Just for fun, lets list some things that simply annoy you when it comes to message boards in general. Not to pick, poke, or bash anyone inperticular, but to have some fun in pointing out the less desirable things that seem to come along with a message board expierence.

Here are my top 5 things that erk me....


#5: The phantom doubble and/or tripple post.
- You make your post, press the 'post' button and all of a sudden there is a multiple of the same post, making you look like an idiot. Then you have to spend the next 10 minutes editing and/or deleting said multiples as well as explaining to the 9 people who are telling you that you doubble/tripple posted.

#4: Where did my post go??
- How many times have you spent a good ammount of time, laboring over a well written, thought provoking and compelling retort, only to hit the submit button and come to find the post you just invested time, energy and serious thought in has went the route of the missing sock. Only to find out that you no longer have the energy or will to re-write it all over again...

#3: ...
- I just hate it when I see a new post made and the title is "...". I just have to click on it and it's never worth the click. I wish I had the will to just not click it but am compelled to find some sort of reason for such a diluted title. My search still goes on...

#2: Attention ******.
- I just can not stand when someone comes along, or starts out of nowhere posting about every detail of there collection and life compiling 50+ posts a day and usually about nothing worth wile. You know these guys, the ones who registered last week and have 2480 posts allready. Thoes who need to let everyone know everytime they think about a choice, decision or lack there of.

#1: Discuss...
- This my 'worst offender' of the list, my #1. I simply can not stand when someone posts a link, picture, or simple statment and puts "discuss" at the bottom. Like they are some sort of mediator taking note of the ensuing discussion brought about by there thought provoking inspiration. Like I/we are some sort of a guinea pig in there think tank experiment.


Anyway, list if you will some of your 'worst offender' message board violations, and see if we can not make the message board expierence a better place, one member at a time.

HUGE paragraphs. When all it takes is a few sentences to get your point across. I usually just don't skip over it.

on s serious note i can relate to the ones you have listed but they don't really bother me that much. the 2 things i really dislike are people that don't know how to use grammar at all (i'm not tlaking about spelling, i'm talking about proper use of punctuation and stuff like that) and this new english language we have developed called "texting". if your too lazy to type out your instead of "ur" and stuff like that when you have a full qwerty keyboard in front of you thats pretty sad. on a phone i can take it but not here. just my .02 worth.

:lol: I poked fun at you last time but it happens to me all the time.

Nothing I post is thought provoking but I dont like it when my post get deleted or for some reason they dont go through

The person may have made a double post so he does this to one of the topics or the topic was already posted by another member

I hate this as well but nothing I can do about it


I also hate the internet tough guys that usually appear in the razor posts.These guys/girls think they know more about the hobby then everyone else

If you are talking about a hot chick, one MUST include photo.
Hate when photo is not inlcuded

I also hate when others ask if "they got a steal?"

When some act as if they are the kings of prospects and talk about the players' skills and such and all they are basing it on is a single Q&A on Baseball America.


Another pet peeve is when a thread is made about prospects and someone takes the time and energy to pump up a player only to end it by saying that they have to keep it a secret as to exactly who that player is as if they are some super-scout guru and nobody else ever heard of this sleeper

Not telling people who they should collect or how they should colect but I hate it when another person leaves a message ripping on a person's opinion on a player or says somone is a fool for collecting that person and the person doing the colecting "only collects Braves" or "only collects Phillies" for example. Come on! How can you rip someone on their collecting opinion when one's only method of collecting is based on which team the player plays on?

People bumping their spam too often

When a person posts a pull, says they are looking to sell and not trade, and that one person keeps saying "I don't have Paypal. Would you take my lot of crap instead that I couldn't sell for that great card you just pulled?"
