Is that an admission of trolling? ---

Not everyone we disagree with is a troll. And that was a terrible gotcha attempt. ---

Pedro is trolling the CK thread. He flits from post to post seeking attention and contributing nothing. Perhaps that is acceptable in the pit. ---

Technically “acceptable” or no, it’s absolutely ruined that thread. Obviously, this can’t be allowed. If it allowed under current rules, those rules must change, pronto. ---

I don’t follow that thread, but I think in general the rules are like this: the Pit rules are much more lenient regarding trolling, but _extreme_ trolling still is a warnable offense. ---

Functional trolldar has never been a strong suit of most posters here. ---

I’m curious, for those of you that think he is such an obvious troll, why hasn’t Pedro been banned? I’d remind everyone that arguing an unpopular opinion on this board is not trolling, something the mods, apparently, haven’t reminded us of enough. I am thrilled with the idea of an ex post facto ‘Pedro’s Rule’! We haven’t had a 1,000 post ATMB thread about an outrageous rule change in years. Snuggly Puppy! ---

Because he hasn’t posted anything that the mods see as clear trolling. Despite my efforts to get him to cross that line. ---

I never found disagreement a problem. He substitutes personal insult for a response. But, hey, if that’s your bar, you’re the boss - and it is the pit. ---

I’m not the boss in the Pit, but it is allowed in the pit. **Miller** , who is the boss here, has reviewed a lot of flags in that thread for that user. In my opinion, if he posting like that anywhere else he would of been warned and if he continued, suspended. But he is containing it to the pit. He is a long time poster with a clean record until recently.
