Hey, I’m going to start posting at these forums and I want to know, is having a different opinion a troll on these forums? I want your honest opinion. Only thing I have heard is that these forums are good exept having a different opinion equals troll?
Example. If and when I’m going to give my opinion why I dont like halo 4, will the people call me troll? Dont say that “I have never seen a troll on these forums” (Waiting someone to say that)

Welcome to Waypoint!
These forums are very open in thought. Having a different opinion does not make you a troll. Just present yourself in an appropriate manner.
If you want, you can introduce yourself in the Roll call thread and use this template that bs angel provided.

Im not sure who told you this but they were trolling you lol.
Of course you are allowed a different opinion, just make sure you present it in a constructive manor. Don’t just flat out say Halo 4 will suck because its gonna be terrib;e or Halo 4 will be great cause halo is awesome!!!1!!1!
Make sure all your points are legitimate points and make sure not to flame, or personally attack anyone as an individual. These forums are great and people always have different opinions.
Also, since you are new, may I recomend post in in the Roll Call forums and introduce yourself. bs angel created a thread with a template you should use.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask more questions for clarifications
Of course not. However, if you voice it in a disrespectful manner, your post will not be liked.
I have never seen a troll on these forums.
No, but seriously, somebody with a different opinion than me is not considered a troll, at least for me. I cannot speak for everybody but I see a lot of people who respect others opinions and others who don’t.
You really have to look at the replies and take peoples suggestions into account when describing ‘why you don’t like Halo 4’. But that isn’t a very constructive topic either, does anybody really care? No offence intended.

Welcome to waypoint! So long as you are respectufl and kind talking in your posts even while disagreeing with others, then you should be okay.
Beware however, keep an eye on the people in the halo 4 forums; They can be a gloomy and interesting people.
And if you do find someone of a disrespectful manner, then try and be as civil as possible. They have no other way to reply but in a civil manner (and if they are still rude, they’re probably not worth discussing with…)
Good luck in your waypoint career! And if you ever want to just talk about random stuff not involving halo in any way, feel free to check out Yo! in general discussion.
But yes, there are the occasional “Trolls” on this forum, but here that doesn’t mean someone who disagrees with the majorities opinion.
It’s not your opinion that will label you as a “troll,” it’s the way you say it.
For example, which one of the following is a troll-y statement?
A.) There’s a couple of things I’ve seen in Halo 4 that concern me…
B.) Halo 4 sucks…
Correct answer: (B)
No, nothing like that here.
But as everyone’s said, if you post your discussions in a clear and well thought out manner then you’ll be fine. 
E.g:
I dislike Halo: Reach/3/2/CE/Anniversary/ODST because…
H3Y TH1S GAEM SUKX I WANt Mi MON3Y BAK U BETAR GIV OR IM GONA TAEK U TO CORT!!!1!!!1111!!!
I’m going to use a similar example to what Enfinit said:
Here are two case scenarios-which one is the troll-y statement?
A. Halo 4 is CoD in Space the game sucks
B. So Promethean Vision is a bit concerning to me…
The correct answer is A. Your opinioon is welcome but how you say it will define if it’s troll-y or not.
Welcome!
