So what do people do on this (or any) forum that you can't stand?

Personally, I hate it when someone says "'Nuff said.".

If there was enough said, then why do you feel the need to add "'Nuff said."?

I'm tired of having my giant orange bomb thread locked. I think the moderator on duty is French.

I'm tired of hatred towards the French and wanting to bomb them with your small penis compensator. They don't agree with the American point of view so big fvcking deal.

ricer bashing is old, geeks bashing every hot girl (or any girl for that matter) someone posts about thinking they're better etc etc..

or like that 350z thread everyone bashing him both here and that other forum when the guy is obviously new to the car doesn't make him a standard expert, (i didnt know about the ebrake thing either and i can drive manual but have never owned one)..

things like that.

and agreeing with bush re; iraq.. :)

I hate it when people count down to a lock when they think a perfectly decent and interesting thread is going to be locked. Hell, I think sometimes a thread could be borderline and when people start mentioning locks it may cause the mod to go ahead and lock it when they might have given it a chance otherwise.

I hate it when posts in a thread being with "You're an idiot." That pretty much makes the rest of the post pointless to read.

One thing I dislike is when I see kiddies putting down their parents. Maybe because I am a parent myself, I dunno, but it gets to me when I see those...

I don't like repost police really.. unless it's really, really beaten to death.
I don't like the fashionable rice bashers either...

Having my post on Civ3 titled "My cat started a war with the French last night..." locked (almost immediately) simply because it mentioned going to war with the French. I was talking about a video game here mods....

*sigh*


You have idiots like iwearnosox to thank for that. If those like him were able to refrain from their idiotic French bashing we wouldn't be flooded with PM's from other users complaining about their absolute stupidity.

I get irked by huge, un-snipped quotes so I have to scroll through page after page of hourglass formations to read one line of text in each. Learn to edit people! ;)

Posting in the wrong forum.
Going around posting in every thread some useless reply like "hmmm..." just to up the postcount.
Harassment via PM if someone doesn't agree with you, that carries over to terrorization of my own forum, guestbook, email, etc.

I personally didn't see a reason to lock that thread other than the lame flames that were going on in there. But that can be any thread.

People who:

- bash ricers / SUVs (it's getting old and repetitive)
- call other people names like "You're an idiot/moron/etc." (it really doesn't make you look any better)
- repeat "repost" in a thread after it's been said already
- have to get the last word in, just because
- constantly post sarcastically ALL THE TIME

-Attention whores
-Political threads (yes, I get sucked into them too)

I say get rid of all of that.
