No, they are just as annoying.
Trolling wastes time, space, and Y!A does not approve of their forum being used to waste people's "efforts."
They are also often times insulting as well.
BTW... this really is not an ETIQUETTE question... but thanks for asking!
Have a polite day.

The content of a "troll" posting generally falls into several areas. It may consist of an apparently foolish contradiction of common knowledge, a deliberately offensive insult, or a broad request for trivial follow-up postings.
So it depends, nothing wrong with a bit of frivolity foolishness or triviality in my opinion, it's the offensive insults that are the problem. Maybe we should have other words for the different categories of trolling, doesn't seem fair to lump it all together. ;)
