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.
