Can you even tell the difference from that and all the suspensions I've been getting?
Cus I can't Y_Y
My biggest pet peeve is when I am trying to convince someone I am right and then they go ahead and systematically destroy my arguments piece by piece. It doesn't usually change my mind but it makes clinging to my preexisting set of ideals a lot more uncomfortable, at least for a little while...

The mods are doing you a favor. Quit complaining :xI'm annoyed by people who constantly post pics to describe things. I do it occasionally, but some people here seem to think it will make them seem cool or popular.
Your sig is pretty freaking awesoome man. :lol: I like using the :P face. ha, thanks. I want to try that...I don't like feeling like I'm spamming smilies while at the same time feeling like I have to use smilies in order to let people know, beyond doubt, that I am not actually serious about the non-serious things I say.
But my biggest pet peeve is probably the haters. Or actually the people who are swayed into hatin' by the haters.
Also feeling like I can't say or do what I want for fear of being accused of being an attention-seeking girl. Just because I'm a girl.
And now a new added one - being made to feel totally paranoid in a community I thought was based on lulz.

This reminds me of a very good point I forgot about regarding emoticons.
Sometimes you have to use emoticons in order to avoid a moderation when telling a joke. That can get somewhat annoying.
I want to be able to belittle people if they deserve it, but I can't even do that unless I put in one of those emoticon things that are all the rage these days.
I like OT. It's a great distraction from work.
There are interesting folks, some interesting topics, and a decent amount of lulz.
If you post enough, then you're bound to rub at least a few the wrong way, yet hopefully one or two the right way.
It there's anything I come across in OT that I don't like, I head on over to a different thread.
If I were ambitious, I suppose that I could even create my own.
Do I over-use smilies? Am I just one of the annoying attention seeking girls? Am I one of the people who derails the threads because I reply to certain people who particularly crack me up? Am I not allowed to talk more to the people I've built up relationships via PMs or PSN or whatever? I dunno. *shrugs* Since this is the opportunity to apparently be honest, I really do dislike new users who come in here and start complaining about what people say and how things are. Sorry but there are certain things here that are somewhat established, but nobody is more important here, or has more right than others to be heard or dictate the way things are - especially newcomers. If you don't like it you don't have to join in the community. I has a sad....do tell :?

But I see what you are saying...though I had not heard anything about pm's and psn being bad until now. Recent events have brought to light just how much I annoy some people...which is fine. I would rather have things out in the open. Lots of people annoy me as well. Better to have it out in the open than keep up all these false niceties/pretenses. I saw 'screw it'. Have fun with your friends here, try not to be a dick to people (in my case), try to stay within the rules, and ignore people that bother you ...at least that is my new attitude. As soon as this place is no longer fun, I am out. And if I stop being me, that will be the case. Though I will say that I get annoyed with being called out and not really being able to retaliate (if I want to stay afloat here)
[QUOTE="t3hrubikscube"] -Excessive emoticon usage TeenagedI hate that too, but mostly I hate it when I feel like using them. I just fear of getting misunderstood. =/ But we kind of have to now...must make 100% sure it is taken as a joke (not by the people you are talking to [they will know], but by others that like to report [see my thread o it])

You didn't use an emoticon to show if you were serious or not. So, not sure if serious.
[QUOTE="taj7575"][QUOTE="Snipes_2"]
When I'm arguing with someone and they put words in my mouth...which happens often.
When People are losing an argument and cannot make a counterpoint so they change the subject or claim "I win, You lose".
Stuff like that.

It must be hard when almost everyone posting in the thread is arguing with you, and yet they're all wrong, right?
Sarcasm? I have noticed there is a small minority that agree with each other or just don't like specific users and they band together in debate threads against one person. Problem is they invariably aren't debating the subject. So they aren't really making any points. I'd hope lurkers pick up on that.Why do you hope lurkers pick that up (assuming its true of course)?[QUOTE="Teenaged"][QUOTE="t3hrubikscube"] -Excessive emoticon usage rawsavonI hate that too, but mostly I hate it when I feel like using them.

A fair amount of users "Assume" things from my posts. I find it annoying, when you claim "I win, You lose" you're essentially saying "I don't know how to counter that, but I don't want to say I'm wrong" so.. Where did I say they were wrong?Assuming isnt always wrong. Its only wrong when the result is a straw man. Assumptions can be correct.ROFLThe_LWR*awaits for moderation* Oh well I hope honesty is appreciated. At least I can name people at least once and not vaguelly point fingers towards the crowd and be safe in the process. And when I do, at least at the same time I am honest about myself as well (as much as I can). I hope lurkers pick that up!!!! [spoiler] Yes I am talking to you lurkers, oh mighty observers of internet discussions! [/spoiler]

It is appreciated. Problem is mods might not like it much.Dystopian-X
I wish we could have a thread that allowed us to air out all the dirty laundry...too be perfectly honest with people and about things here.
...we could make it to where you are only able to talk about people that gave their okay or something

It is appreciated. Problem is mods might not like it much.Dystopian-XI dont expect anything different moderation-wise and I dont mind it. Its just that I hear a lot of whining from some users that people dont express their opinion about them to their face or that they do it behind their backs and whatnot.
Several things actually annoy me on here, but I don't really want to point them out....It's not as if they agitate me to no end, they'll just make me roll my eyes from time to time. I try to be a passive person and just put up with it in silence :P
I'd love that. Even if it was just once, it'd be awesome to make. Same! Many lulz would be had. Plus, I think I already know who raw's first target would be :lol:[QUOTE="rawsavon"]

Exactly. It happens behind our/their backs. I wouldn't mind bringing it up here but that's exactly what happens when you try to censor everything and make it look like it's all dandy when there are actually some underling issues nobody wants to talk about in fear of getting in trouble.
Oh well.

The instances I am talking about were not in secret and the person being discussed had an account at the site the talking was going on. Hardly behind one's back. The ironic is person x whining about this while they know what the ToU states, as if those who arent honest about them here, are doing it out of the will to do it behind their back. Very convenient logic....
