    The thanks system and the way it has changed posting... Seems to be especially noticeable in AH with way too many try hards injecting some lame humour into proceedings...

    "Your favourite xxxxxx" threads, which have pretty much no scope for discussion. Fair play to mods like KH who don't tolerate that kind of crap.

    The fact that they even allowed the hunting forum to be created... Absolutely ****ing disgusting stuff!

    People posting faux humour stories like that "hang sandwich" one anywhere outside of the humour forum... Lame!

    "Grammer nazis" (sic)... If you're going to complain about somebody elses grammar, at least make sure that you can spell properly yourself!

    seems a grand site. The good stuuf is out weighing the bad for me.

    I don't like all the people commenting on NI matters when they do not have a clue. Media gleened facts are just that :rolleyes:

    The personal issues having a lot of unqualified people, kids and misfits handing out advice like the know things when it is just their thoughts/experiance is scary on way too many levels for my liking

    I can see how the one law for mods and one for users can be an isuue sometimes.

    all in all it is a grand wee site.

    I can't spot sarcasm so I hope that wasn't sarcy :P.
    Every thread has the option to add 'tags' to describe it. If a thread was about a hospital in dublin, the tags could be "hospital, health, dublin" etc.

    Javaboy's on about people abusing these tags and adding unneccessary things, for example "scumbags, thiefs" or just nonsense that he has to delete from tags for threads in AH

    sorry mate just as i was reading your post I saw the tag bar at the bottom, :) but it is empty, maybe why that is why I didn't notice it before.

    I can understand what java meant now. thanks.

    I hate the way a newbie will post a comment or a general question and some human/computer hybrid will within three minutes deliver a scathing remark/derogatory opinion/out-and-out soulcrushing insult upon the OP.

    I'm all for witty banter and merry pi$$taking, and the majority of posters seem sound, but wow, there is an awfully bitter minority waiting in the wings, just dying to wave their ge-net-alia in a Fresh Fish's face.

    So, short answer: @$$holes giving well-meaning posters sh1t.

    (PS I don't think I've had the privilege of being intershat on yet, in case I seem wounded:pac:)

    Hate that too, AH is probably worse for that. The mods do a decent job of moving threads but some people have no cop!

    Maybe something like this? http://michaelwender.com/2008/10/09/new-gmail-feature-are-you-sure-you-want-to-sent-that/

    :p

    To be fair, the majority of people here are lovely and welcoming to 'newbies'. I was intimidated at first, but got talking to a few people via PMs (not gonna stroke their e-penis, but they know who they are, and I appreciate it :)).
    It's quite a nice feel here in AH minus a few idiots, it can just take a while to settle it.. I'm a bit too settled in already :P

    Having recently been the subject of an RIP thread that questioned my sexual prowess among other things, I can confirm that dead people do have feelings and the fawning "gloss over every bad thing they did/child they screwed" type posts are much less hurtful. Smug and wanky as they may be.

    To be fair, java, hardly any of that thread was about you in the end
