The trolling thing is a bit confusing. I guess the line is drawn when it seems the troll in question isn't really trying to accomplish anything other than heckling others for his own amusement with no one else really laughing at it.

The truth is, nobody here appears to know what trolling really means.
No one ever gets in trouble for trolling. It's a lot like the "Pissing off the staff" rule. They're safety nets. When it becomes apparent that you're not attempting to bring anything of value to the forums, we'll use one of these to get rid of you.
Also, this is only the second year that this award has existed and Sly didn't win it last year.

What is the point of multiple safety nets when you have total authority? Just end the rule book and put up two Cartman memes and be done with it. Respect my authoritahy and I do want I want.
Anyone that has been here a while that isn't a mod will admit Habs explained it perfectly. Then again we may be in uncharted waters as Nate made a logical point based on fact checking while I am rambling wildly by the seat of my pants and I have shit twice in the last 30 minutes and one of them was a close call for the aforementioned pants.

I wouldn't be surprised.
I just got banned from PW for the umpteenth time for bringing nothing of value to the forums. Such broad, discretionary rules often get the wrong man.

The only people who have total authority are KB, Sly, and the other voiceless admins. The rest of us rarely make calls like that.
Hab's point is certainly true. At least in my eyes. I'll give leniency to regulars if my gut tells me that they just made a mistake. I gave GD an infraction the other day, though. It depends on the situation as well as the person.
I'm the worst person to be answering this. I'm probably the most lenient moderator on staff.

You only ban trolls who are without talent.
Rule #1.

That's a simpler way to put it.
I was just about to vote for you but saw you were somehow left off the poll. Better luck next year.

Hopefully they add best curmudgeon so I have a reason to vote for you finally.

I have no interest in hitting anyone I have ever met here.
Sly must ban himself now, right?
