1898:"Trolling refers to deliberate and intentional attempts to disrupt the usability of Knowledge (XXG) for its editors, administrators, developers, and other people who work to create content for and help run Knowledge (XXG). Trolling is deliberate violation of the implicit rules of Internet social spaces. It necessarily involves a value judgement made by one user about the value of another's contribution. (Because of this it is considered not to be any more useful than the judgement 'I don't agree with you' by many users, who prefer to focus on behaviors instead of on presumed intent."

consensus rule is that votes don't really count - decisions are accepted by acclamation or not at all. How it originally worked on
Knowledge (XXG) was that if a proposal gets supermajority it becomes policy until it is changed. If not, it's pronounced failed and moot and the results are used to prepare a new proposal that might hope to pass. If the problem is that not enough policy was passed, then it's probably the proposals that weren't good enough. If the problem is that consensus rule doesn't work, then hold a poll on abolishing it.

The term "trolling" has been abused by a few editors to discredit people they dislike or disagree with. Consider the possible responses by a person accused of trolling.

There is a form of law that is not codified. When a community acts as if a thing were a law for a long time, then this common practice begins to have the force of law. This concept of desseutude came about because of trade disputes. However, I think it applies to the things that WP:POINT is trying

At the beginning of the section, it says "Trolling is a deliberate, is an attempt, in bad faith, to disrupt the editing of

Rather it has always seemed that what the troll craved most of all was to provoke as strong and as many responses to their actions/messages as possible. In fact I would dare say that essentially every last troll if given the option to totally destroy the groups they torment would certainly refuse.

This seems unnecessary and oddly specific to a situation you are currently dealing with.

The solution is simple. Don't use the term. Especially if you are emotionally involved. Because the term is subjective, it should only be applied by community agreement among neutral third parties. Ultimately this means the

No idea what you mean by "a paid", but, yes, it depends on whether the account is used only for vandalism, on the nature of the vandalism, on what is vandalised, on the number of occurrences, etc. For example, a tirade of hate speech in an article about an ethnic group is likely to be dealt with far

The term "Trolling" first came into appearance on the Internet in the 90's, in newsgroups. To "Troll" means to systematically visit groups looking for topics, or comments, to which you can reply or add in a negative and antagonistic manner. Typically, a "troller" makes comments on subjects, about

Are they treated as such because they appear on this page? I suspect not. Some of them are violations of rules on other pages, some are violations of ArbCom precedents. If ArbCom precedents are based on "semi-policy" pages, i.e. failed proposals which are likely to be changed, that's probably not

I think it's fine as it is, per Alex. I also think it's a bad idea in general to rewrite policies and/or essays that people follow as guidelines when a major debate is going on. It could easily be perceived as POV, and the nature of language is such that adding words or changing the context even

Again, this is a poor argument. You can't argue somebody who says "A is wrong" by saying "A exists". It's largely not how it works because you changed the way it worked before. What's astonishing in the whole thing is the misunderstanding of consensus rule that this shows. The whole point of
