This isn't a thread for posting general things that press your buttons, it's for things people do on forums (not necessarily this one) that get you worked up. To start it off here are a few of mine:
-People who refer to a sig as their "siggy". I personally can't fathom why someone would do this, is it to seem cute? To me it just makes you look like a five year old.
-Lickies. For those who don't know it's a .gif of something (here it's normally a pokémon)t which starts by viewing the pokémons whole body, then zooms in on th tounge to make it look as if its licking the other side of your screen. I don't know exactly why this annoys me, *but it's along the lines of the use of "siggy", I don't get why someone would do it, but it makes them seem very immature.
-People who refuse to take constructive critisim, and just respond with "sorry I can't please everyone" or a line from Lady Gaga's "Born This Way". We're only trying to help you become a better poster and thus become more popular in the eyes of most members.
-Threads that get deleted solely for things not-so-intelligent posters turn the topic into. Like if this thread turns into "name-names of posters you don't like lol" then it will be closed. A good example of something like this is the cyberbullying thread. The mods warned people multiple times to stay on-topic, yet they continued going off topic, inevitablely getting the topic closed.
-The terms "lmao" and "lmfao". Now I can tolerate "lol". It's short and sweet, and sounds well if used properly. But "lmao" just sounds funny to me, and it doesn't read very well. I don't understand why someone would add an extra letter or two just to make their post sound a bit off.
-Users who make a thread dedicated to only one question. If their new to the forums then that's even less of an excuse, as they should be well read on the rules.
-People who bring up My Little Pony every two seconds. Now I guess I can mildly tolerate the fact that everyone's a fan of something, but it just gets so freaking annoying.
-People who can't spell a single word. We all make mistakes and typos, and I can easily live with that. It's the "ZOMG dif U freekinh here abowt blah blah blah?!?!" With spell check on nearly every machine, even *with low intelligence there is no excuse.
Also, please don't name names here. Don't say "Well ________ does this allllll the time and it's my forum pet peeve." thing like that will probably get this thread closed.
