C'mon man. For example, looking at your avatar, I see a girl who looks naked and about to cry. How is that not creepy.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I don't know about "killing" anyone, but I don't like when people just use GAF memes to low or no-content post, primarily "feed it pizza." I don't much care for the increasing habit of very poorly executed gif posts in lieu of content posts. A good GIF reply can be hilarious but more often than not, it's just juniors posting gifs to post gifs.

People that start threads without any talking points.
Why would you do that?

This is the kind of thread that belongs on Reddit.
That. If you really hate a thread, why even respond In it?

Why the long case?
People who post about posting habits they don't like.
I'll respond to a topic how ever the fuck I want. Saying you will kill someone is stupid.

Ya I seriously think discussion would improve BIG TIME without these people. I am not asking that everyone disagrees with me. I just want the disagreement to be meaningful and not a stupid "I corrected you on something so I win and you lose" style post.
First post nails it.
Agree 100% with the part in spoilers.

sir, i believe those dicks are fucking those assholes.
I also hate it when people use "lead" in place of "led."
If I killed people over every posting habit I hated with a fiery passion, there wouldn't be any posters left.
But top 3?
1) People who thing the tilde is a proper punctuation mark to end your sentences with. "lol thats so cute~" No you fucking asshat that is not what that symbol is for.
2) People who repeatedly make posts that contain nothing but a reaction gif.
3) People who go into a "Favorite _____" thread and post a picture of some obscure character or game or movie or show or person and don't say who or what it is.
Runner-up: People who censor curse words. If you're gonna say FUCK, then say FUCK. Don't say f**** or f**k or whatever. If you don't like using the actual word, then use a different word.

this is a good one. you see it all the time in every heated thread. fucking hate it.
That happens SO much. And what's annoying is that when the one posting it is defending a majority opinion, almost no one will out this ad hominem tactic.

OP doesn't understand how NeoGAF works. He also smells bad.
Pretty much this...

Grossly inaccurate thread titles.
Man, imagine discussion on NeoGAF turning into well thought-out disagreements as polite as old men enjoying cognac and cigars.

men can dream.
I'd settle for semi-polite middle aged people and craft beer.

-OPs who start controversial topics but is nowhere to be seen when the debates get going.
-"Am I the only who ____?" topics.
-FIRST posts/omg it's ____ (not necessarily here, but in other forums; also if a well-known poster/admin makes a topic)
I rather not. It's funny watching posters dig their own graves and get outed as the jokes they are. Kind of like those closet racist posters who keep denying they are racist.

NeoGAF's obsession posting threads related to body functions... and body malfunctions. ("I busted my spleen! What should I do?")
Lol!

I agree with the latter - depressing news threads are pointless. I only enter them now to witness the inevitable "why even post this?" backlash.
The former, though...doesn't everyone with an opinion have an agenda? Do you really expect people to argue a point without attempting to score a point for their team, so to speak?
This. Grammar nazis in general, really. They tend to emerge when the poster has no way to counter someone's argument so they address their spelling/grammar instead. It's pointless. 99% of GAF knows the difference between you're and your - if you see someone switch the two, it's a temporary brain fart and you're just coming off as a dick for pointing it out. The arrogance of people who actually believe they're "educating" the forum with such observations.
this posts when they arent true
I dunno about Plywood, but personally, I think there's a difference between having an opinion/agenda that you are willing to re-evaluate if the evidence points towards your opinion possibly being wrong, versus people who have an opinion/agenda and they are sticking to it no matter what, because winning an argument is more important to them than empirically finding the right nuanced stance to take on a issue.
I'm talking about those who look for things that aren't there, I mean those that make everything into a debate. That bring a whole thread down over whatever they want to talk about of course they're not completely at fault since people respond to them.
This as well.
Didn't even think of that, but ya tha can get irritating if you spend a little time going back a few pages worth to find the post and then only discover it after giving up.

I don't want to kill anyone...
The "And not a single fuck was given that day" post or any variation of it to an announcement of some sort.

how many arguments have you guys won on NeoGAF.com?
Oh god this. I hate this so much. Completely destroys the flow for both those who haven't read the whole page yet (I'm like what are you quoting?) and those who have already read the post before the edit will completely miss the new content.
Just stop it. Make a new post. It doesn't take that much effort.

This, without the irony.
Plus people who say that x is objectively bad/good. To me, it shows a lack of understanding on how people can like different things. It comes off as mega douchy.
