Default The hitchhiker's guide to Forum posting :)

Couldn't resist...... sorry. lol

I thought I would try something, different. We all take part in forums, and we all get to see the seedy underbelly of the folk that try get under our skin and make our time on forums less pleasant. Every forum has their rules, some aren't the same as others, so I thought I would ask everyone here what their own pet peeve was when it comes to forum posters. What do you really hate? (too strong a word?) and why (of course).

For me? its not a long list...
  • "Thanks for sharing" ~ seriously, if you can see the thank button use it
  • Really short answers to a post like "it works great for me" ~ ey? what worked well for you and what did it do? You could be talking about kleenex for all I know. lol
  • Taking over another person's thread because you don't want to create your own or just feel like being a dictator.... (that would make you popular alright ).

I guess I could go on, but it wouldn't be half as much fun.
