Is there a line of trolling you don't cross?
 

Now there's a lot on here that sometimes like to casually troll. Me included in the BB times as it would be boring if not. But where do you draw the line, as in what is your cut off point where you think you may be going a bit too far?

For me it's probably if someone is genuinely getting upset by something or the joke it just getting old or whatever. And mine is never really at people directly, it's usually all about winding people up using HM's and making ridiculous threads about HM's (Dirty Deana for example). And if you're getting upset over HM's then you're a bit silly aren't you.

I don't think I'd ever wish a house-mate dead. So that is my cut-off point.

I think that'd be most people's cut off points.

Yeah I think basically when people are getting upset or just not finding the 'jokes' funny any more then it's time to drop it.

I don't like trolls, trolling or being accused of being a troll.

Who are you?

Having a joke around is not trolling.

Troll :idc:

Call it 'Friendly trolling' LOL

Not everyone will agree with this though, I personally think it's not a joke when the person it's directed at is getting genuinely upset about it.

Trolling isn't always about being offensive I don't think, there's lots of different forms of it.

Well yeah, that's the difference though.

Being sarcastic or joking is not trolling. Deliberately trying to provoke a reaction, be it upset or angry is trolling.

I agree, I see it as really offensive to be labelled a troll.

This may be stupid...


But what the ****** is trolling??? :laugh:

wiki

Thanks for clearing that up :laugh:

Trololololol

I'd definitely not sign up to dedicated forums to spread hate as well, don't get people who do that.

True. Some people just have no idea when to let things drop.

Trolling by following an unpopular HM just because they're unpopular and it winds people up that's funny *cough*Novo, locke*cough* I don't really do it myself but I do find it entertaining

I try not to troll (intentionally..) unless i'm really really bored, but i'd never deliberately upset another member (intentionally..)

Oh does that happen on here... I never noticed ;)

:laugh:

I suppose I sometimes take the piss a bit during BB but mainly because I try not to take it too seriously and think it's silly some of stuff people come out with during it and how worked up people get, don't actually intend to upset or offend anyone with anything I post. I do genuinely like the people I support as well, don't just do it because they're hated or because it winds people up

It's not your problem if people get upset over a HM somebody else likes..........imo anyway

Me neither. But i think most people say things in the heat of the moment. So i try not to take it personally. Especially when Big Brother is on. :hugesmile:
