Posting habits that annoy you

1. Thread titles that start with "so."
2. "What say you" is starting to get to me.
3. "Is ________ the best ________ ever?" threads, particularly when you can tell the OP just happened to see something funny offhand and decide that it's the funniest/best thing they've ever seen but probably forget about a week later. "Is Queen the best band ever" would be fairly valid, since an argument could be made. "Is this 5 second clip of a cat rolling over the best Youtube clip ever?" is just silly.

Germany, Australia or Florida, for some reason Gaf believes that most absurd "news" stories come from one of those places.

If I may continue this a bit, I for one don't understand this "habit". Why is it that we have a decent discussion going and it quickly degrades itself buy a few posts. Then poster(s) in question after acting like a child then tries to regain credibility? Really now? If you guys want to act/be taken seriously just do so from the beginning.

I like you.
I am fairly sure vB supports a version of quoting images using [qimg] tags or something where it simply turns the image into a clickable link when quoted. Beats the hell out of people quoting 1000px high images. :/
I just hate it when people abuse memes.
Topic: Analysts discover that Maryland has a better standard of living than Virginia.
Poster: *AIRPLANE GIF*
Poster: Instead of 35 minutes, it took 33 minutes.
Poster: *SHAMALAN GIF*
Poster: I disagree for these reasons.....
Poster: *U MAD GIF*

So how many people are actually going to try and change their posting habits as a result of the things people have complained about in this thread? I know I saw a couple of things that applied to me, so I'll definitely be trying to post differently, we'll see how long I last.

I doubt it, most of the time people who do these things are the ones who aren't around often or aren't bothered enough by beating a dead horse to begin with.Plywood said:
Posting from the top puts the emphasis where it belongs, and it's an easier read especially as people love to quote blocks of text.
Anyway, my list:
1) People who have absolutely nothing to say, so they post a smiley or "this" or a picture.
Use your words, and if you can't, stick to Sesame Street.
2) When people post links to videos and don't mention what the video is.
3) When people post NSFW stuff with the "not safe" tag thinking it absolves them of responsibility. Keep your gross junk off gaming age. There are other places for that, and some of us like being able to read gaming age in public or at work.
4) Just about any post in a medical-related thread. The correct answer is to go see a medical professional and do not ask posters on a game message board. One guy, I swear, was coughing up blood and had the stones to ask if he should go to the emergency room to seek treatment.

GAF hating gaffers are also pretty annoying. If you hate the place so much why are you here?
This is so true. All the "Oh, GAF!" "Never change, GAF!" junk is worthless and obnoxiously self-congratulatory. I think some people never stop being excited about having been accepted as members.Risible said:
And preemptive posting is probably the worst possible thing. "In before" or "Here come" or "ITT" or anything like that. Let the damn thread play out, Nostradamus. Nobody's impressed with your clairvoyance.

I hate it when I post in a thread, and someone likes something I say and then PMs me and we chat a bit back and forth, and then refuses to send me a picture of their dick. Motherfucker if you don't want to show me your junk why bother PMing me!
Hitokage said:
That's even worse :lol
As for my post earlier, I am definitely guilty of using the Shamalan (sp?) Twist meme more than once but I ONLY use it if I legitimately think that its use is kinda clever (or that the thread didn't scream "THE *TWIST* MEME WILL PROBABLY BE POSTED")....not for any random paradox. Overusing things really kills the effect....for me, at least.
Also, I hate it when people all jump on an innocuous poster, piling on the "thread backfire" bandwagon. It's so annoying. But this is the Internet and people will be like that....

for some reason nothing gets me worse than a misplaced comma. seeing the "how often do you drink" thread title reminded me of this, despite its lack of a comma.
it would be "how often, do you drink?"
i've seen it a few times, not naming names.
I'LL CHECK
actually nvm

you remembered! <3- People going on vacation and making a seperate thread whenever they move into a new city.
- Most NeoGAF meme's that spawn elsewhere, but get beaten to death here, and 'improved upon'.
- Avatar quoting that's not funny.
- People ass-kissing mods. Agreeing with BlackAce or Dragona is not gonna get you a red name any sooner.

The youtube thing doesn't bother me. Most of the time, it's the surprise of the video posted that helps the joke they're trying to make.
Personally, when people quote something someone else has said and put "." after it. Should be a bannable offense. And the assholes who quote 6 pages worth of images.

The truth hurts. I paid for my right to be better than you. i intend to ride it for all its worth.Shin_Kojima said:
joking aside. I usually do it in a sarcastic tone.
People who post threads about some famous person, and can't be bothered to give a description of who they are, or at the very least, post a picture. I realize it's a simple google search away, but if you're going to make a thread remembering someone's death, a picture should be mandatory.

Now I definitely disagree with this.Nose Master said:
Why type out the exact same thought when it has already been posted? Plus, I'm usually posting with my phone so by doing the "." it saves time and it shows that I am on the same page mentally with another gaf member. It's almost creepy how many times gaffers have typed out stuff that I was thinking in my head just moments before.
