Wikis are stagnant, low-productive, and new-user unfriendly. Why you ask? Trolls, everyone is a fucking troll. There's three types of trolls;

1: The casual troll: Not to be taken seriously, posts stupid/mildly hilarious comments, is not seeking to provoke. Often makes useful contributions to the wiki. Friendly to new users.
 * How to approach: Approach with humour, dont let anything he says touch you, he's just looking for fun.

2: The disruptive troll: Often breaks into conversations to add totally random and provoking statements. Finds himself to be very funny. Sometimes makes useful contributions to the wiki. Likes to annoy new users.
 * How to approach: Approach with caution, do not give it a reason to troll you. Report his disruptions to an admin.

3: The vandal: Sees trolling as a mean to reach his goals: destroy the productivity of the wiki. Often insults people with no reason to provoke emotional reaction through unargumented offensive statements. This thing gains pleasure out of other people's misery and is a danger for every self-respecting wiki. These people have no self esteem and seek to offend others to make themselves feel better.
 * How to approach: Ignore his offensive statements. Revert his disruptive edits. Report to an admin.
