Little things that annoy on you on boards...

Hitler style moderation.

Annoying dwarfs

* People who thank silly posts just because other people did, and it's usually only a half witty response//The need to say something funny immediately to get lots of thanks [merged these two as they are similar!]

* The insensitivity of some posters about serious topics - just because it's posted in AH doesn't always require the expected smart ass comments.

* The way some people argue their point - yes it's very easy to be insulting and hypocritical about things when you're typing in front of a computer screen, but it doesn't mean you're being particularly clever. However you will probably get lots of thanks [see point 1]

* The OTT modding/warning [see aforementioned examples in other posts].

I don't know, I thought Hitler was a very fair mod.

I dislike it when mods act unprofessional, they let personal feelings influence moderating decisions, they actively "seek out" so-called troublesome posters, pick apart a posting to look for faults to issue a warning or a ban.

It's like there *waiting* for you to say something so they can ban your ass!

He was pretty biased to towards the blue eyed blond posters though.

PI and RI! Not knowing if advice actually helped, or if they took it!

**Timbuk2**

When people act all tough on the internet. "If I was in that position I probably would have punched the chap".

When in reality they probably would have ignored it, looked away and whinged about it on an internet forum later.

people who dont understand the cardinal rule:

EVERYTHING A POSTER SAYS IS THEIR OPINION NOT FACT!!! and saying fact doesnt make it fact either

g-whizz

People that sign their username at the end of posts...

People kissing up to the mods or sticking up for them to get brownie points.Their egos are big enough as it is and they can handle flack that they get themselves they don't need help:o.

I hate posters that totally ignore a valid point made in an argument to correct grammar! It's obvious that you can't think of anything to say/write back and have resorted to distraction!

We are users on the forums too, and sometimes it's nice to know that people agree or take the point of the post we make.

But I can see where you are coming from.

Mod's can see what you see too, so we are not fooled by certain thanks.

That annoys me too.

Not everyone is perfect when it comes to spelling and sometimes posters are in such a hurry to get their point across they can hit a wrong key.

That's hardly their fault and other posters should realise this and not draw attention to it.

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 is, it's most of the time virtually ignored.

I hate it when forums you really like are inactive for a long time.

Your go...

i hate it when people take AH seriously.

Some of us have very fragile little egos and need all the sucking up we can get

Yep, but like so many things on these type of threads, that means nothing in particular.

Capt'n Midnight

underpants gnomes

The assumption that all mods think/behave exactly the same way and all really like each other and have one big mod orgy as often as they can.

Would depend who you'd like? NO?

Nice edit if I say so myself!

Seloth

The extremist atheists,only on the internet

Bloody Nipples

The way when people post in P.I. looking for relationship advice, the default response to their woes is "I think you need to leave this person".

Who do these people think they are? ****in Yoda?:mad: Muppets.

Blitzkrieger

I have to admit I'm almost as bad as a grammer nazi - people who only know one way to spell 'plane' annoy me. People who send you emails telling you it's been 'quite this week'. The whole they're, there, their, your, you're, to, two, too, etc. annoys the crap out of me too. Learn english ffs....

People who moan about attention-seeking posts but nonetheless view threads in terms of "first post opportunities".

brummytom

People who reply to threads about certain people with "Who?" repeatedly.

Just google the name FFS!

ergonomics

People who post asking where they can get X or see Y in "town". What town?

When you spot a really good/interesting thread but it's already 20+ pages long and completely gone off the original topic.

Kirnsy

elitism in certain forums.



the term circle jerk and its use to lazily excuse mods of sticking together purely because they're mods.

people who complain :pac:
