Do not post troll posts. Troll posts include:
- requesting assistance with Microsoft products (example: "Someone deleted my Internet Explorer, and now I can't Internet. How do I fix it?")
- inflammatory messages (example: "You are an idiot for using Vi instead of Emacs.")
- intentionally posting messages containing an obvious flaw or error (example: "Mac OS 7 was the best UNIX ever.")
- intentionally naive or politically contentious message (example: "The Republican party is the best/worst party!") without any arguments to support their message
- intentionally posting an outrageous argument deliberately constructed around a fundamental but obfuscated flaw or error (example: "Windows 3 was the first GUI, so Microsoft has more innovation than Apple!")
- posting a ridiculous claim and then insisting it's true unless people refute it to their satisfaction (example: "... it's true! If you don't agree, you're a moron!")
- making loud claims to be on the defensive, while the claims are a guise for their aggressive maneuvers (example: "I am simply trying to be funny.")
- including offensive media such as disturbing pictures in a message (this includes pornographic material) (example: "I thought you guys may like this naked girl.")
- after successfully baiting users, feigning innocence and/or feigning ignorance of procedures (example: "I didn't know it isn't allowed to ask questions about Windows.")
- any reply to a troll post (example: "Stupid troll. You are so wrong because etc."), although you won't be marked as a troll when you do so
