Troll vs Parody

[BlackRayPlayer]

When it comes to forums. More often I see honest parodies taken as troll posts. Do you feel they are one in the same or do you see parodies and troll posts as something different?

[Guest]

Depends on how they act or what they say/do.

define "parody" in this context. If someone says something sarcastic and puts /s at the end for a joke, is that trolling, or parody? also, where does shitposting fall in this spectrum?

I see you must be talking about this:

This is not parody.  It’s using the LTT name to play a joke and making it sound believable, thus could be considered trolling.

[Guest]

if you were referring to what @MrFixitBlankFace posted, your locked thread, then that's definitely not parody. I suggest you understand what parody actually means.
