Can anyone please help me by clarifying the accurate definition of the Online Gaming Term: "Troll"?

I am not Opening a debate. I am not intentionally defining an ounce of inconsiderate or lack of intelligence. I want to receive clarification in regards to the Riot definition of Troll: the definition of troll as could be reviewed around Tribunal Discussions for the decisions which could be reportable. ~{Take a moment and glance, if too long with the scroll, then please read the bottom line thought before the sentence with my online name with the question.}

To help take any spotlight of this discussion subject manner off of any one person claiming ("...so Troll"... or beautiful adjectives describing the level of Troll)... I am going to relate a scenario to some people here.

When the video games at home welcomed a variance to the Atari(c) controls, there was a less gaming ability I owned. With working a hand eye coordination level from an early childhood concussion, please excuse me for continuing to be a gamer to this day in having no experience in defeating Mario, or Final Fantasy. I perform better playing video games with the ability coordinating with a desktop, laptop, or computer with mouse and keyboard. Possibly as connected to my degree in Speech Communications where we analyze the communication process, I am analyzing my video gaming skills. Possibly my brain perceives no practicality or logic in the skill of the controls with playing much of the game with my thumbs while leaving out the rest of my fingers. Consider we do not drive the car with thumbs only. I would need a steering wheel and maybe a control panel if I had to drive a race car as standard.

I own video game habits I learned in the arcade as more of diving hard to be the death decoy for my teammates older brother and his friends, since, if I am killed then maybe I save my teammates from the death, or the death tactics onto me could be reviewed in learning the death moves of the enemy. Is trolling like sandbagging holding back the level of performance as top notch to play down to a level aiding those people to enhance their game, or to hold back the skills until after level 6 then kick more momentum in winning the game as controlling the winning ability function-ability? I ask because when I asked another person I am thinking I was not told the accurate definition of Troll, which wouldn't this lack of Truth be a form of Trolling? Providing incorrect information only to help the performance of their online gaming ability.

I have a level of have been told, "I am the vacuum cleaner for the game." Not a prude, only not wanting to sound the same as those people as to the metaphor I would rather live with as a tool, then at least somehow I am still useful. Yup! Another form of bullying from my older brother in the "Tool" nickname he nourishes me with the loving sentiments. Though when calling out people there is a level of maybe have learned through the term of Trolling themselves, so then maybe there is the, takes one to know one; especially if the ability of calling out trolling exists.

There are I am sure some people such as myself, probably trying to better their game, though maybe started well behind the majority of the online gaming population. So, in a turn stall discussion of trolling, wonder the amount of time when the "Troll" caller outer of the term "Troll" in a game might actually be the troll in the game and calls out "Troll" to help remove the spotlight of the truth in regards to their actual gaming ability, and not the person playing the game at a lower skill level? However, time has allowed the person to up the online gaming level. As the "Troll" discussion then turns into:

<Team Morale/ Teamwork/ Team Patience> Patience inside of the learning process is more solid with encompassing all directions of the online game inside of owning the depths of defining online gaming attributes more Glorious than the Spotlight Magnifier sort of Online video gaming skills bestowed from those people illustrating at times a lesser quality of the actual need in calling out the truth inside of online video games. The previous sentence is more in sorting those more mean bullying communication styles sorts of people, and those trying to be a tough solid teammate calling out similar as an official in baseball. Though the Official in baseball is listened to more when sorting out conflicts live in the games. More because the role is defined rather than the person being paid to do so.

Sounds brutal as a post? Brutal is the sound when subjected to Online gaming Bullying with any sort of labeling, or name calling. Fact in the actual behavior exists in trends of communication actions already created inside of the realm of online video gaming. Maybe if there was more patience inside of time then, maybe there might be a better video online gaming climate inside of the video online gaming environment.

So, please enlighten my online video game level with assistance in clarifying the accurate definition of Troll? Please

No offense, but your post makes no sense. My head hurts just from reading the first paragraph. If you want an actual answer or conversation, shorten your post and only include necessary points you wish to make. Your attempt at sounding intellectual and flowery just makes your post non-sensical. That being said:

My definition of a troll is a person that intentionally attempts to ruin the experience of others.

First off, for someone who claims to be majoring in Speech Communications, your writing style is incredibly poor. You ramble on and on about irrelevant things, and fail to use punctuation correctly.

Secondly, trolling is a term that comes from fishing. When someone trolls, they move their boat very slowly through the water while trailing a lure behind. The goal is to entice the fish to bite. The internet troll is similar. They offer a bait to get a reaction. It is the reaction that motivates them to do what they do. They often masquerade the bait as being genuine, when it does not truly represent their real point of view.

A griefer is different than a troll although they have similarities. A griefer simply wants to ruin someone else's experience.

I guess someone who intentionally tries to annoy/harass others with attention/acknowledgement as their main goal. Whoever has trolled you has definitely succeeded. They want the reaction you've shown in this post.

Made, read, and reviewed a few comments already. This post has served the initial purpose. There should be no more comments than the few I already made yesterday. Should there have been any feelings compromised, or intelligence insulted, then please excuse me. For my initial intention of this post was to learn of the definition of Troll.

Thank you for the feedback in regards towards the punctuation or the sentences flowage ability. There is no reason I need to explain my communication style or mannerisms to anyone. I am not the English Teacher in here trying to make valid points in consideration to the exact presentation before a community of those which could learn correctly or incorrectly from me. For that specific, in regards to teaching; when reading a run along long sentence I have created, please read along. I am not here to explain the details of my reasons for those manners with sentences against the sentence structuring lessons we might learn in school.

This post is complete in my perspective. However, should there be a need to debate with someone such as myself in along another discussion, then please invite me as in a reply to this post specifically with the main subject line. Though only if the mutual understanding could be friendly to share in another debate.

