Ok trolls aside what things online do you find incredibly annoying?

Personally when I see a video with the audio not synced up correctly I find it almost unbearable. I don't really know why I feel this way, but it's incredibly annoying to me.

Serifed text :x It is due to the corporations that profit from the extra pixels... fortunately Gamespot seems to not be influenced by the lobbyists at Big Font.

People who go out of their way to talk crazy **** behind a keyboard when they're generally a pizza-faced 16 year old dweeb.

People who post their PC specs. Well done, you have a computer that's faster, as if anyone cares.

Porn with no sound.

When posters are like that girl is not even that hot when she is probably way out of their league anyways.

People who take the internet to seriously.

The moral crusaders that try to press their point of views on things that aren't even related to the topic at hand like spinning things to a political rant and people that assume that if you don't know the slightest thing about anything you are automatically an idiot and should have your hands chopped off.

Forums that require you to make an account to view images attached to posts.bededog

this one gets me too.

also people who throw around big words to sound smarter in a debate.
people who use words out of the proper usage, this mainly applies to "a" and "an".
people who use terms like "plox" or "soz" instead of typing out please or sorry.
people who throw around the word ignorant asan answer to a question. example:a topic about why some people thinkX is wrong. first post "becuase there ignorant". :x

Meh... I hardly did anything. In threads like, "Who is the most/best ____ in the world" a lot of people answer with "me" or their own username. I just did the same thing, it's not my fault it caught on. =[

I don't like it when people complain too much about minor spelling and grammar mistakes. I'm no fan of redundant apostrophes either, but let's forget about it, there's no need to tell people off for small typing errors.

also tvwithoutpity.com god that place irks me to no end. I swear if your opinion is different from the general consensus of the rest of the board about a tv show, especially if its a positive opinion it would seem, you get modded. God forbid I enjoy an episode of House or The Office and try and talk about it over there.

only time I bother people about that kind of stuff is if they make a thread about how stupid people annoy them. Not if they have a specific story just a general hate topic.

The mods are insane yes. The posters are unruly. Also they love topics with things i can't stand. Incest and succubuses are some of their favorite things to talk about. Also the trolls are great. They make you super angry yet avoid ban.

I remember one troll on the GTA:SA board that was like that, he was annoying and the GF mods didn't (or maybe couldn't) do a damn thing about him and everyone blamed fastesttruck because we all thought he was the culprit (he wasn't). We tried to turn to the GS mods for help but they ignored my plea on ATM :cry: But then I stopped caring about trolls and saw his funny side
