Power-hungry staff do the trick - but no that's not what gets me most mental.

There are a handful of these egotistical ******** who you will inevitably encounter at many forums. They love power and consider themselves superior and somehow - more important - than everyone else. Each post reeks of this crap. God! I feel like taking a shovel and shoving it down their mouths to make them shut up.

Its almost as if they just are superior when they are clearly not. If I were the administrator, I'd ban them in a split second. I get so riled!

Ok now

What gets your blood boiling on forums?

RP forums - People who think they are god players, who cannot be beaten! >_> such noobs they are!

General Forums - People who take everything seriously! >_>

I like to think of them as ****heads but on forums they are called forum legends, Like people who have been there from the beginning of the forum so they think they are much more better than you. I also hate people that look down on you on forums OMFG, I sware if i knew the people in real life i would punch them

People who let forums piss them off.

That's generally a good indicator that it's a good time to get up and go outside...

But we are allowed to react to things we see on forums aren't we? Or is it like skimming through a stack of CDs? And the getting pissed off part is there like a plague irrespective of whether I spend 15 minutes or 15 hours on a forum.

And moreover I consider forums to be active platforms - not meant for passive reading

I get annoyed when members sign in and expect the ADMIN to post all the new topics.

When members spam my account asking to be staff. I mean I wouldn't be as bothered if they were legit enough to be staff but when people with less than 20 posts keep spamming my inbox I get PISSED OFF and ANNOYED. >_>

I get "Rate my board." a lot. I stepped out of giving critiques, people were complaining I was too harsh...when they requested them in the first place. My critiques are very detailed...I stated I am harsh, after I point out many flaws and list ways it can be fixed and even dig up sources or suggest ways that don't take more then a few moments they all go to me saying "F U".

Bad service, members ignoring you, to many rp forums, and I don't know what else.

Bad service, members ignoring you, to many rp forums, and I don't know what else.

RP Forums...tend to be elite or exclusive and unwelcoming a lot to me. Also, a skin that is bright, looks ugly/unattractive makes me RUN AWAY.

I get mad at RP forums, when staff sucks so much they can't even run the forum, When there is 10 members of staff and less then 20 members, when the main admin isn't on for over 2 months, on every post there is at least 4 cuss words, and when the forum redirects you to a spam page.

The one thing i get most annoyed about are designers. I don't mean the actual, good designers but i mean the ones that band about the 'graphics artist' or the 'graphic designer' labels when they clearly have little to no talent at all. Especially ones where they claim they are 'professionals' when they've never, ever been paid for their work at all.
I'm far from a good designer but i know my place
