*sigh*

i noticed. I dont agree with that lock at all.

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.

as with life, the few ruin it for the many. Thank you though Mod for some sort of reason.

I say get rid of all of that.

Get rid of Political Threads? They are the only threads on th9is forum that are worthwhile. 70% of the rest is utter nonsense...kind of like this thread

Yeah, I know. They are generally a good thing. The problem is that few people actually think about what they post. They're filled with

"George Bush = suk"
"...more moronic democat follies"
"Nuke North Korea"
"US am evil"

I dunno. Maybe not get rid of the threads, but "encourage" morons not to post. Maybe with prize vacation giveaways!

Also - I hate the new quote feature. It makes reading long threads a pain in the ass when people quote a 5 page post, and then add a sentence of their own and then another hundred people do it after them. Uhg!

I agree

 

[n0cmonkey]

I hate it when people post something stupid, reply to my reply, their thread gets locked, and I cant taunt them because they did not enable PMs.

I like the new quoting system, but I can't stand the morons who have to constantly quote. If you reply with a quote, edit the quote so the most important line is there.

I hate when people repeatedly say something you said you hate.

Nuff said.

Yeah, that's what I was trying to say above. And "teh" is my own worst typo, it drives me nuts every time I do it.

:Q:|

 

[DevilsAdvocate]

Here is my list:

1. Teh -in any form.
2. REPOST!
3. Elite Hacker - in any form.
4. Staples deals where I have to call 21 different reps until I find the one idiot that did not get the memo.
5. Any thread about pimples, simple body functions, or things that just should not be shared in polite society.
6. Legal question threads - there are 50 states. The law varies - ask a lawyer in your state.
6. Any threads where people ask if a man shaving body hair is gay.
7. Ghey
8. Woo woo!
9. w00t!
10. Thread crapping.
11. Homophobic threads.

I'm sure that there is more.

If the statement was good enough, then it really doesn't need solidification.

I personally think people say it because they are too lazy to explain what they are talking about (or they don't know).

This one bugs me too.

People who reply with a bunch of emoticons.

 

[pulse8]

When people make threads that require an update and then don't put the update in the original post.

It gets me even more when they add, "update on page 2 somewhere."

 

[mpitts]

Bump.

'Nuff said.

I would not say it pisses me off. Its rude and annoying.

EDIT: I did have to check mine to make sure it still conformed to the 4 lines or less rule
