Pokecommunity, we've discussed our general pet peeves now, but does anyone else on here have any forum pet peeves? I know you do. Don't lie to me. It's colored fonts right? Or is it bad grammar? Maybe the way that one guy kind of sort of posts too much? (You know who you are)

Me, there seems to be a trend of posts which aren't aligned with the left side of the page like the rest of ours. Things like that are unexpected, and unexpected things make me scared.

Remember, the mods are bored and have nothing to do, and I'll tell on you if you break the rules.

when people grab an image off google and use it as their avatar and it ends up getting warped up and the quality goes to muk because of it having to resize that is the ultimate sign of someone not to trust

Oh my GOD I thought I was the only one. I have a ton of PC pet peeves actually but most are nitpicky and I'd rather not go into them because I'll just sound like I'm looking for something to complain about lol. The biggest one though is definitely forMatting. A little doesn't bother me but my god make your post readable

Oh there's so many things.

-People who use colored fonts outside of blogs
-Centered/indented/aligned right posts that aren't a blog entry or the op of a thread
-People who can't basic internet
-People who have fancy shmancy signatures but don't center them
The list goes on.

also people who still put weird statistics in their sig like that thing about not breeding pokemon for IVs and stuff, being a believer in jesus, being someone that would laugh if justin bieber fell off a building (idk i've seen it), etc it goes to how i feel about something irl actually in that if you wear your beliefs on your car you're choosing the wrong medium for expressing that and the same goes for your signature on forums........even if it is about laughing at bieber falling off a building

#1 pet peeve is obvious parroting what previous posters have said. DON'T DO IT KIDS

#2 pet peeve is when people imply that a lack of proper spelling, grammar or punctuation makes you un-intelligent or uneducated sounding. The only thing that does is make you look like a pompous asshole.

When I'm scrolling up on a thread on my phone and my finger accidentally clicks a music bar that plays some song that's usually a hit or a miss.

Sorry Harley Quinn I love ya, but my god does that happen way too much whenever I'm on a thread with some of your posts haha.

Pet peeves. . O.0

There isn't anything in particular that annoys me on this forum, I'm a bit too self-absorbed to recognize anything about others.

The most annoying thing to me may just be people who are obsessive about grammar and spelling, and even go out of their way to make an issue about it. Okay, if someone insults you like "ur stupid", then it may be fair game. However, pretty much any other instance it is uncalled for. In respectable conversations/debates, or even when someone is just asking a question, pointing out grammatical/spelling errors is rude. I don't care whether it is as an aside or you're flat out dismissing them altogether for it (which I have seen), it is uncalled for. It's not a big deal, and even if it was, not everyone on a worldwide internet forum has had access to the same education, or has English as their first language. Get over it!

When I scroll my thumb is on the right side, so when I scroll up and down there are times where my thumb will land on the play button as I'm scrolling up/down to the next segment.

-People who use text speech.
-Grammar Nazis.
-Poor quality avatars and signatures
-Users who don't have an avatar or signature.
-People who use coloured text.
-People who Post in CAPITALS LIKE THEY ARE SHOUTING.
-People who make a thread then on the first post just write something like "title says it all" rather than elaborating on the thread name.

I'm with those who mentioned bad quality pics in avatars/signatures. Granted I did start out using terrible pics myself in my early years on PC but I learned from that and have since become OCD with the quality of the pics I use. I like to actually put the effort into finding good pics and not like randomly borrow something off a Google search.

Spelling, grammar and punctuation also gets on my nerves. Trust me, I'm not a fan of always having to correct those people.

I'm a bit bothered by parts of D&D revolving around CHALLENGE PISSING

If you want an explanation of what that is, hear it from the only user car dealer in Baltimore that tells you to psyduck off

Other thanthat, the usual things I won't bother to parrot ITT, and hm, what else... the witty posts are growing onto me, I'm starting to like them. Maybe I just didn't see the substance in them back when =3

This after I typed up something long, witty, and good.
And when you type up an awesome response and the server decides to be "too busy" and makes you lose everything you wrote. At least PC doesn't do it anymore but.. a few years ago it was basically the norm on every other post you made.

Strangers who send me random VMs/friend requests and expect me to befriend them like if our friendship is going to be based on a "Hi...random person passing by." There's no way in a thousand I will not ignore you immediately.
