Pet Peeves on message boards

What drives you crazy about message boards?

1.) I hate when people introduce themselves and then you never hear from them again. What is the point of that?  

2.) I dont like it when people post pics of their kids with food all of their face. I guess I am talking about those typical pics of the kid eating their first birthday cake. Not cute!

3.) I find it annoying when people ask for advice but never come back with an update.

What do you hate? Or what annoys you?

  • Adults who type like teenagers on Facebook. Are they really that lazy that they can't type full words? If so, I'm too lazy to read their posts.

  • People who hide their profiles irritate me. How am I suppose to stalk them if they hide their old posts? Stick out tongue

  • Multiple siggys to tell me 4 times that the poster is pregnant. Large pictures of any kind, but yes, babies eating food makes me dry-retch a little too.

    The worst is way too much information on the poster's inability to conceive. I don't need to hear about low sperm count every time you post. Much like I'm sure no one wants to read about the general state of health of my hoo-hoo either.

  • * People who type in text speak

    * Huge siggy pics & multiple counters

     

  • Oh, and people who tell us nothing anything about themselves, but have an arrogant, I-know-everything-and-my-point-of view-is-the-gospel attitude that post every now and then on this board

  • my pet peeve is a post or status that is too vague.  If you're going to say something, then just say it.

    Alright Em, I'll come out and say it! Its you!! jk ;)

    my pet peeve would be the ppl who post a question but never follow up or anything. For the most part, as long as people are relatively nice and it doesn't become an all-out b!tchfest, I am alright with almost everything.

  • You mean besides the spam? (Grrr...)

  • The spam is pretty frickin' annoying.  It seems like it's gotten way out of control lately.

    Knitty.  They're talking about Knitty.  She's annoying as crap and tends to have a "I know better than you on EVERY.SINGLE.SUBJECT.IN.LIFE" attitude, which gets a lot of people up in arms.  I tend to ignore her for the most part, but sometimes even she can up and shock me.

    I hate it when someone posts a link, but I can't see it because my windows explorer does something weird with the scroll bar.  Cheeses me off.

  • You know what's funny?  We're announcing PM's in a message board pet peeve thread.  That's kind of ironic.  haha
  • And now I realize that you all were probably joking and knew exactly who we were talking about, and I was too dumb to realize it.  Sigh...I need a nap.

  • I actually really didn't know.  I was let in on the secret though.  I feel special! 
  • It kills me when people put no information in their subject line.

    "I have a question."

    "Do you know if..."

    "Why is it that..."

    I just won't open those posts anymore unless there are lots of responses. It's just a waste of everybody's time. 

    And then there are always the people who just post to complain about their lives, and who never ever have anything to say that's not negative in some way. There isn't one on this board that I've noticed, but on other boards.

  • I hate it when you post something and nobody replies but there is like 100+ views.

    Seriously, this.

    "I have a question."

    "Do you know if..."

    "Why is it that..."

    This, but also the people who put the wrong information in their subject line. Like "If you're in Europe, come in" and then the post is specifically about Rome. Or "breastfeeding help" and it's about exclusively pumping.

    Or you gotta love the ones that obviously didn't read one single post here before posting. Like the last three topics are "I just moved to London," "London GTG this weekend," and "I found chocolate chips in London!" and someone posts "Anyone in London?!?!?!?!?!?!?" I at least skim titles before I post on a new board, yk? 

    Oh, and excessive punctuation. There's a woman on another board I go to that is SO ENTHUSIASTIC!!!!!!!! ABOUT EEEEEEVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! O!  M! G!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
