Online Behaviour - Pet Peeves

Post Reply New Topic

Making a online only focused thread since I have so much to unpack but not clog up other threads.

- My biggest gripe Is when folk seem to think they can be hostile as their intro to me and play off as "How things work". But If I don't tolerant any of It suddenly I'm the problem and say stuff that EVEN worse than before.

- Redditors/Youtubers that have nothing to say beyond lashing out at the 9070xt/7900xtx makes the RTX 5080 look like a joke. It fun they claim how bad AMD's ray tracing Is, Yet the PS5 shows other wise with It RDNA 2 GPU.

"I'm not reading allat"

When you keep your OP short and sweet but someone still can't be bothered to read it before posting, and they ask you a question that you'd already covered in your OP. Then when you point it out, they say "sorry, TL;RD, short attention span".

I have a short attention span and can't read long posts unless it's in a private conversation or if I'm reeeally interested, but attention span short enough to be unable to read an OP that's literally shorter than this post (for a non-dyslexic person) isn't really a convincing excuse and is just lazy I think.

Sites where rules are only applied on a case by case basis. So for instance rule number 1 says ''no personal attacks'', which is a perfectly fair rule and not very difficult to understand or follow but some users get away with posting personal attacks unprovoked even when you report them, while other users get their posts edited or removed for hardly nothing except that they had very slightly posted off-topic. I mean I get that it's annoying when threads go off-topic but if I were a mod I would be more on personal attack patrol than one person slightly going off-topic. Even some users get away with going very off-topic with a personal attack, and you report it to the mods and they do nothing, simply because this particular user is a favourite of theirs and can do no wrong. And as an ADHDer this sort of unfairness just gets to you.

Not talking about this site, just in general that I have seen happen elsewhere. Pettiness like that on other sites just makes me glad to be here where things seem more laid-back and rules are just common sense and everybody's happy.

At that point It not even selective It them just ignoring their own rules while failing to get no one gonna stay in such spaces. HydrogenAudio & audio science review are utter trash because your either ghosted or get some hostile non-reply. Like the one I got on ASR where someone took deep offence towards me pointing out Lossless video would be 320 ~ 1600mbit, Ended up insta banned by a very annoying mod.
