A Definition of "Forum Troll" just in case you are not sure.......

[Ray-Mo.]

A "Forum Troll" is a person who posts outrageous message to provoke people to respond. The Forum Troll delights in sowing discord within a forum. A troll is someone who inspires flaming rhetoric, someone who is deliberately controvertial, baiting and pulling people into a "flaming" discussion. Flaming discussions usually end with name calling, a flame war and at best a locked thread or in extreme cases a deleted thread.

Are You Sure They Are Trolls?
One of the most common explanations for the name Forum Troll could be that it was taken from the Troll in Norwegian folklore; a slow, stupid and often rabble-rousing ogre.

Recently, the term forum troll has developed into an excuse for using Master Suppression Techniques on opponents in forum disputes. By calling someone a forum troll, you give yourself and others a reason to ignore, mock, blame and withhold information from your opponent, despite the fact that the person has done nothing wrong.

Many people have been forced into exile from the a forum Community simply because they have been falsely accused of forum trolling.

Before jumping to conclusions, and accusing someone of being a forum troll, be sure to check your facts!

Wow! I come here to read about Minelabs new benchmark unit. In the few posts I read, far too many people are too full of themselves. Anybody who may have reason to be concerned with this new "yet to be released" unit gets blasted as a troll from every Minelab junkie here. This is sad at best. It's just too bad nobody has any respect on here anymore. Lighten up people. No unit is perfect and they all have faults. This is supposed to be fun... well, it ain't when all you read is people being labeled a troll for asking legitimate questions. This used to be a great site to get answers from the "seasoned vets" in the hobby.

Would love to hunt with you but I couldn't take you to any good spots. Ray is the master at that and he blindfolds me when we get in his car so even I don't know where they are. Maybe if we get close enough I may recognize a landmark or two if we get lucky.

Shhhhh.... don't tell Ray but your new detector has a GPS on it! Mark your waypoints and share here on the forums when Ray shows you the hotspots!
