Little things that annoy on you on boards...

jumpguy · 2009-12-18 21:13:15

What're those little things people do on boards, or just about boards that annoy you (this isn't a feedback thread)? I hate it in AH when one wastes a first post opportunity with a crappy joke in hope for thanks. I hate it when you get the last post on a page in a multi-page post. Depending on how big and active the topic…

Users who use the word "lame" to describe crap things on After Hours - thats what the forum is for! Anytime I read it I always think the poster is taking something personal out of what is directed at, no matter how childish.

That and I know I would get a hiding if I was heard using it at my local bus stop (or would at least expect a minor thumping)

Insidious atheist types who waft in after statements that co-incidentally reference religion (in a Christian society, imagine that) to set things 'right', and usually with 2-bit humour.

Reminds me of Jedward.

TL;DR.

Self righteous Twats who even when you explain facts to them, still think they are right. Admit you're wrong and get on with it.

People who say "each to their own".

Would they apply the same mantra to a paedophile? Hardly.

So in reality, while attempting to appear all liberal and open, what they are saying is each to their own, within the boundaries of what they personally find acceptable, which is not really each to their own.

That sort of internet speak where posters add a H to the end of a word or change letters around. eg "teh interwebz" or "ha ha, you're ghey".

Spammers are my personal hatred. I despise them.
Posters who persist in angry PM conversations with me about every little thing. The only part of me that's super human is my liver and that's only got a few years left so cut the mods some slack.
+1, yore ma and all that crap.
Anyone who uses phrases like "PC gone mad" incorrectly or mentions pinkos, lefties, liberals, bleeding hearts etc.
Religious debate. Stop talking about it. You are not going to convince each other.
Discussions about the future of boards.
Discussions about how boards was better in the old days.
People looking to get offended by absolutely every and any thing.
Gimmick posters.
Re-regges.
The fact that Celeb and showbiz and TV is under arts.
People who don't ever admit they're wrong.
Keyboard warriors.
Goats cheese. Ick.
