DISboard pet peeves

[Ziggy Stardust]

I hate when people post what bothers them...if it bothers you skip over it...life is to short.

Phewwww...anyone got a cold beer

When people get self-righteous on a Disney message board.

I don't like it when people are banned. I think that offensive people either generate posts....or they don't. People have been banned that I find rude and mean but as long as they aren't vulgar and there is an ability to lock a thread when things get bad, I don't think banning is necessary.

I've only been here about 3 weeks so I'm fairly new. Can you explain what you mean when you say people get "banned". Who bans them and why? Does that mean they can never post anymore?

When pet peeve is when people forget this is an open MESSAGE BOARD!
That it is not the physchiatrist...
the Doctors...
When people take it all WAY to seriously
and when
people start threads that inevidably end up in posters just bashing away at other posters for NO contructive reason.

Besides some of the things already listed, I have one. When a few people turn a serious thread into a conversation of inside jokes and completely ruining the OP thread.

I only hate that when I'm not in on the joke.

I'm never in on jokes. Even in real life.

and you have 400 posts?

Okay I just have to say this.

I really have a problem when people post something to a thread when they haven't read the whole thing. Especially when they proceed to make a comment or ask a question that has already been asked and answered, and they would know that if they bothered to read it all.

I guess sometimes I fall into this category, as I am doing exactly what you don't like right now. I am not doing so to be spiteful, I am just responding to your post and I thought I would give my two cents as to why I do that some times so maybe you can see it from another point of view. I do not get a lot of time to DIS and sometimes there are threads that I really would like to comment on, but just do not have the time to read 3, 4 or more pages of replies. I take the original post into consideration and answer it accordingly usually because I feel I have something to offer the OP. Because really I am not replying to the other people who reply to the original question, just to the person who originally asked the question.

Yeah, what they said!!

Hi, JACK!!!!!

 

[andrabell]

People who are too bloody lazy to use the search feature. We don't really need another thread about 'Ohana.

Like always, Jack is up to no good!

I disagree! First of all, do a search for Ohana and see what comes up. The vast majority of those threads are highly irrelevant. Plus some people just want to be part of a recent conversation. Is that so wrong?

 

[Tigger&Belle]

I agree with you. Sometimes before posting I'll scan the last few posts to see if the thread has taken off in another direction before posting, but I don't think there's anything wrong with answering the OP without reading through pages and pages of replies.

What I have done a few times that could be a pet peeve of others is to misread the OP and reply to what I think they've said. Usually I'm just reading too fast and am excited to post, but I do try to take my time and understand what the poster meant before I reply.

 

[disneymom3]

Really horrible grammar and spelling annoy me. (though I won't correct it so don't worry!)

It drives me nuts when people quote the entire OP like the second response down.

And yes, if you are going to come on a message board and bare your soul and get people concerned about you, then see it through. As long as they are not bashing you, then don't ignore them. Ticks me off. Threre is one poster who did this awhile back and now I can't even read her posts because I just have no respect for her at all.

(And no, I am not saying who.)

Again, I agree (I seem pretty agreeable tonight... ). If a person doesn't want to answer another O'hana question then don't.

It wasn't me, was it???

 

[goofygirl]

When people bring up the past, as in "you said so-and-so-last time, and "you said this-and-that on the DIS 4 years ago...." Really, what's the point of that?


I like to live in the PRESENT, thankuverymuch! And if you have the whole DIS archived in your brain, you need to get out more- LOL!

Point taken. Fair enough.
