Is Hubpages.com mostly free of "trolling"?
I am still relatively new to this, and I have yet to see any cases of "trolling". Trolling is when people purposefully go around and post negative feedback where in most cases it is completely unwarranted. You see this a lot on YouTube, but I was just wondering if it is an issue on this site.

It happens, but not nearly as much as some other sites. I went on Reddit and I was shocked at how mean and nasty some people there are. Lots of them brag about how good it feels to vote someone's post down to 0, apparently it didn't matter what the post was about.
I see it on the forums a lot- some just show up to debate in a rude way.
