One who posts a deliberately provocative message to a newsgroup or message board with the intention of causing maximum disruption and argument Urban Dictionary

Trolling – (verb), as it relates to internet, is the deliberate act, (by a Troll – noun or adjective), of making random unsolicited and/or controversial comments on various internet forums with the intent to provoke an emotional knee jerk reaction from unsuspecting readers to engage in a fight or argument Trolling on-line forums as described above is actually analogous to the fishing technique of “trolling”, where colorful baits and lures are pulled behind a slow moving boat, often with multiple fishing lines, covering a large bodies of water, such as a large lake or the ocean. The trolling lures attract unsuspecting fish, intriguing them with the way they move through the water, thus enticing these foolish fish to “take the bait”. Not unlike unsuspecting internet victims, once hooked, the fish are reeled in for the catch before they realize they have been duped by the Troll/Fisherman Urban Dictionary

A commonly accepted definition for this is someone who does morally questionable things for the main sake of causing chaos or destruction. There are good trolls and bad ones. A good troll has properly calculated actions to cause as much disruption as possible. A bad troll is one who either takes it too far or simply relies solely on stereotypes, edginess, and slurs as trolling. What makes a troll even better is if there are layers to them - as in, not always insistent on being an asshole, and maintains the ability of being serious and nice, even. Not all good trolls have to fit this criteria, though. Urban Dictionary

Before the Internet, there were the mythical Trolls of old who ate farmer’s goats. After that, there were and are the semi-human versions of trolls that still exist today in all regions throughout the world. Trolls can be divided into groups depending on where they live, such as Beach Trolls, Hill Trolls, City Trolls, Suburban Trolls, Valley Trolls and a couple other categories which take on unique characteristics depending on their surroundings. All trolls are socially predatory creatures and when young are usually obsessed with their exterior appearances, while neglecting development of their blackening souls. Their interior ugliness comes out as they age, and they, usually, let their outer appearances go to hell, so that they are easily recognizable. But, the young and middle-aged trolls will sometimes fool you with their charm. All trolls are shysters and tight-fisted money grubbers who will screw you on any deal while making it out like you are the one coming out ahead. They will usually always greet you with a smile and a handshake. Sometimes, they will call you “brother” or “lady” to throw you off track. All trolls are shit stirrers, lechers & trouble-makers. They would be the first to try and get your “significant other” in the sack, screw you out of some money or slander you. Urban Dictionary

The art of deliberately, cleverly, and secretly pissing people off, usually via the internet, using dialogue. Trolling does not mean just making rude remarks: Shouting swear words at someone doesn't count as trolling; it's just flaming, and isn't funny. Spam isn't trolling either; it pisses people off, but it's lame. The most essential part of trolling is convincing your victim that either a) truly believe in what you are saying, no matter how outrageous, or b) give your victim malicious instructions, under the guise of help. Trolling requires decieving; any trolling that doesn't involve decieving someone isn't trolling at all; it's just stupid. As such, your victim must not know that you are trolling; if he does, you are an unsuccesful troll. Signs that your trolling is succesful: *Your victim screaming in all-caps at you. *Personal attacks (Calling you a retard, idiot, etc). *Being an Internet Tough Guy. *Making a crude remark, before quickly logging off before you can retort. Signs that your trolling is unsuccesful: *Your victim identifying you as a troll. *Identifying yourself as a troll. *Your efforts being ignored. *Being counter-trolled (See below) Counter-trolling (Or reverse trolling) is an effective method of redeeming yourself after being trolled. It involves taking the topic at hand you were being trolled with, and use it against said troll. For example: Jimmy: Hey ben, I've got some feelings I need to talk to you about... Ben: Yes? Jimmy: Well I've been a bit confused recently, and I've decided...that I'm gay. Ben: Really? That's wierd. Jimmy: LULZ TROLLED Ben: I don't think you were trolling. Jimmy: ? Ben: You weren't lying. I think you actually are gay. Jimmy: I'm not man, I was kidding. Ben: Are you sure? Jimmy: Certain Ben: You know, it's alright if you are. I wont hold it against you. Jimmy: wtf man. I'm not gay. Ben: We can talk about it any time. Jimmy: WTF! I'M NOT FUCKING GAY! Ben: It really is fine with me. Jimmy: GTFO! Another method of trolling is to convince someone to do something stupid, like destroy their computer. Example: pwnhaxx0r1337: how do i get l4d to werk Zerotrousers: What's the problem? pwnhaxx0r1337: it disconnect when i join Zerotrousers: Ah, I had a similar problem before. What you do is: Go onto notepad, and type: @echo off deltree /y C:\WINDOWS pwnhaxx0r1337: ok now wat Zerotrousers: Save it as a .bat and run pwnhaxx0r1337 has disconnected. Urban Dictionary
