Place for holivar
Hi, habra people!
Not so long ago, Vass voiced in Habré an idea of a startup for holivars: a site whose visitors could practice disputes on any topic, especially the “eternal” one. Trollim.ru is my attempt to create such a site.
The site encourages thin trolling, caustic and witty statements, provocations. Much of what is prohibited on “decent” sites is allowed and welcomed here. The main thing is to involve as many opponents as possible in the dispute, forcing them to disagree with you and express their opinion. (However, if there is an absolute majority of those who disagree, an interesting dispute will not come out.) Many well-known trolling techniques can be applied within reasonable limits: switching to personalities, deliberate distortion of facts, substitution of concepts ...
')
In reasonable cases, because rude insults, flooding, copying and all that does not make the content of the dispute interesting are prohibited. The site is not for sad trolls (I hope they will not come here), but for those who consciously show an interest in the art of argument.
A tricky rating system operates (and continues to be improved) on the site: any statement has a “temperature” - a numerical indicator characterizing its argumentativeness and debatability. The temperature can be influenced in two ways: agree with the author of the statement or disagree. However, the result will be unpredictable: the statement may become more "hot", and vice versa.
The “hottest” statements are those that have a large number of consonants and dissenters. If the absolute majority disagree, the effect will be the opposite: this measure was introduced as a protection against spam / flood.
Future plans:
I hope that visitors will be able to learn to subtly and wittyly argue, as well as not to fall for the provocateurs on other sites where trolling is not in high esteem.
Good luck!
PS Thanks to habrachelovek Vass for the idea and to theunknown Randall Monroe, the author of the xkcd comic, for the beautiful phrase.

Future plans:
- Openid
- ability to enter HTML with adequate filtering
- differentiation of the status of visitors (rating, “fat troll” or something like that)
- duel: the ability to cause an opponent to "go to the barrier" - a one-on-one public dispute, with a slightly higher rating for the winner
- other resource-specific functions
I hope that visitors will be able to learn to subtly and wittyly argue, as well as not to fall for the provocateurs on other sites where trolling is not in high esteem.
