I confess that I often save without preview.

Bots only remain newbies for a very short time.  In less than a minute 
they can acquire enough edit history to graduate them from newbydom. :-)

It depends what derivation of troll your using.  In their most common 
usages the noun and verb have completely different etymologies.  When we 
refer to the verb their work is done on the open ocean.

The two etymologies do have another point of convergence  The Nordic 
troll through the Germanic gave rise to the word "trull"; the Old 
English sense of turning, revolving or even the musical singing of 
successive parts of a drinking song eventually gave rise to the word 
"trollop".  

This is trolling at its most feminized. ;-)
