What message board trends or habits do you find annoying? It could be message boards in general or even if it's specifically this forum.
Making a post as short as possible.
- This is especially annoying when the post is no more than a couple of words and provides very little use whether it be "No." or "Lol." It's even worse when the users go through the trouble of making hidden text or upload a very small blank image to bypass a character limit.
Bypassing curse word filters.
- I always find it a little funny whenever I find users swear (particularly on this forum) because they used extra effort to bypass the filter just so we can see the swear.
"Old."
- Always common and almost always unnecessary, especially when the news is only a few minutes or hours old.
Quitting Threads.
- Usually this is annoying, especially when users brag about how much better their life is just from taking a step outside of their house. It's also pretty funny when they brag about how they quit one game to play another game. There's also the common "I quit. I'll only log on every once in a while to chat with friends. Or to see new updates. Or check out some events. Maybe to train a little bit when I'm bored but not a lot. Or I'll just gain a few % a week. Ok guys I'm back."
Use the search function.
- A user makes a thread asking a question about something they don't know. Sometimes users respond by saying to use the search function. This isn't bad, except then the question is very simple and could easily be answered in addition to the search function note.
Grammar Nazis.
- Being annoyed when people use alternate caps, all caps or completely unique ways of spelling words like "wut up brah" is understandable. however getting openly pissed off and losing respect for someone simply for ignoring capitalization or punctuation is a bit much. its usually something that points to self esteem issues
