Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

MODERATORS
So, the issue is that behaviorwise they're indistinguishable from each other.
Intentionally or unintentionally ignoring signals that a person isn't interested in debate or discussion with you is just as annoying to the person being bothered either way.
It doesn't matter if your intentions are sincere or not when you decide to pester someone into a debate they're not interested in having.
Yeah true, the persistent pestering component is arguably always trolling. I guess that's one of the signals that you can use to distinguish.
I can still think of gray areas, but I guess that's why it's effective camouflage.
Another signal is their complete lack of interest in anything you've said outside of what they want to pester you about.
