Little things that annoy on you on boards...

jumpguy · 2009-12-18 21:13:15

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…

When a posters posts a comment that is somewhat meaninless or stupid, and get's like a ton of thanks.

People make comments just for thanks.

people who claim to be an expert on a topic in a debate, just because it makes them feel superior to the other posters. It dosen't really, it just makes you look like an egotistical twat.

Religous threads, nuff said.

People who post just for the sake of posting something negative about the OP and his topic, because they feel they'll get thanks for making the OP look like a fool.

People who look for the smallest most irrelevant thing on a person's post, and then criticise them over it.

I dislike when whole threads are made up of puns related to the original post.
Puns gets old after a while, particularly when they outnumber actual responses.

And what's with all this IBTL carry on. There's nothing stupider than seeing IBTL on the third or fourth post of a thread that now has 7 pages. (Although I'm probably guilty of that myself )

Don't you hate it when you put a post on the thread. Then nobody else posts anything else on the thread so it looks like you've killed the conversation.

When no one thanks your post when you clearly deserve it for having a witty/humorous comment.

It annoys me when a serious thread is started here and half of the first page is just a load of replies saying "this shouldn't be in AH"; "were you expecting a serious answer?"

Fuck off with that shite.. After Hours has had plenty of very successful debates/discussions on mature topics, replies like that just irritate me

People deliberately using lowercase "b"'s or "e"'s to spell words like "British" "England" etc but Capital letters for all other countries/nationalities.

The feminists who, not matter what the post, get numerous 'thanks'.

Same goes for some mods who think they're funny. You get the usual ****, unfunny response from one of the mods and they end up getting thanked by everyone. Not forgetting the sheep who click on that thumb.

The people who make excuses and defend the scumbag Nigerians and Romanians leeching off and conning the state of course. Leftist *****.

I particularly hate the phrase "absolute tripe"

What is tripe?

And the music forum is crap aswell. People seem to talk about Beyonce and Cheryl Cole in there for some strange reason.

I'm a member of alot of different forum sites, and am not too active on any of them, and the thing that i hate more than anything is people that get to technical with details, rules etc. I read forums daily, but am abit shy about posting and when i occasionally build up the confidence to post i get hammered by some troll about some mistake in my post or that i'm braking some obscure nonsense rule. So for me, it's the general feeling of hostility or snobbishness i get when reading forums.
