Things that annoy me

1. People that treat forums as their own personal google.
SERIOUSLY PEOPLE. Google is there for a reason. Chances are, asking a dumb question on a forum will take a lot longer then asking a dumb question on google.

2. People that blindly ask questions without even doing research before hand
Seriously. At least put some effort into it! Check around, and see if there are any topics saying "READ THIS FIRST" or, use search! And, use google! Don't just blindly post questions without doing any sort of research before hand. People will think more highly of you if you say in your post "I looked and searched but I just couldn't find a good enough answer"

3. People that contribute nothing to a forum except asking questions
Now, this isn't always a bad thing, but it can get annoying when it appears you think that everyone on the forum is there to serve you. Helping other people is nice also.

4. People that post things in the wrong place
Why? Sometimes we get in a hurry and click the wrong board, but is it that hard to make sure the topic you are posting is in the right place? If you are posting a topic about a movie, check to see if there is a place specifically for movies!

5. People that apparently misunderstand a forum's purpose
If a forum is about Cars, you would expect several boards for cars. Different topics for such would be acceptable. You would have multiple boards. Maybe a few for brand of car, maybe a few for year of car, ETC. But if the forum is about Movies, you don't need 50 topics about cars. You would just need one topic. One topic for cars only.

6. Young people in debates who have absolutely no idea what on earth they are talking about.
Yeah. Those people that google "christian" in a debate and paste everything that they see. Also people who blindly post things without fully understanding the topic. It gets annoying. Take some time to make sure you understand the other side before spewing out information.

7. People on the internet that seem to have failed basic English.
Your=Your dad. Your dog. Your cat.
You're: You're having fun! You're cool!
There: She went over there! Look at that place there!
Their: That's their dog. That dog is theirs.
They're: They're going somewhere! Look! They're pretty cool!
Seriously. Is it that hard to understand?

8. People who don't know how to type, or people who don't use grammar and punctuation
they gennerally make all their sentances like this and without captialzation and without correct spelling and without correct puncuation
When I see posts like that, they come across as unemotional. Very.

9. People whose content makes no sense at all
Huh? Ever seen those people where even though they punctuate and capitilze correctly, their posts are still incomprehensible? (By the way, a lot of people like this don't speak English. Not many people who post like this speak English.)

10. People that post TMI
I don't want to know every single minute update on your life. Why are you giving me that on facebook? THAT'S WHAT TWITTER IS FOR.

11. People that post large blocks of text without any paragraphs or breaks
IT LOOKS LIKE A WALL. ITS ANNOYING. It's extremely hard to concentrate on your post.
