Pet forum peeves - what are yours?

What are your pet peeves? What really grinds you up the wrong way. Not in an everyday life sense, but the things people say/do/post on forums, TA in particular. Mine are as follows.

- Americans who assume that everyone on the Internet either lives in America, or is going to know where everything in America is. For instance, someone starting a thread in COR about going to UNI in the US.

i.e. - American: "Yo anyone from SOCAL down here heading up to UMSC in the fall".
Me: "What? That made absolutely no sense"
American: "Look I'm not stupid, I'm going to UMSC".
Me: "What the hell is UMSC?"
American: "Yo who's from SOCAL"

- People who insist on abbreviating & capitalizing each and every word.

i.e. - "Yo Y R U Goin 2 A Place Lik That Mang Ima ROFLZ"

- Excessive use of question marks or full stops.

i.e. - "ANywayz......i just.......wanted........to.........say.......that.......i.......often.....use
.......too.....much.....punctuation.....when......i.....post......things
.....on,,....forums.....yes.....forums????

Another example: "So YeAh (CaPiTaL LeTtErS)......who knows the name of the....song???????????????????????????????????"

Hrhr.

People enlarging their cyber-penises through negative remarks and/or elitism.

Posted by Tranc3 on Mar-06-2004 06:09:

Guess I should be more precise...People attacking other people for opinions or tastes. I responded to those threads like so because so many were created that day, and they were all commenting on how much they hated the fact that the threads were being made.

I hate when people type out ghetto slang in forums like:
"hey whatupz yo, dat whip hella tite"

I hate when foreign people have to keep making posts comparing american football to soccer and then chastize us because no one here likes it

i hate when people use extremely large signatures or signatures inappropriate for work

people calling everything cheese

The worst is stuff like:

HOUSE TECHNO - VIMANA (TRANCEMIX)

kind of along the lines of

Paul Oakenfold - Enervate.

Or when people have a liveset and it is like 10 DJ's in the filename. This isn't really a forum peeve, though.

When I was a Kazaa user a year or two ago, I used to encounter (and sometimes contribute to ) the proliferation of those; DANCE HOUSE RAVE TECHNO TRANCE DISCO POP BREAKBEAT TECHAZ MEGAMIX - ALICE DEEJAY - REMIX!.mp3 songs. I hereby hand my head in shame.

I AGREE, CAPS ARE ANNOYING, DON'T YOU THINK?

CaPiTaL LeTtErS are irritating as well.

CS haters are ok. Not a bad list, overall.

I don't mind what people do on the forums anymore. I try not to let it get to me. Unneeded stress i have plenty enough of it so who the fuck cares skip it, don't read it.
