state something as fact or assume something as fact (aka "I thought a game had to be good to win awards") it is definitely going to elicit response.
Identifying trolling is not always clear cut, and in general is one of the hardest thing a mod has to do. Sometimes a good troll knows how to ride the line very close as to never say anything to outrageous but just outrageous enough to get people going and then they can leave the thread and let other people snowball from there.
