Do trolls serve a valuable purpose on internet forums?
The quality of trolls ranges in quality as much as users who take any given forum seriously. There are good ones, bad ones, funny ones, smart ones, dumb ones, etc.

I would contend that trolls serve a critical purpose on nearly any internet social medium. They keep people from taking it too seriously. They remind the community that this isn’t real life, this is an internet forum. They remind those who administer the forum that their power is strictly limited to their little corner of the internet. They help expose the absurdity of it all.
