# Troll: a roast with rules

> A new kind of post. Put yourself — or a school, a team, a business or an event everybody knows — up for a friendly roast, set the rules, and the funniest shot is crowned.

Some posts are asking for it. Now there's a proper way: **Troll**, on the post screen.

## You set the rules

- **Who gets trolled** — you, or a school, an event, a celebrity, a politician, a business, a team, a place or something else.
- **What's off limits** — kind choices are on from the start: no family jokes about you, nothing about a school's people or party politics.
- **House rules** of your own — *Pidgin only*, *one line only*, *rhymes only*.
- **The heat** — 🌶️ Mild, 🌶️🌶️ Hot or 🌶️🌶️🌶️ Shito. All of them friendly.
- **Shots** — one each, or three — and how long it's **open**: an hour, a day or three days.

## The crowd decides

People take their shots and laugh 😂 at the ones that land. When it closes, the shot with the most laughs is crowned. The host can stamp a favourite, clap back once at any shot, red-card one that broke the rules, or close it early.

Some rules are always on, whatever the host picks: no hate, no threats, nothing sexual, no private details, nothing made up about real people, and never children.
