I am currently:

There were two new accounts where members are now banned. One was said to be talking about their diseased penis and the other about their baps. "They" both started an "epsiode" that led to bans/thread locking etc. That is "trolling"

"An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response[1] or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.[2]"

If they aren't/weren't from stranger chat place that is good. Still (still) - if people want to chit chat with strangers and oddballs (and I can understand people wanting to event though I am not interested in chats period) they shouldn't be telling them about RYL. I still recall all the sturm and drang (a little German lingo there) over the spammers coming here and taking peoples posts and emails etc. As Mary Poppins used to say a pound of prevention os worth a ton of cure. For all the little nibbly things that are sketched as "dangerous" here somehow, and about not saying this or that without triggers for all sorts of things then the logic of skipping over to tell mysterious ( yet often dodgey) chatters about RYL is obtuse imo. Do I care a lot? No. It's sort of a situation like seeing bird poops on a bench, and so sitting somewhere else instead of splatting right down in it full on. Little adjustments like that help keep the crappy stuff to minimum
