A forum troll is someone who actively watches a forum. Not to be confused with a lurker, or just a forum frequenter, the troll annoys, pesters, and generally insults any thread they open.
-- Interweb : "My dad called me yesterday and said that the house was up for sale and I have to move and now I won't have any friends and I'm so sad I don't even know how to use punctuation it's insane."
-- Forum Troll : "I've become dumber just by reading this. Removing you from the genepool would not only be helpful to society, but would be praised in songs for generations."

User: I think his policies are corrupt and the only reason he remains in office is because of his financial bribes and support requests to other branches of the government. What about you guys?

Trolls are people who want to get on your nerves. They will usually lurk around the forums and wait for an opportunity to annoy or attack a user. The best way to ignore a troll is not to flame back, but to report and move on. Trolls are no good and should be exiled.
Example of such trolls are Wintersfire, Vent etc.. If you come across these, but ignore and move on.
If you're new to Basil, wintersfire shouldn't be a problem. Vent is the real troll.
Example:
Forum User: How can I get a GF?
Forum Troll: You should first get a life, and get off the computer.

5.
Somebody who patrols an interweb forum or message board and uses childish tactics and droll wit. An absolute detriment to the intelegence to an internet group or society as a whole.
Quote Being the ultimate epitome of the human race that I am, I have a hard time trying to comprehend WHY men, born superior, with testlcles and testosterone would want anything to do with a female way of life. It simply doesn't make sense. Why would a MAN want to degrade himself by playing as a WOMAN?? -Zaknafeinn (SB official Forum Troll)
