My previous title sucked.
When you get on a forum board with trolling as your aim, what kind of trolling do you do? How many of these:
1: Posting a deliberately provocative threads with the intention of causing maximum disruption and argument, bumping really old threads, making useless/amusing replies to threads, with the only purpose to have fun;
2: Same as 1, but with the purpose to destroy the board as much as possible;
3: Offending and flaming users, starting flame wars (often used in combination with 1 or 2);
4: Spamming and flooding with no purpose at all.
I do mostly 1, and sometimes 4. I never flame (I only reply sometimes in self-defense, but not in a rude manner), though once I got in a rhyme-flaming-battle against a rapper. I started this thread mainly to see how unusual is it to be a troll who never uses mindless flaming.
