Biggest forum pet peeve?

Ironic that I'm posting this, because this is about to get flooded with it: my pet peeve is the horrid misspelling of so many basic words and the equally (or even worse) grammar. Seriously, I know this is American education, but for God's sake, you SPEAK English! Learn how to write it!

Anywho- what's your pet peeve in forums?

Hmm, let's see...

Trolls
Peeps who type lyke dis
Silly moderations
HTML errors
Words that get rejected even if they're worksafe, like the word 'cIass' (had to bypass that one)
Religion threads
People looking up to others because of their high post count
People with misleading signatures
Fad topics
Reposts
One word answers
People who QUOTE a giant picture/pictures
People who QUOTE a giant picture/pictures only to say a one word answer
People who QUOTE a giant wall of text.
People who don't trim down QUOTE trees
Girl advice threads
Conspiracy threads
The same old pictures in the YLYL threads

I might be missing a few though.

You forgot those conspiracy topics and/or topics about the Zeitgeist.

No I think you got almost all of them.

People who constantly say "Blog It"EVOLV3

Blog it. :P I do agree with you though.

TFG summed up most everything, but in the past few days, I've seen an annoying amount of:

"OMG everybody letz all go to GB becuz they can cuss and because the mods here suck becuz they keep suspending me because I didn't read the ToS! and JEFF IS THAR!!!!!!!!!!!"

People who quote the first post.

Especially when the first post has tons of pictures in it or is really long.

What TFG said...

And l33tspeak, it's fun in games sometimes but good god it's horrid when in a forum.

People who think that everyone on here is American.

Basically Arrogance.

People treating others with high post counts like gods. It's annoying as hell.

Also bad grammar and spelling, but not as much as my first pet peeve.

Stupid people. Unfortunately, that doesn't end with forum users. So I'll go with people who try to find loopholes in the rules, just for the sake of it.

When people say "I could care less" but they mean "I couldn't care less".Brainkiller05

Basically what TFG said and the "There are no girls on the internetz!!!1!1" crap. They have every right to be on here.

TFG pretty much nailed it.

When someone says that I'm wrong. I'm always correct.smokeydabear076

You're incorrect about that one.

[QUOTE="smokeydabear076"]When someone says that I'm wrong. I'm always correct.the_foreign_guy

You're incorrect about that one.

Trolls cleverly dsiguised as reasonable people with an opinion. Come on, all they want to do is argue anything and everything, even if they agree with you.

I agree completely. I know this is "teh internets", but it's really sad how low the standard is around here in comparison to the professional world. Lack of basic spelling and grammatical skills just makes it incredibly difficult for others to understand wtf you're saying no matter how basic the conversation is. Even foreigners know basic rules of English more thoroughly than some Americans around here.
