When I signed up for an online forum recently, I had to agree to the terms and rules. They made me promise:
Not to Troll. Wikipedia definition of trolling: "In Internet terminology, a troll is often someone who comes into an established community such as an online discussion forum, and posts inflammatory, rude, repetitive or offensive messages designed intentionally to annoy or antagonize the existing members or disrupt the flow of discussion, including the personal attack of calling others trolls. Often, trolls assume multiple aliases, or sock puppets."
I had no idea that the danger of internet sock puppets was so real.
