What do you HATE about Forums? (Just for laughs)

Lynchit

For me personally, its Pretentious Pre-teen Forum-goers.

I'm sure you've all had run-ins with these types before, but in case you haven't, let mean explain what I'm getting at.

Pretentious Pre-teen Forum-goers, or PPFs as I like to call them plague virtually every forum you'll ever look at.
Some traits that define a PPF are as follows:


Excessive use of a Thesaurus (that dictionary thing in MS word)
Pointing out tiny grammatical errors in other peoples posts
Common usage of 'First and Foremost' in posts
Long preachy posts that have little to do with the topic
Questioning other members intelligence on a regular basis
Heavy, heavy criticism of another's ideas or work (especially annoying in a topic that doesn't ask for this kinda criticism)
Extremely pessimistic outlook
Illusions of superiority
Suck up to Trolls (forum bullies who spark off argument for the fun of it)
Usually mature into trolls when they learn to insult and argue at the same time
Differ from noobs in that they really don't know when to shut up
Common usage of 'consequently' where it doesn't even make sense
Quite unfriendly
Extremely opinionated, but not willing to listen to a sound argument
Most common among 11-15 year olds


Quotes of PPFs taken from various forums:

12 Stones are not really good at all. Who are you?

Are you a necrophiliac? I think you are, because this thread has not been posted in in about eighteen months, jackhole.

Gay game this is stupid Xbox Rules

PS3 is the only true next gen experience

Playstation? More like GAYstation!

First and Foremost, I own all consoles, consequently i think know what im talking about, noob

Explodingly is not word! OMG everyone here is retarted!!!

First and Foremost, I'm gonna just break it to you: you can't write/draw/moderate/think


They are a plague.

People who complain on forums is what I hate about forums.

Sarky

Chat threads. HELLO IS NOT A VALUABLE CONTRIBUTION YOU ASININE PLEBEIANS

Storminateacup

Your post is what's wrong with the Internet.

Also - am I the only person who doesn't know what a thesaurus is? It sounds like a dinasour. Rawr.

Sarky

Your FACE is what's wrong with the internet!

Your ma is what's wrong with the internet.

I hate mashed potatoes. They're just too lumpy.

Roast or boiled is fine, but mash?

Disgusts me.

Storminateacup

Mash is good. And garlic.


Corks accent ruins it for them. Some spot for a session though.

Cicero

garlic with a Cork accent just sounds silly...

I like chat threads, I like emoticons and I like rolly eyes. And pictures and what I don't like doesn't matter, I don't need to disagree, try to humiliate, embarrass or harass others to feel important - I just don't bother to pay attention to those who do.

Sarky

Being passive agressive though, that's awesome.

Deki

Whatever makes you happy pappy.

Having a different opinion in an open forum from the masses and getting banned for my trouble.

Like being anti religious in an after hours forum which is a automatic ban in the religious forum, that sort of thing.

And having little children constantly ask for evidence ~ you know they have not lived too long, I guess that's what's in the OP's post.

angel01

People criticising you purely based on how posts you have and if your postcount is substantial, you get thrown the usual line... "You must have no life"

If you have a keen interest on a particular subject like a soap opera, you must work on it, or have connections to it....


aargh...:mad:

Deki

needs more duckies

Sarky

The worst part about complaining about something on the internet?

Telling your parents you're gay.

hondasam

Mods hate the lot of them, have yet to meet a nice one.

Always bragging about their ban hammer, no evidence to back it up.

Storminateacup

Love the pc police. Nawtttt.

And to be fair angel -- some posters on a certain Irish soap thread are bordering on obsessively stalkerish.

Sarky

This is not a place to bitch about people behind their backs. Or to their fronts, for that matter.

It's good to be bitched about, it means someone cares

I hate the lack of extra terrestrial visitors to forums.
