Noticed a new Troll Tactic recently:
Because this forum allows you to modify previous statements, Trolls have been doing the following:
1) Saying something reasonable
2) Waiting for agreement
3) Changing their original (reasonable) comment to something trollish so that it looks like you are agreeing with a ridiculous statement.
Check your threads to make sure you haven't fallen victim to this deplorable tactic.
