Baiting

Something posters do to gain post count. Posters post something dumb, waiting on other peoples posts so he can reply for some +1 post count. Also, posters can flame people as bait, so the person who was flamed will reply, and there will be a big argument, leading to alot of +1 post count. Largely used on the Vault Network forums (VN)

Neorah: Grunty you suck at life, give up.
Grunty: WTF, I'll kill you.
Saberwulf: Baited!

Bait

Making something really obvious that is illegal or something that if it got in the wrong hands could have a serious consequence such as the law enforcement.

Such as if you messaged someone on facebook trying to get illegal things:

Person 1: Hey dude can I get some of that illegal stuff off of you?
Person 2: Text me, because it is bait on here
