You drop your two cents, stay totally respectful, stick strictly to the topic, and just lay out some cold, hard facts—then suddenly, out of nowhere, you get hit with a massive wave of bans or moderation strikes from the mods 🤷
. Seriously, what even is the criteria here? Can someone please explain what actually qualifies as "trolling" if this is how it works? I’ve taken about 99% of my penalties from these guys just for being right.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_troll

Within the lexicon of the American web, a "troll" refers to an individual who deliberately cultivates friction within digital spaces. By injecting inflammatory, irrelevant, or purposefully provocative commentary into online environments—be they social media threads, message boards, or comment sections—these individuals seek to trigger emotional outbursts from others or derail meaningful conversation. For many, this disruption serves no purpose other than their own idle amusement.
