As trolling (aka flamebaiting) boils down to trying to get a rise out of others. Whether it's done obviously, subtly, with feigned innocence, or otherwise, it really doesn't matter. At the end of the day you're still being a jackass and thus it's no different than insulting people directly.
Thats......true. Trolling is trolling, despite the severity of it.
In short: yes, trolling is a TOS violation, though the severity varies. The sort of personalities that a competitive game such as demigod attracts though makes strict enforcement a practical impossibility, but we will still look into any specific instances that are reported and act (or not) as appropriate.
Ok, but what happens when somebody sees somebody else, and starts calling "Troll!"? People start calling other people trolls, just because they get pissed off at them. Besides, trolling can be considered anything really.
In the end, it is up to the forum moderators to decide whats trolling and deserves a ban, and what isnt.
And I say this, because some people dont realize that we are all posting on STARDOCK forums, and Stardock can ban someone without any kind of warning.
Btw, I didnt know trolling is a T.O.S. violation, but really, its a very debatable issue, as to what can be considered trolling.
