What really annoys you about people here?

Hi,
I was wondering what exactely pissed you off about people in the forums, if anything.
Its not a moan, or a chance for anyone to single people out, just a way to show everyone what annoys you, and with a bit of luck, some of it can be cut out.

Here are mine.

1) People who think that they are professionals in a certain area and profess to be able to tell the differences between things. For example with monitors some ppl think that they can tell the miniscule differences between image qualitys, or with soundcards, when people think that they can tell the difference between music on a audigy and music on a terratec. There are some people that can do this, but very very few can. And alot of them make it out that the small differences are huge and are vastly noticeable.

2) The constant praising of certain companies. Like 3DFX and Bit-boys. Both companies brought out great products but they arnt the gods of gfx, and shouldnt be treated as such.

3) People who decide to enter a thread and posts an insulting comment about a statement that they belive is wrong, which then turns into a flame match, even if the person that got it wrong in the first place admitted it was wrong.

4) People who consider the X-Box to be the holy grail of home entertainment. Its a good console, with good games, but it aint that good. Just admit it, its a simplified PC.

5) The fact that some people dont respect other peoples opinions, and agrue constantly until the other person has the same opinion as them. An example was a thread a while back about Unreal2, where a couple of people there would not shut up complaining becuase a few other people actually liked the game.

6) People who think that HL is still the best game out. They have their own opinion on HL and i respect that, but arguing that every other game still doesnt compare to HL is just sad. Like above, respect other people opinions of things.

7) People who consider a frame rate of 30fps to be jerky. Remember people 25fps is all thats needed for the human eye to percieve something as smooth.


Thats all that i can think of thus far.
Now its your turn.
 
lol.
Seriously though, lets here comments on what annoys you lot, and comments on previously posted annoyiences.
 
People that ask stupid questions. Google is your mother fvcking friend. Same for common sense. "How do you prounounce TV?" "My car exploded....what's wrong with it?" "YAGT: My GF left me for a guy who actually treats her right....why?"

Thats a good one.
People who ask blindly obvious questions. Why do it? They know that they`re just going to get a sarcastic comment off someone posted back.
 
- People who act like complete tools because you have a different opinion about something. I'm all for debate, but not when it descends to a 3rd grade level.

- Pointless flames

- People who make stupid arguments for or against something.

Exactly, then they get pissed off when you crap in their thread.

And then they start an arguement back about you stating something so obvious that they should actually know and complian about the sarcasm.

 
1. People who post when they have nothing to say.
2. People who think a message board is an AOL chatroom.
3. People who can't wait to yell "Repost!". If they don't get to be the first one to say it, they post it anyway. Often the same people as in #1 above.
4. People who think posting "Pics?" is even remotely humorous any more.
 
The fact that like everything else that was unique and interesting this forum was discovered by idiots and buffoons and dragged down to their level. It should have been expected though as it was inevitable that the AOL Chatroom Kiddies would eventually migrate like a cockroach infestation.
 
Keep `em coming guys/gals.
These are all good and valid points that were making.

What about people who dont use the seach feature, and so post a topic, that got discussed a few days earlyier. Thats annoying as well.

I believe you're talking about the Penny Arcade forums. This place hasn't descended to such an abysmal level yet. 😀

If you were around before Fusetalk I think you'd have a different opinion.

Hey that's the way things go. It's not only this site but all sites.
 
I usually don't get too annoyed in OT, but in hotdeals, one thing that really annoys me is when you try to add to a thread and get flamed for it. Example:

hot deal: TDK 40x burner, $70

and in the thread, you post "check out this deal, $20 for a cendynne 40x burner, and it may be a Lite-On"

Then, some person seems to think for whatever reason that you're attacking the TDK brand and find Lite-On to be oh so much superior. When, all you meant to do was say (and really, all you said) is "hey, $50 cheaper, and the difference between them isn't that big a deal... consider it."

Im not quite sure what that means so i`ll take it as a sarcastic comment and/or you are trying to prove a point from one of the other comments.

Sarcasm definately. What difference should it to you whether the topics been posted about before? Just ignore it. The repost police surely will let the author know

Yeah, pretty much. ATOT is entertaining for now, so it keeps me coming back during slow periods at work and whatnot. At least ATOT has the benefit of moderation, which helps keep the crap level down a little.
 
3dFX and BitBoys are the best, and HL is the best game out but playing at 30 fps is waay too jerky. Hail X-Box. Believe me for I am all knowing.

(note: if you did not read the first post then ignore the previous statements entirely, thank you)
