Totally negative thread, I know. What can I say, sometimes I need to vent. This isn't directed at all noobs by no means. In fact I think they're the minority. Most of you know the type that I mean. I'm curious about what kind of posts really get on your nerves. Here are a few of mine:
When people blame everyone but themselves for crap results
Threads with titles like "quick question" which almost never have simple answers
People that mention things like "movie that's still in theaters.avi"
People that state "I searched the guides" when you know they're full of shit

people who think someone might be talking about ilegal downloads (although they haven't actually said so) and then goad them into saying what they've downloaded (LORT - ROTK for instance) and then report them to the mods for discussing warez.
I can't tell you how much I <edited by WH> hate these <edited by WH>, I wish them <edited by WH>, I honestly do.
And does anyone report these bastards?
No, they don't.
Well, I'm gonna start.
Bastards.
Thanks for letting me vent....

Newbie posts that say "OK, now where do I start?".
Posts that do nothing for the discussion and just start flame wars.
Posters who contradict themselves, but are the loudest to say "my research shows..." when you know they're bullshitting. Cough coughcoughnakedgeekcoughcoughcough.

my biggest two would be:
- people who ask for help, and then get pissed that you a) didn't spoon feed it to them, or b) didn't answer the question they meant, instead of the question they asked.
- people who can't admit they are wrong, in the face of overwhelming evidence (including the subset of posters who think that thier way is the best and/or only way).
overall, I think the signal-to-noise ratio here is pretty good; it's just that one crap post will draw more energy than 10 helpful ones...- housepig

My Pet Peeves...not really sure I should be posting 'em
but here goes:
-When someone asks a question, and a helpful response is given, and the same person asks the same question again or adds an insult saying that no one answered their question. I see a lot of these type of theads...even been the one to give the response that was ignored a few times.
-When someone or a few people will turn an innocent thread into a political debate/flame war when it started out having absolutely nothing to do with politics.
- When someone deliberately tries to get a thread locked when it involves a topic they don't like. Or should I just say someone who is prone to be offended by every little thing all the time.
- When a topic gets locked that shouldn't be locked because of one person trying to start trouble. I'd rather that person be locked/banned instead.
-When a couple people hijack a thread and start carrying on a conversation that drags on to several pages
Doesn't really bother me but can be annoying sometimes if it kills the original topic...that PM feature is there for a reason though :P
- flame wars in general...some people are just way too uptight.
Ya can't please everyone though no matter what - you'll always have one in every crowd to stir up things. -
A fair jab, but completely different point and you know it!Originally Posted by stiltmanThis coming from someone that burns rental DVDs and replaces the original with the backups ROTFLMAO
It's one thing to commit copyright theft (which I didn't, other than the image of course!), it's another to goad some poor bastard into confessing and then <edited by WH> them for it.

Hey, wash your mouth, there are midgets and clowns reading this too."Whenever I need to "get away,'' I just get away in my mind.

i often do that...because I know that many users finds a solution but they never reply that they have solved it...and it is better than making a new topic with exact same problem.Originally Posted by duffyr83 -
