Online Forum Pet Peeves?

People who use weird, hard to read text.

Another annoying thing alot of people do online (and sometimes offline, but more often online) is totally misinterpret arguments, accidentally (because of sloppy reading comprehension or stupidity) or on purpose (to try and make someone's argument seem silly when it's completely reasonable).

For instance:

Person A: Although we as a society do agree on certain moral rules for the sake of keeping law and order, morality is ultimately subjective as it often varies from person to person.

Person B: So you're saying that murder is a good thing?

Ugh, it's so frustrating when people do that.

I encounter that so often in real life. Another example, in a similar vein, is when you are writing or explaining something online, people will almost always skirt round your main point and pick at something trivial like a spelling mistake,accidentalinconstancy, or something irrelevant/trivial to your argument or what you were trying to say. I find that irritating.

Pseudo-intellectuals and fanboys/girls.

Trolls are my pet peeve! :x

Yeah, it's really annoying and it reeks of desperation.

People who only post "yes" or "no" People who spam rubbish to increase their post counts People who have "hot" women in their avatars/sigs. (Yes, I find this annoying) SnitchesTommyWieseau81

Sorry :(.

I only post on GS, so here it goes:

1. Religion threads

2. People making threads about how they feel music (or anything else) back then is better what we have now

People who dodge f***ing hypothetical questions with smartass remarks. Example:

"hey guise, would you rather evolve tentacles or super ears?"

"Neither, because evolution doesn't work that way."

Long ass quote chains.
Quotes of large pictures/tl;drs in their entirety.
Really large post counts that don't belong to Jandurin.
:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:oops::oops::oops::oops::oops::oops::oops:
Pseudo-intellectuals.
When people continuously complain about an abused thread topic ALL. THE. TIME.
ACTUAL abused thread topics.
...this...gets...a...little...old...

I could go on.

When a user goes to thread after thread just to find fault with others.

This, the yes and no crap especially is a pet peeve of mine, its all about increasing the post count but you'd really think it'd be more time saving to not even click on a thread if you're just going to give some 1 worded answer lol

[QUOTE="katana_duo"]When people quote something and say This.xxKai

^This

When people start a new thread and all they write is "Topic."

One time I clicked on a thread, and all the TC wrote was "t." :evil:

How people are so fixated on trying to be witty and clever.

Religion threads. My biggest pet peeve. Amnesiac23

- people who use emicons after everything they write

- people who try to be funny, like this thread for instance someone said a pet peeve of theirs were people who just write "this"well 2 people grab his quote and under his quote wrote this. har har har you did the one thing he hates, so funny

- sigs that slow down my computer, either compress it or change it.

- when people create threads with questions that could easily be googled.

People that call me all sorts of derogatory and inflammatory names because they know I cannot physically beat them to death here

Anime sigs and avatars.

yes this

Like someone else said earlier...big signatures. I especially hate the ones that are taller then they are wider. Not saying people should go fix theirs, but it just bothers me.
