Right... I'll drive you to boredom with my hideously long, pointless explaination, but here goes...
Firstly, trolls. Just... Trolls. What's the point? They're time-wasters. Noobs irritate me as well because, more often than not, they ask stupid questions, do stupid things, etc.
I've dealt with an overly popular member on another site. Everyone pays attention to him when he's around while ignoring everyone else. He vanished for several months, saying he was "busy", yet he kept lurking on the site. And when he did return? He got a big, undeserved hero's welcome. Ugh. This also explains my irritation with people who "vanish" without a trace.
Bad grammar is just a pet peeve. I don't like it when people talk l1k3 th15, or don't use punctuation or capital letters. But then again, that may just be me being weird, a grammar nazi and/or a perfectionist...
Lazy/bad mods. Ugh... I've dealt with one of these before too, on the same site with the overly popular member. He was an admin, in fact. Anyways, he basically treats me like [censored]. He once said I was a waste of money just for not being able to buy a paid feature AND using Adblock, which was what caused him to hate me in the first place. He changed everyone's avatars to a popular character from a video game just because he beat that game, and added tags related to a show somebody else didn't like, DIRECTLY AIMED AT THAT PERSON. The worst thing? Not even the site owner did anything for me when I complained about him - in fact, she just muted me in the chat, and ripped my emotions apart in the thin guise of "moderation". I hate that site now.
Next up, favoritism. It's not favoritism ITSELF that irritates me, but it's when I get treated like crud by the admins for BEING POOR, basically... see above rant.
Finally, attention seekers. The same person ranted about in the "overly popular member" rant got so overly popular... because he was an attention hog and tried to take over the chat any chance he could. He succeeded, and is even twisting the minds of some other members. Ugh...
TL;DR: Trolls, noobs, overly popular members, vanishing members, bad grammar, idiot mods, favoritism and attention seekers.
Sorry for the needlessly long and ranty post...
