By all means, let the moderator moderate according to his own
experience. I know that I can be clicked out of existence at any
moment.

I didn't make the distinction between trolling for sport and trolling
without that intention.
When a person says "I want to make ___ my legacy"
(http://moq.org/forum/Skutvik/solupdate/solupdate.html) you get a rare
glimpse of his morals. If the legacy is the greatest goal, the list
may be subverted without moral compunction. That evaluation can lead
to trolling unintentionally. It might be better understood as spam.
I'm still not sure. I'm trying to find out.
