Here is a list of commonly used forum language on AoPS.
Contents
Bump
"Bumping" means to post on a thread simply to make the thread appear at the top of a forum, usually via posting "bumping" or "bump". Do not bump without sharing relevant information.
Troll
Trolling is the act of posting overly difficult problems or problems with too many calculations on forums. It is commonly used when someone posts a question from, for example, the International Math Olympiad, on the Middle School Math Forum. When problems are considered trolls, it is usually the consensus that they are too hard to do. Also, a troll likes to mess around on forums.
Snipe
Sniping is the act of posting to a thread right before another user posted, usually when the posts are of similar content. AoPSers tend to edit their post and add things like "EDIT: sniped!" at the end to signify this.
It is also used in reaper when 2 or more AoPSers reap at around the same time (5 seconds or so) by accident, usually giving one a large score and the other a smaller one.
Postfarming
Literally what the name says. People post randomly to "farm" posts.
Upvotefarming
Postfarming, but with upvotes.
