Just add to the list as you find something that annoys you. Bolded are added by others.


1) Necroposting
2) Trolling
3) Sending a mass PM to pretty much everyone on WP

4) Publicly calling out a forum member, rather than via PM.
5) Posting things in General Autism Discussion that belong elsewhere.
6) Thread Hijacking
7) Flamebaiting (see trolling)
8) Grammar Nazi's
9) fappin'
10) Opening topics with a title which has nothing to do with its content. Especially with sex-related title.
11.) Posting obviously non-random topics in the Random Discussion forum
12. Thread titles that bait with an unfinished sentence........and lead into an impotently boring opening thread post
13) turning a fun thread into a war
14) and new people that start trouble in the first day
15) Wall of text with no paragraphs to rest on/essay type of post.
16) People opening a new account just to attack someone or call them out on something rather than doing it under their original account.
17) People sending PMs asking "what's up" "how are you?'
18) Spam
19) People whining about their same issues over and over and ignoring everyone's advice
20) NT bashing
21) The superior talk against NTs
22) People singling out other users here just because they are different
23) People misusing the word troll
24) People who accuse others of being misleading because they interpret a statement differently to the poster
25) People who behave as though they were an elected spokesperson of a thread/forum/the entire site

Did they ever get rid of that time limit on editing posts?

26) Sharing personal details about someone else without asking them. That's not just bad f*****g etiquette, it can be dangerous.

I think so, unless they've changed that. 9999 minutes or something like that.

27. Making lists of etiquette rules when it's much quicker and easier to just flame someone who p*s*es you off :wink:

Posting a thread asking about an issue you have and someone responds to it saying "I have no idea" or "How the heck should I know?" If you don't know the answer, don't respond. It's pretty dissapointing to see you have a reply to your post and you are anxious to hear their response but instead it's "I don't know."

"Welcome to (insert forum name here" and nothing else when it's not even posted in the intro board. Same as when the person is new and asking for advice and instead the newbie gets as her first response "Welcome to (insert forum name here)" and no advice is given.

I'm guilty of that, but have been working on not doing it.
