    I hate when people jump on an OP just because the thread was already done not long before.

    By the way OP, this thread was already done recently, FFS!!

    Oh, and rolleyes is the worst smiley.

    Maybe you should have said nazi mods who let their "power" go to their heads?
    or how about people who post a stupid reply or email a mod to rat on you?

    Those posts or threads that are so daft or logically flawed that they make you have to facepalm, and lose a bit of hope for humanity.

    Boards is usually fine, its AH that annoys me the most, specifically people being wrong and not listening when I helpfully explain to them how to be right... people who disagree with my opinions essentially.

    What annoys me most about boards is the condescending, put downs,snobbery,class wars and general **** acting that you all do and only for me the boards.ie forum would be nothing.

    One click modding without reading the context.

    I hate when people mistake boards for a chatroom.
    Oh, and the new skin.

    Hate this:

    Feeling like I warped back in time and feeling like the forum is run by a 1998 webmaster.
    Yea, I know we have a new shiney skin, but make it the default already!

    We have put up with this default skin for too long.


  • Posts: 50,630 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]

    What, since January?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,207 ✭✭✭The King of Moo


    People who complain about thanks.

    People who obnoxiously use :rolleyes:.

    People who start threads entitled "Why was my thread locked?" or "Is Facebook down for everybody else?"

    People with stupid opinions who confuse being disagreed with or being corrected with "ganging up." Such people tend to imagine cliques and people being on high horses when they're only correcting them. They tend to be unable to argue or accept criticism.

    Whenever I write a stupid post.

    Whenever I'm condascending towards someone.* *they usually deserve it

    Threads that assume everyone lives in Dubalin.

    As already mentioned, the rubbish trolls, especially the really rubbish ones who give up so easily and close their accounts after about ten posts.

    Even worse are the people who look like trolls but actually seem to have convinced themselves that they actually believe the vile nonsense they spout.

    Threads with lots of embedded youtube videos that make me worry my computer's going to explode.

    Controversial threads that get locked while I'm in the middle of typing out a really long post. *fingers crossed*


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,301 ✭✭✭Daveysil15


    The way you can't resurrect old threads, yet you also can't post a similar one. What do you do in that situation?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,104 ✭✭✭Swampy


    AH has gone way too high brow over the years.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,689 ✭✭✭Tombi!


    The flirting in AH.

    Yeah, that bugs me too. I've seen some mods close threads that are 6 months old, even though starting a brand new thread to discuss the subject would be meaningless.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,788 ✭✭✭✭krudler


    When a thread on AH could generate some decent discussion or be funny and the first few replies are of the "yore ma/pissblasting/not another one of these" replies without adding fcuk all to the topic, funny first post answers are great, put in the effort.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,844 ✭✭✭py2006


    Annoying posters who think everybody else has issues when in fact its them..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,080 ✭✭✭✭Micky Dolenz

    Posters who think they gain 1000 internets by replying to a good thread in one-line sentences

    Or anyone who is scared to invest too much time writing a lengthy reply because they're not getting paid for their literary skills, and feel their talent is wasted. 1000 Internets is only gained by contributing insightful thoughts.

    Yeah seriously, the quality of modding on this site is atrocious in places. I've seen them stomp about over everything and anything, almost on a total whim. Some threads are threatened with infractions and locks for making tiny deviations. I recall another thread where four or five posters got threatened with bans because they challenged the mods over why they were making their presence felt when it was totally unnecessary.

    It really spoils reading the forums at times and makes me less inclined to post, as it's not worth the agro :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,533 ✭✭✭Jester252


    I don't like how it never lets me do any work


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,919 ✭✭✭✭Gummy Panda


    Threads that assume everyone lives in Dublin.

    But if you don't leave in Dublin, how do access the internet in the savage wastelands?

    This place is a lot, lot better than one site I visit. Here you get a fair chance. Other places, you don't. As for the point you made about challenging the mods, yeah, so? It's against the rules, PM them.

    Could you possibly change your username to Whoopsy?:confused:

    I had to go up once to get my passport. While there, I tied a piece of string to to a mobile broadband dongle, and spooled it out from the back of the cart on the way home.

    It's a bit slow, but I get the important stuff along the line in dribs and drabs.
    I finally finished downloading my first LOLCAT.

    I don't get it.

    I did think about it, and after I became a mod it got even bigger, and apparently with the new skin it's even worse (I'm still on the old beta skin), but I mentioned changing it a few times and there were more boardsies against me changing it than for me changing it, so it's stayed the same. I may reconsider soon though :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,940 ✭✭✭✭Rothko


    The constant dole bashing threads


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,445 ✭✭✭jd83


    Generally I like boards, I suppose my only pet hate is people who feel the needs to trawl through the site looking for posts with spelling or grammar mistakes and post condescending posts about this.

    Apart from that nothing really annoys me on here. I love boards!
