    What are some of the things that drive you crazy about posts?

    My top three...

    3. People that include an entire Quote in their post, then comment on a small part of it.
    2. People that put their initials at the bottom of posts (it's kinda funny actually).
    1.People that comment after not completely reading a thread.

    What can we do to keep everyone happy? Help A Brother out!

    3) Agreed, just snip out what you aren't talkin about when you respond...I learned that from gettin flamed in Usenet for doin exactly that..

    2) Doesn't bother me...whatever ya know...

    1) No big deal..it just makes them seem stupid if the say something that was cleared up in the part of the thread they didn't read.

    My peeves...

    1)Ppl that don't bother to make their post readable...very bad spelling..(I'm not talkin about spelling mistakes, I mean when every word is badly mis-spelled)

    2) Trolls...if you don't have anything intelligent to add...don't post

    3)Ppl who rag on other ppl for expressing their opinions.. just because you don't agree it doesn't mean you have the right to flame em...

    I think you mean


    (....)

    DaDakota
    Mango
    etc.

    I have always been wondering why some guys put their name under each post when it's already next to it. I guess it's a habit from writing mails. Doesn't bother me, I just find it a bit odd :).

    Yeah, SJC...It's something that all these old geezers do that used to send letters via REGULAR mail...Remember regular mail?

    I bet there isn't a high school kid around that knows what a "salutation" is. :)

    Yeah, most high schools kids probably can't even write their name. Remember when people used to use a pen and paper??? :rolleyes:

    When people talk trash to you because they know you're not there to kick their ass.

    i strongly dislike:

    -long posts.
    -people who are jealous of cool posters like ninja poo and myself.

    ...and some other stuff that i will think of at a later date.

    It annoys me when people pad their post counts, if you have a high post count that does not make your points any more valid. . . . I am looking at you comic book guy:D

    people who think they could kick everyones ass in real life:rolleyes: we know we know, every one here is real *tuff* and can bench over 300 pounds. . . .

    People who cant understand sarcasim, I mean blatant sarcasim.

    ohhh and trolls, I hate trolls. they ruin good threads about music with a stupid comment about Ming being a bust. . . or something like that.

    People who get off topic or post stupid rediculous responses.
    People who carry on conversations like its an IM.

    This is rather one of the more mature boards. I visit some where responses vary from "w0rd" to "i agree" or other pointless replies.

    People who take online life too serious.

    I've got a posting etiquette tip:

    The most important thing to remember if you like to post while on the commode is don't tell the BBS when you are doing it. No one wants to know.

    This nifty little addition to my house is the main reason why some believe I am capable of outposting Jeff.
