I was intrested in what other people found annoying on forums. Either on other random forums, or this one. Some of the Poll questions might be specific. If you want to, you can talk about other annoyences that I may have over looked or don't know yet.
________________________________________________________ For me:
Trolls, Hot heads, and hoarders are my main peeves.
Although, the most specific one with me is no-show/bad mods. I don't know if you guys have been to the offical Warrior cats forum, But it's a freakin' mad house! It's over run with annoying, immiture, and idiotic kids.

Which is exactly why I don't go over there. Makes any other warriors fan look like a total moron.
Mostly I can't stand trolls and major rule-breakers. I'm not talking about an innocent mistake of a simple rule, but the ones who repeatedly break the same rule over and over again.

I chose Hot heads, hoarders, "Groupies" and individual posting styles. The others don't really bother me, but from experience those above do. I dunno.

Haha. I don't really like any of them... xD Except for 'popular' members because in the PC, truthfully, they're almost always as great as other people say!

^ It doesn't happen much, but when an older member feels intitled or more important then younger members just because they've been on a forum longer.

I voted 'rule breakers' and 'immaturity' ... But what peeves me most is when people of a forum act like they're part of an elitist group. Not accepting anyone who is new, just because they aren't part of some predetermined clique or whatnot. I hate that anywhere, including in rl, and forums are no exception.

No show mods... SPF was like that from the start and it was just so frustrating that trolls/troublemakers/etc were never punished because the Admin and the mods were never around. I understand if you're busy, but if you are, don't have a forum if you can't check in at least once a day. It was pretty much like once a week with them, and even when us new mods were instated, it didn't help because we had no powers to ban anyone or really do anything :/
Not sure where this falls under, but lol suck ups. People who immediately try to get in with mods/older members to get better pets/preferential treatment. I know a few people like that on several forums and it really just grinds my gears lol. I've had people pester me for hexes/bred pets and sometimes I just wanna reach through the screen and shake them for being so silly.
Also spammers. People who have to post on EVERYTHING just to prove that they're part of the forum, but only post like one word responses such as "Cute!" or "AWWW!!" I know one person that does this ALL THE TIME on another forum and it really irks me. Almost 2000 posts of that... my brain :c

Just..."bring out the popcorn" and stuff y'know. This is pretty much how I feel about trolls xDD hilarious, for the most part. with n00bs, it depends on the situation...sometimes it's funny, others I feel a bit sorry for/want to help them, and other times they can be rude, idiotic, or just plain aggravating. I went ahead and used all 10 allowed votes, so xD I think I picked hot-heads, n00bs, groupies, over-popular and vanishing members, no-show mods, flame wars (goes with hot-heads), favoritism, waiting for updates, and attention seekers.

Hot Heads, n00bs, hoarders, rule breakers, bad grammar, favoritism, immaturity, attention seeks, and senior member syndrome are what I picked.
Immaturity and senior member syndrome sort of fit into the same category, in my opinion. N00bs annoy the crap out of me (not newbs. n00bs). Rule breakers... come on, guys. :/ Once or twice, an honest mistake, is ok... but constantly? No. Bad grammar... lol, I'm a grammar nazi. Mostly mistakes between they're/their/there or its/it's or where/were/wear bother me. There are exceptions, of course, such as non-native English speakers, but... yep. Favoritism really grinds my gears, that's sort of self explanatory as to why. Attention seekers... It's ok to rant about your life, it's quite another if you keep posting the same old crap /constantly/ and take /no/ advice that people give you and are merely seeking to be pitied.

^ ive bean here longar then u patchwork. I like senior member syndrome because I suffer from it and people don't understand it's a genetic disease. Just kidding, I don't think I do, I hope. I really don't get bothered by most of these? Or is it just me. I'll expand on my post a little, I picked Individual posting styles because, though I haven't experiences it on here - there are some forums where certain user's typing styles make me want to do this:
