I was temp banned for this line, "Suicide isn't illegal... yet." They said for trolling.
So my question becomes, What does SOE consider "Trolling" (It's never specifically defined) and why was I banned for saying that?

Just like racism, religion, and ethical issues like euthanasia andabortion, suicide leads to very emotional laden conversations. And that's what trolling is. Stirring something up in order to get people to respond strongly or to start a flame war. If you did this on purpose or not isn't the issue and it isn't an excuse either.
Think before you post!

The comment was said to no one in particular. Another member and I were giving out random comments that had no direct meaning to any person. I just think one of the mods had a problem with this or contemplated it or something and his/her emotions started to take over. One should never bring personal problems to work, it's inhibiting.

Or one of your readers may have had his/her emotions take over and report the post....? There are many reasons someone could find that statement offensive and/or a touchy subject.
Nonsense threads pretty much are trolling because they serve no purpose and are without any kind of constructive discussion. That's what these forums are for.
