    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.

    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!

    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.

    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".

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

    Just google the name FFS!

    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.

    elitism in certain forums.



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