I just got a temporary suspension for trolling in another forum and I don't understand. I replied to a post that had a quote of mine in his post and they consider that trolling as in replying to my own post. Is this trolling?

That, in itself, doesn't sound like trolling to me.

But maybe the offense had to do with the content of the posts.

Just talking about craps is trolling in by book ;)

Each forum has its own rules/definitions. Why are you asking people who aren't even on that forum?? lol...

Their forum; their rules.

Do the provide a reason for the suspension as the Wizard and his minions do in most cases?

If they just say you are suspended and won't talk about it, then it just isn't as good of a board as this one.

They might not like nested quotes, and call it trolling because they are lazy.

Sounds more like thread bumping if it seems the intent. Otherwise I would think there are limited acceptable ways and it would depend on the user and the post.

Well........ since he is suspended there, he can't really ask anyone there about it.
Could be a case where they didn't care for the contents, and just made up trolling as a reason.

Seriously tho, under the new rules, if I were to call someone ,I clearly didn't like a Minion, would that be coincided a personal insult?

Axel,

I think that one would depend on context. I've seen the word used in very derogatory fashion, but also lightheartedly, especially after the Despicable movies came out. I would assume positive intent, myself, as I did here (I think correctly).

But, say, "You are such a brainless JP minion!" would probably get popped.
