There are many definitions of "Internet Troll" available online. We accept much of those, but would also add our own bias based on our experiences on the Poetry Pages and other sites we have frequented.
Here are some links of interest:

Here is the first "addition" to our definition of trolls:
Anyone joining the site and posting a multitude of non-sequitur or nonsensical replies to multiple topics in a relative short space of time without a concomitant balance of genuine "topics" may arouse the suspicion of the admin and moderator team that this is a potential troll in waiting. Our experience with such posters has been predominantly negative and our responses may seem unduly judgmental, but our first duty is to the welfare of this site as a whole.
