As a troll, Lily is not permitted to enter any thread slapped with the label of "TFT."

hmm.

no, lily is not a troll.
yeah, she is a racist, nosy bigot, but not a troll...

One of the most irrational of all the conventions of modern society is the one to the effect that religious opinions should be respected....That they should have this immunity is an outrage. There is nothing in religious ideas, as a class, to lift them above other ideas. On the contrary, they are always dubious and often quite silly.

Au contraire.

TROLL - One who posts a deliberately provocative message to a newsgroup or message board with the intention of causing maximum disruption and argument.

Quote:
2.) One who purposely and deliberately (that purpose usually being self-amusement) starts an argument in a manner which attacks others on a forum without in any way listening to the arguments proposed by his or her peers. He will spark of such an argument via the use of ad hominem attacks (i.e. 'you're nothing but a fanboy' is a popular phrase) with no substance or relevence to back them up as well as straw man arguments, which he uses to simply avoid addressing the essence of the issue.

See, this is why I think TFTs are going to be a problem.

ADT,
In answer to your question about who decides what constitutes a troll in a TFT thread, it comes down to the thread originator.

So, if you have a TFT thread, and you want Lily to participate, you just let the mods know.

That was my understanding.

Nobody uses this feature (except me ) so it's a moot point anyways, adt's irrational views on Lily notwithstanding.
