    Now it may be just my imagination, but it seems to me that we have someone coming in using different user names and making asinine posts, always in the form of questions. Seems it happens every weekend.
    Now maybe I'm wrong, and these actually are "legitimate" questions. In which case, I'm despairing of what the future holds for trucking.

    If they are fairly new to the site, and you feel it's and account created just to troll, please report one of their posts, so that we can look at them.

    For general guidance:

    I'm not talking about posts you disagree with, but posts that just seem to be made to cause a stir, or generally off questions/topics that raise a flag. The staff welcomes the help, but please don't report posts that are in line with the discussion that you might not agree with.

    Definition of Internet Troll

    In Internet slang, a troll (/ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting quarrels or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory,[1] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[2] or of otherwise disrupting normal, on-topic discussion,[3] often for the troll's amusement.
