I've not noticed much troll activity in the past little while, I just endless "OMFG STOP WHINING" or "I HATE NOTCH" or "BETA SUX" threads. People are whining, not trolling.

For the sweet love of god, I am on my knees praying to heaven that this is a troll.
People aren't trolling.
People just think anything that doesn't agree with the norm is trolling because they've never seen a real troll.
I mean, if even the top quarter of the crap people say is trolling is indeed trolling, these people are **** trolls.
Art of trolling isn't some kind of attack site or anything, minecraft is already extremely popular game that most trolls already know about, plus these forums are, like everyone else said, extremely easy to troll on.
So yeah, we're always going to have trolls unless admins step up the moderation but otherwise...
Not that I'm accusing anyone here of not doing this, but still, most people are easily baited when someone talks about their favorite game in a way they disagree with.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Reacting to a troll with amusement or indifference is not supporting the troll. People who rage do support trolls because they encourage them to come back.
The art of trolling website had a pic of someone asking about minecraft, maybe this showed other trolls that MC players are targets to trolls
Post a suggestion that the community frowns upon (Guns, for example), and you have tons of people raging.
Also, it seems nobody can simply report and move on...
Just sayin'.
