'''Q: Why is it called 'troll'pasta?'''
'''A:''' Despite what some people might think, trollpasta is not about trolling, nor do we condone trolling in any way shape or form. One of the reasons the genre is called 'trollpasta' is because many of the early trollpastas usually started out as 'serious' creepypastas and either got incredibly stupid in the last paragraph, or had the last sentence be a popular meme of the time (Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, everybody walk the dinosaur, etc.) revealing that the whole story was a joke disguised as an actual creepypasta. Another reason is the fact that many of them utilize what was then referred to as 'trollspeak', the all caps, bad spelling, rushed manner many of the old stories were written in which would later become a trademark of trollpastas, although this trend has died down in recent years.

'''Q: What makes a "bad" trollpasta?'''
'''A''': If a pasta is spammy, shitposty, and/or painfully unfunny, then it's most likely bad and not worth reading. Some shitpost pastas can be funny, but most of the time they fall flat, so it's best to avoid making them. Stories that are lazily written by adding a bunch of clichés and making no effort in making it entertaining are also not good. For more information, check out the [[Trollpasta Wiki:Writing a Trollpasta: Do's and Don'ts|Trollpasta do's and don'ts]] and [[Trollpasta Wiki:Trollpasta Clichés|clichés list]].
