09:39 Being a green name ( a newbie ) is nothing to do with being a troll.
If a user is banned for trollish behaviour and reregisters with a new id that doesn't make him a troll - it's the behavious that is trollish.
"An "Internet troll" or "Forum Troll" or "Message Board Troll" is a person who posts outrageous message to bait people to answer. Forum Troll delights in sowing discord on the forums. A troll is someone who inspires flaming rhetoric, someone who is purposely provoking and pulling people into flaming discussion. Flaming discussions usually end with name calling and a flame

I didn't know that the green lettering meant rookie or someone who had been previously barred (I'm a rookie). Does this mean if that if Einstein were still alive and answered a question on relativity he would be regarded as a rookie or a chancer? Everybody laughed at Einstein but not at his brother Frank.