There might have been some people not happy with any one of my replies to their comments. This post discussing Troll, has allowed more than one person to be made an example of, or brought to the front line inside of the definition timeframe of defining Troll in a boards forum discussion. Thank you for the ability to take the social public damage we all have shared in the discussion of illustrating or presenting the definition of Troll to anyone person should they take the time to read all of these posts, one, or a few. A sense of Teamwork when maybe a cohesion level of Challengers might coordinate best with our personalities. Thank you for your time. Game on!

Thank you for the feedback. Thank you for taking the time to share some definitions of Trolling. Please take note I did provide an outlet for a person to skip to the bottom in case there might have been a need.

With the pleasantries aside, the definition of Trolling, THUS, also includes the person inflicting the Trolling from when they whistleblower out the claim of Trolling; since one persons level of unpleasantness might be another persons level of AWESOME or Success. Trolling then is defined on both sides of the communication process where Trolling is being defined. However, there might be a time when the claim is a wrong claim and only an Online Video Gaming tactic to diminish a level of Teamwork. Which, might prove I am not Trolling the majority of times when people inflict a level of Team Morale deconstruction comments only to take people out of their Online Gaming Frame of Mind. HENCE another way to throw the game into inadequate Online Video Game Play to help support some of those people trying to earn a win in twenty minutes or with a Surrender at Twenty minutes only to amp up the amount of most games played in the designated time frame they might be allowed to play League Of Legends.

Thank you for your opinions, which the feedback and answers to my posts are ever going to be with the attitude communicated in the second post. From: FuryofThornsRedo

There are large amounts of posts trying to communicate a goal in trying to place the entire League of Legends Community on the same page. So: How in the living definitions of leadership, seniority, Online Video Game Performance could there ever be perfection or accuracy with Leadership in Accordance with Sportsmanlike Conduct; if there is refusal in assistance with trying to communicate a definition of Trolling to place all people taking the time to play League of Legends on the Same Page?

The League Of Legends Tutorial does not teach of describe Trolling. If Trolling is so annoying, why not have Trolling defined and stipulated as what not to do to help the rest of the League Of Legends Community receive more favorable odds in Online Video Game Enjoyment probabilities?

Must not be an important enough term to coordinate any sense of attention to my game level of skill, since the video online game term definition of Troll is, to this very day, omitted from any accurate credible Dictionary.

The level if intellect and intelligence in defining a term of a human beings skill ability to manipulate air in typing with a keyboard while also coordinating the functions of a mouse for a computer concludes the capacity of the facility communication people own as the human beings they are. Sounds harsh, so would the majority of Team Morale Destruction with verbal painful online with a computer verbal communication skills. Thank you for allowing me to illustrate a level of Video Online Gaming Learning Agility Comprehension and maybe the lack of attention with the lack of interest to this post, in case my comment is the only comment. Thank you as I am grateful with having the outlet of sharing my opinions inside of this discussion.

Would I be entitled to share my opinion in a post in regards to Trolling inside of asking clarification of the term Trolling? If some people own the conclusion I should not be allowed to post my opinion then, the one-sided lopsided communication skills could be made known League wide as another form of reporting with posting the display of Sportsmanlike Conduct. The effort to read my post in the full length might be unpleasant to read, though I never called anyone out to inflict a level of unpleasant Trolling attitude.

This post might sound strong. The post is not constructed to place any one taking the time to clarify answers to help defined a sense of Trolling from those helping me to know the term Trolling and to be on the same page. With some of the comments posted below and before this one, I took the time to place myself in the spotlight and to share the capacity of the term Trolling. Specifically in how the Term Trolling could be defined on the other side of the offense when the claim of Trolling is called out inside of games. Not a warning, or a teaching lesson. More of a post to explore the thought inside of the definition of Trolling.

I am ok with online video game banter. I oppose when the attitudes of teammates or my teams morale is Compromised and the Integrity of Sportsmanlike Conduct is devalued. This post is more of a series of informative posts. I affirm no pain feelings to the answers shared. Could sound differently, though I will defend where I can those League of Legends Gamers and help to inform them where I can.

Really want to call a claim of Trolling due to one's ability? Why then is the possibility allowed for those more seasoned inside of League of Legends to be qualified from their lessons of "Noobish" learning agilities, though those in the midst of learning League of Legends and maybe better at lower levels of game play, why Troll out the Game Banter and diminish any sense of being an Online Video Gamer Role Model? As part of any learning process there is new information to be learned. I confidently Stand and would share Online Video Game exchanges in Accordance with League of Legends and Riot Eula and Disclaimer legally bound, with any "Noob" sort of person, since, I would never try to deny the learning process for any one person.

When calling or Trolling, try not to dismiss the Highlighted Effort inside of the Game Spotlight when reporting Trolling. I am not the expert. I am an expert with communication process actions and behaviors. The stimuli need to call out Trolling directly places the Official Trolling Qualifying "Caller Outer" as instigating Unsportsmanlike Conduct and instigating Negative Game Attitudes. Beyond opinions here, as I qualify facts from online video gamers decisions to call out Trolling. No one person enjoys the Trolling conversation or the demeaning quality of the game or Team Morale. Please be cautious: Diana Soraka , I could never support All people Truthfully or with the healed paths to the stars, considering the depleted level of motivation to perform the best we can. Especially, when we try to try our best in playing Online Video Games. As I usually try to man these two Champions, though there are others I will not share.

I am optimistic and can usually see the other sides of communication aspects or trends of thoughts, or I can see the other side of the coin inside of a conversation. If there might ever be a person needing to sort some communication thoughts I would like to try to help if I could.

Took extra time to explain, even when a person could read and be unhappy. My reason is because I care! From: FuryofThornsRedo
