Hey, I'm new here, and I don't understand the troll post. I get that it's a reminder about forum behavior, but it's too cryptic for me. Clarification, please?
thanks

You can safely ignore that, as it only makes sense if you were here a long time ago. We keep it up for hysterical reasons. Oops, I mean historical reasons. There are only one or two like that in the entire place.

And welcome to GN!

It's more like a shrine, isn't it?

A troll is someone who posts on a forum just to stir up dissent and discord. They get their rocks off by provoking people. Every forum has a few; they're like parasites. Hopefully the forum moderators spot them early and ban them.

If you're not that way inclined, don't worry about it. If you feel someone is trying to wind you up online, just ignore them and don't give them the satisfaction.
