2. forum troll 16 up, 2 down

A forum troll is someone who actively watches a forum. Not to be confused with a lurker, or just a forum frequenter, the troll annoys, pesters, and generally insults any thread they open.

-- Interweb : "My dad called me yesterday and said that the house was up for sale and I have to move and now I won't have any friends and I'm so sad I don't even know how to use punctuation it's insane."

-- Forum Troll : "I've become dumber just by reading this. Removing you from the genepool would not only be helpful to society, but would be praised in songs for generations."

3. forum troll 2 up, 1 down

Somebody who patrols an interweb forum or message board and uses childish tactics and droll wit. An absolute detriment to the intelegence to an internet group or society as a whole.

Quote Being the ultimate epitome of the human race that I am, I have a hard time trying to comprehend WHY men, born superior, with testlcles and testosterone would want anything to do with a female way of life. It simply doesn't make sense. Why would a MAN want to degrade himself by playing as a WOMAN?? -Zaknafeinn (SB official Forum Troll)

Someone who, instead of finishing their project, writes lots of quasi-interesting messages on forums disguised as a slightly feminine cultural politician.

Some guy: How about these anal beads?

forum troll: Well I want some for Christmas!!!

A person who spends all his time on forums, and generally has no life and lives in his parent's basement.

That guy is a Forum Troll, no doubt.

I prefer these trolls

I used to run a parenting forum, go on other parenting forum and have come across many a troll in my time.

The examples the OP gave are so mild to what I have encounted and had said to me or to friends.

Some trolls can just get way out of hand and loose control and let a site consume them.
 
Okay maybe I am stupid, but is a troll just someone who doesn't have anything positive to say?

It is generally someone who makes a reply to a post that is antagonising/flaming/annoying to the people involved with the sole intent of creating mischief and thus not really adding anything positive, relative and/or worthwhile to the discussion at hand. People like this often bombard more than one post with their rhetorical drivel and in alot of cases only join the forum for that reason.
 
Yeah, that is pathetic. I had a jet ski enthusiast forum that was basically ruined by "trolls"... I don't understand how people have such a small value on their own,as well as others, time.
