Forum Pet Peeves

[MagicManICT]

Realizing that I've started spending more time reading/making forum posts than I've spent actually playing XD . Happens eventually in so many games I play...

you have? Man, I'm definitely spending way too much time on the forum, then.

I hate massive, ugly derails. Off topic is fine when the conversation is meandering about in a natural way, but just blatantly derailing threads... man, that gets my goat.

Oh, and ***** at the new guy just cause he's new and has questions.

When a disgruntled ex-admin decides to trash your forum by deleting everything.

Being conned into being a forum admin when moving to a new forum after the original gets trashed by a disgruntled admin, despite repeatedly stating I don't want to be an admin (heck...I didn't even want to be a moderator but wasn't given much choice there either).

Needing to ban people. Most disappointing part of the job of being a forum admin.

When a forum dies . I miss that forum...so much drama and so much pure awesomeness...

What really drives me up the wall is people creating threads asking others to talk about things that drive them up the wall.

It also drives me up the wall when people think that talking about what bugs us will make us get along better, and that it would in some way get more people to start using the forum.

I feel there are shy people who don't post because they don't want to get burned by others

To me asking someone what pisses them is a great way to,I think, to avoid unintentionally pissing off that person in the future. Also lets be honest I know you guys love to ***** so this thread is also my gift to you guys.


Ps please don't feel that I'm telling you to be nicer I like you guys just the way you are.

Seeing bounties placed on other players on the forum. And knowing there's not one on me...I feel so worthless .

Seeing so many whiners at the forum, "Devs need to turn of perma death" or something like a that (we all Haven and heart veterans know they will never do that)

Drama threads are mostly fine but I hate it when people don't realize that this is "just" a game and start raging about some little thing. But I read their posts for cheap laughs

seeing some stereotyping and alpha male syndrome rage.

I'd like to add People creating a trade thread in order to sell 3 arrowheads and 1 singing log to my list.

Hmmm... forum peeves. I hate when people single me out to attack both in game and in the forums because I have a slightly noteworthy name in Haven. I ALSO hate the childish, everyone pile on mentality that goes with this when every 3 post noob jumps in with their 2 cents despite not knowing me at all.

And most of all, more than anything, I hate when noobs ask questions that have been answered and can quite easily be found with a minimum of searching. This generation today is so used to instant gratification that the availability of things like Wikipedia and Google are taken for granted to an extant that stuns me. When I was a kid and wanted to know something? I went to the frikken library or just plain old didn't know it...... None of this "All of the World's Knowledge" in one place deals....
