I know this sounds stupid, but I hear the word "troll" used all the time, in different contexts. Can someone give me an accurate definition of what a forum troll realy is please?

Hmm... what do you call it when a guy posts something IDENTICAL to the post just above his? You know, when a person for some reason just has to post in a thread, even if he has nothing to add AT ALL?
It's called "EmAning", and it's getting really out of hand in this forum.

Errr, sorry was watching some old Trek.
