What is "trolling"?

[k4far]

I will be making a thread about slavery in video game I can assure you it will be labeled as "controversial", "offensive" and end up getting closed because some people will be "uneasy" about it.

Then they're a bad moderator and should be removed from their role. You seem to be implying that this is happening (that's the impression I get anyway) but unless you have evidence that this is actually happening then there is no point in discussing hypotheticals.

I have evidence of this forum being moderated once a day and moderator not quoting the code of conduct to show what was wrong just doing general close this "controversial" thing lmao.

But what if moderator is easily offended and just classifies things he does not like as "trolling".

Posting something controversial with the intention of provoking a negative reaction.

You should not be controlled by people who are easily offended, react badly to "controversy" what is the point of free speech or forum if people who do not like some things can break the discussion by saying it's offending them. In that situation the ones offended should get the hell out of the internet. This is not a safe space from controversy you will have a lot of it as people will discuss politics within the games you will not avoid it. Do not add layers of protections to your fragile butts jizz.

Everything something writes and that you dont like is classified as trolling nowadays.

But what if moderator is easily offended and just classifies things he does not like as "trolling". Even if they are not in violation with other rules?

As far as forums go... Posting with the intentional motive to make someone or a potential group angry. Emphasis on the "international" part.

I don't think an international post likely to rile up people matters as much as an intentional one.
