Well Conan here is the deal. A troll is a mean, ugly, dispicable creature that does bad things. So trolls are people who are mean, ugly, and dispicable things. They go report people for no reason, they may put garbage for an answer, and other unyahoo things. Just like Casovarb above me. Put your cursor over their avatar and a lot are level 1 people, but these are usually disgruntled people who have nothing better else to do. Part of it is that Yahoo Answer help team do not respond to gripes.

a troll is a person who tries to cause disruption, often in the form of posting messages that are inflammatory, insulting, or off-topic, with the intent of provoking a reaction from others

A troll is someone who hides under a bridge waiting to eat innocent passers by... I don't know.

It's people that come in and rant constantly to a point where they leave and never come back, hence wasting time (and life) to other people. We get that a lot in video game sites (Gamespot especially)

A good way for describing the bothersome, immature, aggravating, and pointless contributors . Take it from there .

A troll is someone who just posts strange/offensive things to get a rise out of people.

There is a bridge of decency and respect here and trolls live under that bridge. :-D
