How does a Ninja tell the difference ...

Between a troll and a new user?

If they can't figure it out, they could always warn the user as a future reference for such behavoir.[/quote]Good assumption, especially for a relatively new member... Basically, don't worry about it until the user makes a mistake, and then judge them accordingly.

  • One has to do so very carefully. Consider tone, phrasing, and specific words that the poster in question uses. Generally, though, if one has to ask if someone is a troll or a new user, they are probably a troll. If not, they can handle a warning.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] SilverBulitt82 Not sure, most of the time I can't tell.[/quote] It's hard, but there are distinctions. One will seem oblivious, and one will act oblivious and then act like a jerk.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] ALI217 is this a joke? Answer : He looks at the join date!!! lolololol.[/quote]^Didn't think about the question posed too carefully. OT: Trolls are obnoxious about their supposed ignorance, new users are timid.

  • Just ban them all. We're isolationist.

  • By the way they post, it can be quite obvious in some cases.
