So, what exactly is "trolling"?
Important things to have some sort of transparency about in an online community : Rules & their Enforcement
I did searches of "troll" and "points" in the FAQ - No results.
If points are infractions, how we we check how many points we've accumulated?
How do we know what the litmus test is for receiving points? What are the defined lines between 'snarky remarks' - 'passive aggressive remarks'- 'flaming' ?
What is to keep a Mod from abusing their power when they are having a bad day?
Is there some sort of check & balance system? Is the points thing guilty until proven innocent? Is there any recourse from getting enforced on?

An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response[1] or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.[2]
check post #2 and read his replies https://www.i-club.com/forums/showpo...67&postcount=2
guy registers and starts doing exactly that in a thread for "how many people are coming to the meet."
the thread starter even said he was a troll.
the other moderators removed his posts.
the infraction was justified. there was no moderator abuse.
