Hey Chris, Matt and I were like this like 2 hours ago.

well a troll would be a creature that looks like my ex boyfrind

I am totally indifferent to them..I ignore them..I don't personally know anyone who is..however, I think if you check the percent of positive ratings on AB members' profiles, some are in the low 80's..I even saw one that was 73% positive..perhaps a Troll in disguise? :)

I'll only address the AB-trolls here: those are for me users who are giving a lot of down ratings. I never give down ratings, because I know that people don't like to get down rated. I don’t like it either. I consider that if a submission is not a case for flagging, it is generally better than no submission. So the most that I shall do is not to rate it. Even if I consider some submissions, though neither spam/offensive nor nonsense, as particularly silly, I often observe that many other people don't and give them points. So those submissions must be somehow useful. I can understand very well that many people still want to use down ratings in some extreme cases. But the lower an user's "% + ratings given" is, the more I would consider them as a troll. However, I would also have a look at their level. Low level users could have still given very few ratings and not understood why doing a lot of down ratings is unpopular. I would eventually point at it. Except if I am the target of a specific attack, I usually don't bother much about trolls. And I also don't have any interest to keep track of them. I just forget them and give them a chance to behave better in the future. I don't think that there are a lot of real trolls, anyway; there are rather some people who have a trolling behavior which has usually been triggered by something that you just have done. This could also show me if I have been too provocative sometimes. But I won't let them hinder me to use my freedom of speech.

That horrible creature who terrorised the Billy Goats Gruff...till he got stamped on!!

THE YAHOO ANSWERS STAFF! They come to AB to troll new members in hopes that they switch to YAHOO! IM ON TO THEM >.<

These guys...

The names of all the trolls are kept deep in the bowels of the Castle of Kevonia, locked away in the King's treasury.

Possibly Ronnie James Dio, but he's a good troll.

Uh-oh...me. I am the PINK Troll in the Tutu pinging points at those unjustly D/R'd. :P

I know some forums that came on AB to ask fake/silly/stupid questions and comments only to troll and have some fun; however, I don't know of any specific screen names. I don't pay attention to trolls - it is easier that way.
