FWIW, I normally just PM the Mods
Or click the little red triangle in the corner of the post.
What’s “trolling the boards”? I want to know what it is because if it is wrong I don’t want to inadvertantly do it. I’m still a newbie here on COTH.Thanks.
Just do a google search for “internet troll” and you’ll have your answer. In short, it’s anyone who deliberately seeks to cause discord on a board.

never heard of the term" internet troll" before. Not real big on the internet except for ebay, USEF, AHJa etc. I kinda wondered if it meant" trolling" for business since business posts/ sale horses aren’t allowed. Thanks for the info
There are a number of COTH’isms that appear on this board - takes a while to learn them, but there is a thread on it in the questions section I think.
I haven’t read this troll’s posts, but in general the term applies - accross the internet, and not exclusively to COTH - to a user who comes onto a BB for personal gain - either to disrupt the board, or to gain emotional support for a pathological need (such as making up personal history to gain attention) or as an employee of an online business which is looking to trick people into visiting their website.
Thanks everybody for your info - Foxtrot you have a great suggestion for me- and Merry Christmas to all!!!
