Things you want banished from the internet forever

• Taylor Swift
• One Direction
• Stories about Ed Sheeran
• Selfies posted by people who are pretending that they're posting said selfie for any reason other than attention-seeking and "Like"-whoring
• Click-bait articles / websites (e.g. "You'll NEVER guess what happened next! Hint: It's not what you think!" and other variations of this)
• Terrible journalism (e.g. The Journal.ie, which would also qualify as a Click-bait site. Also the Daily Mail, and countless others)
• Videos of celebrities "surprising" regular people e.g. showing up at their weddings to play a song

Stupidity

PayPal

it is a short list.

Captcha.

I miss the days when you received a modem with poor instructions and you had to figure it all out yourself. It was like an entrance exam for the Internet. There were less stupid people on it back in those days. Now any ninny can get on and post their vitriol via twitter or other social network.

So:

Stupid people
Hatred
Vitriol in all its forms
Float over ads
Flash
Java applets

Edit: And Captchas. There are better ones like "Select the dog from these pictures" which are decent. The standard ^b*&o34a"!rds" crap which takes a real human three attempts to get right, can GTFO.

I must use a different Internet, not affected by a single one of those.....well maybe the click bait but there's a secret to dealing with it!

My only gripe is that screechy noise it makes when you connect up the first time

I go there to watch a video a friend sends me. 3 hours later I am watching a monkey in a dress skateboard.

Even if Paypal are that, it's eBay who are the real gouging underhanded enterprise.

In this thread: People mostly complaining about things they don't personally like, so would like them removed for everyone else. Even though they can just ignore them.

Spot on - frankly it's an attitude I'd gladly see the end of in general, not just limited to the Internet!

But hey, as we're brandishing the ban hammer, why not play along :

- The "fake!" brigade (anything they don't know or looks strange to them, must be fake and/or "CGI", like the Afghanistan 747 crash video from a while ago, or the Russian meteorite clips);
- Moon hoax conspiracy theories;
- Self-appointed "expert" videographers who can syndicate about pics/videos by the shadows only;
- Religious nutjobs derailing random discussions;
- Internet mob justice mentality (google "Cecil" for most recent example);
- Duckface photos!

The Twitter thought police.

muppetkiller

Popups on Steams
Video Ads that start randomly on popups.
Any news site that has an Advert video before the actual video you want to watch. Drives me F$%KING BONKERS. And they always play the same ad on every video no matter how many video clips are on the page.
I'm looking at you SKYNEWS/SKYSPORTS :mad: !!

K-9

This "*I'm looking at you", as in commenting on some website meme shyte.

Fcuking moronic shyte hawk behaviour.

Annoys me a tad.

I genuinely didn't see your post muppetkiller.

That's like hating raisins, being given a bowl of muesli and being told to just ignore them. This stuff is ****ing everywhere. Very hard to ignore.

It doesn't mean I want raisins removed from everyone's muesli, just that I'd prefer they weren't in mine.

"News" sites turn click bate sites that froth at the mouth with the sight of bad news.

If you don't like trolls that much, when you suspect them you can block them here

Tumblr and Twitter

Remove these and all that is wrong with the internet will disappear.
