Annoying stuff YOU do on forums

[thingymuwatsit]

-misuse its and it's
-never read the original post on a forum, therefore posting what was first said
-endlessly rant over things that seem interesting to you
add some more things that people on forums do to (or accidentally) annoy you.

 

[Socius]

Uhm, I guess I can have the habbit of not knowing when to stop writing and thus creating really big threads. and if someone annoy me I get a little mean

 

[Timotei]

I, use, commas, a, lot.

And, separate, my, statements, too.

 

[tomtom94]

I can come across as a bit of a dick.
I also try and be humourous too often.

 

[SeksEin]

I like to use ellipsis... a lot...

 

[hyperhammy]

I can't always express myself in the right way.

 

[Sacman]

post random videos for no adequately explained reason...

 

[micheil3]

I never ever post

 

[thingymuwatsit]

except for those two times...

 

[Sonofadiddly]

I do multiple posts in a row. I'm sorry, but if I see a post that I want to respond to, I'm not going to read everyone else's response first. And then if I see a second post I want to respond to, it's slightly easier just to start a new post than to have to copy what shows up after I press the "quote" button into the edit post box.

 

[BiscuitTrouser]

As much as i preach against fanaticism im pretty fanatical when i get caught up in the arguement. In real life i feel the need to be right all the time regardless of the cost and i bring it onto here to. I should start letting stuff go.

 

[Shockolate]

I constantly go back and change my posts.

I never word my posts correctly the first time.

I am often unsatisfied with my initial post and change it multiple times.

I usually come up with something better after I've already made the post that's completely different.

Nothing, my posts are art.

Troll-and Troll Hard

I often revel at how awesome somebody's Avatar is.
nice L, by the way.

 

[Betancore]

I am guilty of run-ons. I also have a tendency to write very long replies to posts. Wait, is this thread for annoying things that we do on forums, or for things on forums that annoy us?

 

[Hstgonzo]

The original is better-it's animated.

 

[RaphaelsRedemption]

I can be a respect nazi. Seriously, if I think you were rude, I WILL report you, and possibly quote you with a rebuke too...

I also use too many trailing full stops...

And emoticons

too bad you couldn't get the theme on it.

I'm with this guy, to the point where, I know it's kind of frowned upon to double post, but I feel it makes things more readable, if you're making two or more seperate points.

It's usually as he said however, in response to two seperate people.

Oh, once a thread hits more than about 3 pages, I tend to read the 1st then last page, instead of all of it, then just slap my opinion down anyway, there's only so much time in the day!

The main thing that annoys me in other posts tho is when opinions turn into personal hate aimed at another poster, take it easy, it's very rarely worth getting that mad, and usually it's just an opinion, not the entire person, argue rationally against their view, not their existence (Strangely sunny viewpoint coming from me, I know.)

 

[SenseOfTumour]

Oh and as if I'm just doing this to prove my above point, I tend to have a habit of linking weird or amusing videos to threads, sometimes as an attempt to defuse something getting all too serious, and sometimes just because I think more people need to see it

I linked this one in the 'dream job' thread, but I'm gonna do it again, because the arrogance of celebrity chefs who think a braised carrot is more important than the psychological welfare of their staff need a good kicking.


And a bit more Ramsay ridicule, just because I can:
