| :First, stop censoring talk. It is rude.
| |
|
| |
| :Second, there is MUCH dispute about "what is a troll" and "what are the rightful powers of a sysop". Notably [[Larry Sanger]] had a lot to say on this just recently. And [[w:Wikipedia:troll]] and [[w:Internet troll]] and so on, leave LOTS of doubt as to what the hell this word means.

|
| |
| :As for the distinction:
| |
|
| |
| :It matters mostly because, if sysops are trolls, then it is not a requirement for trolls to avoid [[technological escalation]], and so, such [[trolls nest]] tactics as [[SOLLOG]] [[POV warrior]]s use at [[wikipediasucks.com]] are fair game. If sysops are not trolls, however, then the distinction between them ''must be'' this use of technology the other side doesn't have ([[vandalbot]], [[delete page]] and [[undelete page]]), and so true [[trolls]] would then be obligated not to use it, or else they'd drop to the moral level of sysops. The distinction is a moral one, mostly: Can trolls behave like sysops without becoming just as bad?

| |
| :The distinction would clarify whether [[sysop vandalism]] is a subset of [[troll vandalism]], or if they are totally separate things that have a [[dialectic]] or tension with each other. If they have such tension, then sysops might be able to collaborate with trolls on some important issues like getting [[Consumerium governance]] properly defined.
