Remove the word 'Trolling' #43

Closed dsp closed 3 years ago

dsp commented 8 years ago

I feel the word 'trolling' is not clear enough defined in modern language. Multiple things can be mistaken for trolling while they are meant as comments or a grain of sarcasm. I can see comments taken for trolling by someone very easily when they disagree. I would encourage us to remove the word as I think "Insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks" defines the boundaries much more clearly.

Instead of removing it, IMO, it should be define as to what we mean by it. Want to give that a try?

I think one cannot really define it clearly enough that it can't be easily misunderstood or abused. I honestly think the rest of the description is already good enough.
