I think there are plenty of people on here who know you are a regular contributor on the forum, and have played with you. These people for the most part will know that you would not intentionally slow-roll mate...
This is a poor source so i apologise for this, but even the first result in the urban dictionary shows otherwise.

Slowroll:
"What did he do, exactly?" Joe said.
"At the showdown when I turned over my cards, he didn't turns his up after seeing my hand. While I was collecting the chips, he turned over the nuts."
Why is this impossible online?
Showdowns happen automatically. If you "call" slowly, it doesn't matter, you havent made the call yet, this could be considered "decision time", whether u have the nuts or not. This is just a side effect of multitabling, sipping a drink, answering the phone, talking to someone, browsing the interwebs, latency/network problems.
Anyone who accuses you of slowrolling them? Tell them to stick it and deal with it - politely.
I know someone else who does it.
Slowroll is giving the impression the other player has won and dashing his hopes, taking a long time to call does not do that and therefore i don't see how it is slowrolling, some people may call it that on here but it's not an online term i see bounced around a lot of the other sites i play
People have already dwelt up on there calls on me and this doesn't bother me. For those it does bother i suggest trying less stressfull hobbies as there are far worse things in the world than waiting 15 seconds while someone makes their decision. T
here could be a huge amount of reasons for the call taking time, as stated in my previous post. they could have a decision to make, they may be double checking their holding (i know i've had to do this with nut flushes to make sure the str8 flush wasn't on etc) or they could just have computer problems which happens to me on a regular basis. Sky itself runs slow at some points and may not be allowing them to make the call. Uless they say it in the chat box that they have slowrolled you (as you put it) then this is nothing more than your assumption of what has happened
Taking your time before making a call is doing what you should be doing - thinking about your decision.
Deliberately taking your time to show your winning hand at showdown is slow rolling and can only happen in a live game because pocket cards are automatically revealed at showdown in the online game.
All the best
Most people would agree that typing "mmmmmmmmmmmm" in the chatbox before calling with the nuts heads-up on the river is "slow rolling". It may not meet the precise definition that has been quoted above but it does fall well within the boundaries of what most players (live or online) would term slow rolling. Many people would define "slow rolling" as taking longer than necessary to make any obvious call. This might include taking time to call a very small aipf with AA in the bb.
It doesn't bother me at all, personally, but many people deem it to be disrespectful.
However I do agree we have entered the realm of semantics.
All the best

In defence of tenofspade, multitabling does lead to the appearance of a slowroll when the timer runs down.
Sky poker runs so slow sometimes when multitabling that my timer actually starts half to three quarters timed out.
Surely that sort of thing doesn't occur in poker?
Only in the DYM Club.
Really??? Wow.
You mean you didn't have 5 aces?
I'll remember that for next time.
as is.......
Bowlers changing the pace of each ball in an over.
Tennis players playing the dastardly lob.
Tiddlywink's tournament players tiddlying when they should be winking.
Boxers trying to hurt their opponent with a one-two.
Peeping whilst counting when playing hide and seek.
Sticking your conkers in vinegar. (disgusting habit)
and slow rolling at paper-stone-scissors.
Cheating in anyone's language!
I certainly don't want to appear to be slow rolling due to a problem outside my control.
Letting the clock wind down when on the bubble in a satellite is completely different. There is no rule against it and LOTS of players do it so you are perfectly entitled to do it.
