    What is trolling?

    [Inter-club trolling is against the rules. Do it again and you'll be banned. --adam]

    What are you talking about?

    What I said was not offensive, I was trying to start a discussion.

    I have seen much worse comments on this site.

    If it's possible can you private mail me what I said as Iwould like to remind myself of the type of things that are censored.

    troll v.,n. To utter a posting on Usenet designed to attract predictable responses or flames. Derives from the phrase "trolling for newbies"; which in turn comes from mainstream "trolling";, a style of fishing in which one trails bait through a likely spot hoping for a bite.

    I think its when you pop into different sites/forums & post one-liners in manner that makes look like you looking for a reaction i.e. not a reasonable debate.

    You're not allowed go into another club's forum and say "you're rubbish", "ye played crap last week" and such-and-such, which is what you did. It's against the rules. If you don't like the rules, find another forum.
