Signature Police or as they call themselves "SigPo". Some people really have too much time on their hands, so what if my sig image is five pixels too big?!?

When someone posts a story of injustice they've come across and people stand up against the wronged party and take the side of the scumbags/company, just to be a pain in the arse

Seeing posters with an earlier "Join Date".

True dat. Folks on here took one of the funniest lines from the Simpsons (back when the Simpsons was actually funny) and made it painfully unfunny.

That's quite an achievement.

i could say the same to you :P

my personal hate is spammers... least the kind that spam and over rehash the same stuff over and over again.... ie "yore ma" liners for the sheer sake of it. Used in context and rarely it can be ammusing...99 % of the time its used here... its any thing but ammusing

I hate that we can no longer ban posters who are obviously gob****es simply because they are, and instead we have to wait for them to contravene some code of conduct or **** on the charter or abuse another poster.

I hate it because it means I have to watch them so that when - and it's always when - they step out of line I have to ban them.

Seriously, it's like taking your stalker to court - the bastard gets what they want, which is to be in the same room as you.

i hate the way feedback works os well now. (probably a good thing)
I hate that lolcats are gone.

Other than that i like boards alot

sham08 · 09-10-2008 08:50AM

I hate (maybe its only my pc) but when you click on a thread that is maybe 10 pages long and it loads up on page 5 at the top for about 3 seconds then jumps down to the bottom of the page, when I scroll up to the top it jumps back down again, only then can I scroll or go to whatever page I want.

Does this happen to anyone else?

KTRIC · 09-10-2008 08:54AM

Everything, I'm sick of the site to be honest.

Mods please feel free to ban me / lock my account before i hurt someone.

Ah, I thought that only happened to me. I also hate that there's no return to top or forum on each post and I have to waste precious seconds battling to get to the top of the screen to go back to the post list.

It's because the threads are time stamped and if you click on one on the main page for example it takes you to where you last viewed the thread, not the actual last post, i.e. there may be 200 posts on the thread but if you've only read 160 of them according to the time stamp that's where you're taken,

If post 160 happens to be halfway down the page then so be it. The reason it jumps is because you've tried to scroll back up before the page has properly loaded.

EDIT: I could be wrong though!

Danbo! · 09-10-2008 09:09AM

Self-righteousness -
People in motors that say they have never once broken the speed limit, and think anyone else is scum.
People in Cycling that say they have never broken a red light, and think everyone else is scum.
Etc. Etc....

Also, posters who know each other offline from meet-ups or whatever and start talking to each other using first names, and their usernames are nothing like their real names.
Username 1: Hey everybody check this out
Username 2: Wow paul, thats great, wait til david and john see it
Username 3: HA, cool, thanks for that paul, and you're right peter that's great.

Also,
Lets say in a thread about weather or something -
Poster 1: Location: Meath: - God its flooding really bad here
Poster 2: Location: Offaly: - Yeah here too
Poster 3: Location: "insert something funny": -Wow guys, thats SOOOO wierd, its not raining here at all. Isnt that wierd?!??!

Hang on, what the hell do I like about this site?

Oh right, what about when you click onto a thread you have not looked at before, why does it do it then?

I hate power trippers who just because someone contravenes their narrow little area of interest or humour,immediately wants to ban them.
Then the coterie of like minded tits shoal around and the place reverts to what they want-dry as a witches tit;)

cant spell....don't you mean can't spell, much like you? Huh? Is that what you meant?

I hate how quick people are to judge other people, especially in PI and how the answer to everything is 'Walk away' or 'Dump him!'. I bet in a similar situation none of the people suggesting leaving actually would.

Oh and the ban on talking about that which shall not be named.
