Shit posting is doing what your typical Trump supporter does on this site

Trolling is when you actually put effort behind your bait, like that Trayvon guy, or The Admiral (sometimes)

Shit posting is when someone post inane content that is a complete waste, and gives nothing positive or meaningful for a discussion. It can be annoying, it can be distracting, and it can aggravate users, but it isn't done intentionally to piss people off. Vegy is a prime example of a shit poster. He post garbage at a constant and consistent rate, and many people find his shit annoying. None of his content contribute meaningfully, and alot of it is bitching over women. Prime shit poster.

Trolling is when you post shit posting garbage to deliberately get a rise out of people. These are easier to spot. These would be people like Differential_Equation, unfair represent, hypncoosh, etc. They will deliberately argue about pointless and dead arguments, strawman, and say controversial and genuinely unlike things then back it up poorly, while never conceeding defeat, just to piss you off. They can be considered an advanced form of shit poster.


@Vegy
@DifferentialEquation
@UnfairRepresent
@HypnoCoosh

Dude is throwing around sigless user logic and you think people are going to be mad at him?

Shitposting aims to be funny, even if it doesn't always succeed. Trolling aims only to annoy.

Shitposting is being a dick for the sake of being a dick, trolling is when you bait responses while being a dick.
