DumbQuestion 04/13/21 8:17:31 AM #1:	Lets say that there is a user on gamefaqs that severely downplays covid. Or even says that it's some conspiracy by the government. On gamefaqs, is it considered trolling to downplay covid, say that it isn't a big deal like the media says, or even outright make statements that you'll never get the Covid Vaccine, or even try to convince people that it would harm someone in the long run? <cite>DumbQuestion posted [p:952779951] in Is It Cons...

If I say "they haven't proven it doesn't cause cancer in 5 years" while it's true, it could also be a false narrative. Such is the beast that is trolling. It's more often than not fifty shades of gray rather than the black and white perspective that a lot of people think. That's where a mod would use their best judgement to gauge intent. Are they trying to have a constructive discussion, or are they just trying to be antagonizing? It's not inherently against the TOU to have a different, stupid, or even wrong opinion. What will get you hit is presenting your opinion as fact, pushing blatantly false narratives in bad faith, or posting an opinion that would be considered offensive. That's not an exhaustive list however. Every post is different. Context matters in each one. --- Remember...remember us. Remember...that we once lived...
