The following things annoy me to no end.


Bumping of old threads simply by using the word "bump" and/or the cocky smiley. If your thread was so lame that you couldn't think of anything relevant to say other than "bump", then apparently, your thread REALLY doesn't need to be bumped in the first place, now does it? For the record--it's not the people themselves, it's the habit of such.

People who abhor using the shift key. Seriously, I know that I tend to capitilize a bit TOO much, according to certain people, but it's better than not doing it at all. At the VERY least, just do the first letter in a sentence and the letter "I" when signifying yourself. For the record--it's not the people themselves, it's the habit of such.

Using "LOL", "LMAO" or other shorthand while typing on a messageboard. I can understand doing it in a game, like WoW or Counter Strike. I can tolerate it in an IM. But there's no reason to have it on a message board--it's not like you don't have time to react to something someone said. You're not going to need a resurrection, or get sniped. And for you smartasses who are going to type "Yes I am :csad: "--you're ****ing lying. For the record--it's not the people themselves, it's the habit of such.

People who post "too long-I'm not going to read that" Personally, I see that as spam, and when I see it, I delete it. It's pointless to post something like that in a thread if you're not going to participate in the discussion. For the record--it's not the people themselves, it's the habit of such.

How every thread is eventually related to Hitler or the Nazis, regardless on what it was talking about in the beginning. Godwin's law is right. :down For the record--it's not the people themselves, it's the habit of such.
 
BUMP! LOL! NAZI'S! :cool: TOO LONG IM NOT GOING TO READ THAT!
 
You were pretty much asking for it. Laughing My Ass Off!
 
Well said sir! I have one for you too.

People who don't understand the concept of quoting more than one post in a single reply. Copy/paste people, use it.
 
People quoting a message and typing 'Agreed' and nothing else under it.

I know, I know. I'm asking for it.

Agreed.
 
This thread scares me:(

All the big, boldy words feel like Drakon is yelling at us.

What's happening to you, Drakon? You don't write, you don't call. Your sexual appetite has decreased.

Is there... someone else?:csad:
 
My biggest annoyance....

The Spider-Man Comic Book forum. Ugh! :oldrazz:
 
You know what annoys me. Double standards here. Why is it that someone can make a thread day in and day out pretty much in an attempt to promote racism/prejudice against arabs and muslims and not get a warning or anything, but the second its about some other minority or social class it gets immediatley closed and probation and bannings are thrown around. And we all know who im talking about. Just an annoyance.

He spends him time talking to me. I'm sorry.:o:(
 
Agreed.

And you know what else is annoying? Actually it's not really annoying it's something that confuses me more than anything...

But people who have only been here for like a year or maybe 2 and already have close to or over 20,000 posts. I mean, how is that even possible?

I know sometimes I don't have a life going on and get bored and spend an entire afternoon here...but I mean you'd have to literally sit on the Hype all day, everyday to do that.

Holy shins! :wow:

For me, it's mostly because I spent two full summers here. I posted nearly every day and went way overboard with it.

:cmad:

If I said the things that celldog says about Muslims, but made them about blacks, my thread would be closed and I would be warned for it.

To top off this bizarre Hype!-ocrisy, celldog is black himself.

Like Lex.....He's only been here a few months & probably has like 40k.
No life.:o

So what about those people who do nothing but "capitalise" every single letter in their posts? To be honest if it irritates you just let it be because things you do might annoy others... just because some of us can type well and use the keys it doesn't mean everyone out there can... if there's something to be said it shouldn't matter if there is capitals or not as long as you can read it there's no problem

We're all annoyed with how others do things but if we make a thread like this is deemed as spam and it gets closed so double standards shouldn't apply either... if you don't like it deal with it, you don't know who's on the end of the posts so they might not have the capability due to an illness or whatever... best thing is to ignore what you don't like and get on with it

Yeah, Mr. Lex Luthor. :cmad:
 
What illness prevents you from hitting the shift key? :huh: or bumping a thread using a post filled with content rather than "bump" :huh: or saying something like "That was funny as hell!" instead of "lol" :huh:

It's not like I'm saying it's a bad thing. I seriously just wonder how people even MANAGE that. Because I think I spend far too much time on this website, mainly because none of my friends collect comic books, but I'm going on my fifth year here and haven't even reached 20K. And I post A LOT. I post in the spam threads, in the comic threads, in the movie threads, the tv threads. I'm here almost every day and sometimes spend hours upon hours here out of boredom....

I mean, it's just like...do people even eat? :wow:

A lot of that is because, well, some of it we don't see. Sure, we patrol, but we can't see everything. It's just as much your responsibility as a poster to report things that are violating the rules [not you SPECIFICALLY] as it is our job to do something about it. Personally, I've been really busy with some projects and I haven't been moderating as much. C. Lee, Dew, Morg and Doggy have been covering my slack [for which I thank them]. And for the record, no, I don't know who you're talking about.
