Zaga's Rules of Trolling
Rule #1 - Don't try too hard - Never make it look like you are going out of your way to troll. It is best to slide it into normal conversations. Posters are more likely to take the bait if you do this.
Rule #2 - Remember English class - You can only be taken seriously if you use correct punctuation, capitalization and spelling. Try typing your posts out in Microsoft Word and use the spelling/grammar check if you struggle with this.
Rule #3 - Never break the rules - You can't be a serious troll if you're banned. A true troll will only provoke others to break rules and never do anything worthy of an infraction.
Rule #4 - Study up or shut up - Nothing looks worse than when a troll goes out on a limb to talk trash and gets put in their place. Let's say you provoke a particular fan-base and they rout your team on Monday Night Football: doesn't that hang a dark cloud over your trolling? See what I did there?
Rule #5 - Know when to quit - You can look foolish quickly if you don't know when to stop. Some more experienced posters can easily thwart your attempts to troll, especially if you don't pick and choose your battles. Don't push the issue with these posters!
Rule #6 - Start out by picking on Strikeout King - He can accidentally post "2+2=5" and will argue that he is right and you are wrong. He is an easy target for trolls
