veganism: Does your belief relate in any way to how you define a "troll"?|||This section is for omnivores and herbivores alike for asking and answering questions pertaining to veg*nism. Many people have asked good questions here that people react with anger to, because they either think the person is trolling or they can't come up with an appropriate answer to the question and it frustrates them. I would define a troll (on this forum at least) as someone who purposefully/repeatedly deters from the community guidelines set by Yahoo: Venting / Ranting - this can apply to herbivores and omnivores alike, I see it coming from both sides. Belligerence, insults, slurs, obscenity and generally objectionable speech. Exploitation: ie; vote for my sister for "sexist vegetarian of the year", or "click this link to support alternative scientific research methods" - they do not fit the Q/A format. Cheating - Creating multiple accounts; I've seen many trolls "resurrect" themselves in this manner after having received a ban. Doing Harm, giving bad advice intentionally, such as "all vegetarians should drink bleach" as an answer. Acting maliciously- posting links to viruses or shock sites.|||This section is ABOUT vegetarianism and veganism, and other CLOSELY related topics, as are all sections of yahoo answers, respectively. The standard definition of a troll is somebody that makes outrageous statements/questions for the sole purpose of "baiting" users to get a rise out of them. Unfortunately, many users of this section frequently state or imply that non-vegetarians should not use (or even be prohibited from using) this section. Many users also appear to identify all non-vegetarians as "trolls". At least one "top contributor" (and occasionally other users) of this section even advocates reporting all posts made by non-vegetarians. Personally, I feel that reporting is for crybabies and tattletales, but I guess I don't have to like everything about yahoo answers.|||The section is for anyone who wants to ask proper questions about vegetarians and vegans. And I think of a troll as someone who deliberately comes on here to wind vegetarians and vegans up or ask a stupid question like "How do you like your steak?" Well, duh, it's the vegetarian section, so most people on here aren't going to eat steak or any other meat. The duh wasn't directed at you, however. Or if someone asks a question that really isn't related to vegetarianism at all I consider that trolling. So I don't think it's specifically for vegetarians and vegans but most people who come on here are vegetarians or vegans or they're omnivores looking for a vegetarian recipe.|||I think it is for both - it is a section where people can ask questions about vegetarians and vegans, but also a place for vegetarians and vegans to compare recipes. It is not a place for omnivores to critize vegetarians and vegans, and when they do this, I think they are trolling. I don't mind when they ask geniune questions about our lifestyle, but I do mind when they make fun or us.|||ABOUT. Non-vegetarians ask all sorts of legitimate questions in this category. They ask about taking their boyfriends and girlfriends to dinner, about how to react to a son or daughter going veg*n, and they are sometimes curious about our reasons for not eating meat or other animal products. There are obnoxious people who come on here and rant and call names, but that's just a result of this being a popular and self-moderated site. Y!A guidelines are pretty reasonable, and I don't particularly appreciate those people who don't comply, but there is no reason to exclude somebody from this category just because they don't personally practice vegetarianism or veganism.|||about its 'for' eveyrone who has any qs or as about the subject of the veggieisms or just wants a look i suppose it may have to do with how i define a troll to me, a troll is not soemone in a place they dont necearily seem to fit, its someone who purposfully seeks to hurt , offend or insult others for their own amusment or psychological issues|||About. I think there are some pretty arrogant people on both side of the issue. Some vegetarians feel like this forum is their territory and some meat eaters come here to ask stupid questions. There's a lot emotion attached to the topic so people can get extra rude and extra sensitive.|||I don't believe, I know that this section is ABOUT said subject. Its about discussing ALL sides of the subject, pros and cons. And If any (Vegan Guy) doesn't like it there is something wrong with their (DNA)|||About vegetarianism and veganism. And trolls are people. You never know when they might read something in the section that will actually make them reconsider their position.|||it is both. vegetarians and vegans come here and talk to each other, and others who aren't vegan or vegetarian. no has nothing to do with trolls|||yes, both. trolls are trolls, they define themselves.|||This section is for anyone who has a question about vegetarianism or veganism.|||About and no.
