Trolling is against Pit rules too, if you can show they are “posting inflammatory comments solely to get a rise out of people”.

> By trolling, we mean posting of inflammatory comments solely to get a rise out of people. If we feel your primary goal as a poster is to make people mad, you’ll quickly find yourself on the road to banning. On the flip side, the fact that a poster consistently makes you mad doesn’t automatically make them a troll.

ETA:

**Itsokaytohategoogle** made a number of inflammatory posts that seem designed solely to get a rise out of people, but from what I can tell these are all responses to other posters who flamed him/her first. I’m not convinced the OPs were trolling vs just a person steeped in misinformation, but it’s a distinct possibility. I only read the one topic though, because… lazy. If most posts are inflammatory on balance - I didn’t count - the precedent is ban for trolling _a la_ **Huey\_Freeman** (unless I misremember reading about that one).

I did report the misgendering of **Susan**.
