Trolling; is basically stirring up a discussion or debate for no other reason than to cause agro or disruption. It ruins threads (topics of discussion) for people that are genuinely interested in genuine opinions.

The trolls that you see banned are most probably re-registered posters that have been banned in a previous incarnation for trolling or just behaving like clowns after registering.
