Personally I think a lot of people get way too salty over getting slowrolled.
There are loads of situations I think its acceptable. At the wsop on one of my trips, there a guy at the table who was going out of his way to annoy everyone. He wasn't subtle about it. His attitude was "what you gonna do about it". The floor was called a number of times but he always did just enough to stay at the table.
At some point he left the table to go to the toilet, or was a few minutes late back from a break or something. There was a Winamax pro at the table who said something along the lines of "I don't normally condone slowrolling… but if there was ever a time..."
Unfortunately I bust not too long later and didn't get a chance to slowroll, but I hope someone did!
As Matt said, the situation is key when slowrolling. I don't think I would ever slowroll someone I had no interaction with before on purpose.

One of the most satisfying things about online poker is getting slow roll revenge. It's happened to myself a number of times (surprising, I know) and I'll always make a note; something articulate along the lines of ''slowroll this pr1ck'' usually suffices.
Always a joyous occasion when you can finally get them back, be that weeks, months or sometimes even years down the line.
When I dabbled in DYMs a couple of years ago, it took about 2 months of playing the same player day in day out before the poker Gods finally afforded me the opportunity to get my revenge with a set over set cold deck. To say the villain in question (who I won't name but is a female who might have been in the Navy) went apeshit in the chatbox would be an understatement. Fun times and a whale never forgets or whatever that saying is.
Yeah players shouldn't do it but I don't really think its much of an issue. Chances are a newbie might not even realise whats going on, depending on how 'newbie' they are.
