Soaring Simpson Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Irony is BANNED. And threads don't get cluttered with repeat questions. (Mods- I know this is probably a repeat, sorry, but I can't find the original. Move it/ close it if you like) Sometimes MFC seem to be speaking a whole different English. Sometimes everyone's talking about someone who's unheard of in your country. Sometimes you've been away for a while and need an update. You don't want to interupt the flow? Try posting here. Hopefully someone'll take pity. And if you do post and get an answer, pass it forward and answer the thread now and again yourself. (And if the thread dies a death that's fine, there's obviously not much of a problem) I'll go first: what's a "troll" in MFC speak? I thought I had it figured then it showed up in the Mika's Dad thread and I realised I didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
violet_sky Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I'll go first: what's a "troll" in MFC speak? I thought I had it figured then it showed up in the Mika's Dad thread and I realised I didn't. The trolls referred to in here are internet trolls. This is what Wikipedia says: An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial and irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the intention of provoking other users into an emotional response or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.

xlindee Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I think this is a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soaring Simpson Posted August 17, 2008 Author Share Posted August 17, 2008 Thanks, both of you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
violet_sky Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Thanks, both of you No problem, I'm glad to be of help. I think this thread is a brilliant idea, I'm not even sure if we ever had a similar one. The banned irony is a bit of a problem for me, I had to edit my post before I hit submit , so if it should ever happen, be sure it's no bad intention. Never hesitate to ask if my posts seem strange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sariflor Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Good idea for a thread SS! I will try and help if I see anything pop up, but like VS will probably have to refrain myself from posting in a silly way . I will of course try my best and hopefully succeed, hehe!
