'''Trolling''' is the monopolizing of discussions, repeatedly talking more than the other side, despite saying nothing coherent. It can be the posting of outrageous comments to bait people. Trolling is also redundant arguments intended to occupy and waste other users time, efforts, and energies, and to distract them from productive editing and making mainspace article contributions.

Many trolls are attention getters, or just enjoy annoying people. Some however, have a direct purpose or agenda -- to destroy the Conservapedia project and limit its ability to build an internet community by inconveniencing and harassing users. Trolling is blockable offense. However, blocking the troll does not solve the problem; determined trolls can continue their activity through blocking appeals and [[Conservapedia:sockpuppet]]ry. Some trolls have been known to persist for several years.
