How can you tell what a "troll post" is? What are they?

An example on YT would be someone saying they want to breed their teacup female to a 10 lb male or something like that. Anything to make people mad.

Another example is when people say they aren't going to spay/neuter their yorkie because it's bad for them. People have very strong opinions about this and it always just ends in an arguement. So that would be another example of a troll post.

Trolls take lots of forms on the net - there are people who cruise forums just to put up crazy stuff that make no sense..... and there are those who purposely post touchy subjects over and over knowing full well what will happen. Their posts are geared to drama & to incite others. I've seen that kind of person firsthand and it's pretty pitiful.

I guess in three years I've seen it ALL by now lol.... A little drama never hurts a site but ALOT of drama can.

The Tech sites are notorious for having problems with trolls.....and I can remember a COPD forum for the terminally ill having a problem - a bunch of kids got on and posted a bunch of horrible stuff - that site had to close down..... can you imagine making fun of people who are seriously ill ???

I didn't realize "trolls" were so notorious... I can't believe they do it just to cause trouble. Do they stick around and make sure trouble started? AND the audacity to do that on a site for the terminally ill. That is just sick!

I also can't believe that I'm that dumb and didn't know anything about these trolls. Glad I know now!
