What's the most aggravating thing that happens on NS? Is it n00bishness, or flaming, or spamming? I hate it most when you write up a big, bad thread, very intent on stomping some idiot flat, and then the mod locks the thread. I realise that they have a job to do, but ARRG! It still pisses me off to no end. Especially since it just happened about a minute ago with the Dalilah Rouge thread. But that kind of talk could get me in trouble. So what do you think?

12 year-olds who are "experts" in history/politics/economics

The n00b flaming/trolling is the worst. (Caribel, anyone? I wonder how long it'll be until they return under a new identity?)

Hate me, I dont mind.. you have your opinion, i accept that.

Mine is that i speak my mind and get punnished.

When potentially good RPs on II get screwed up by inactivity or bickering. II has really big problems right now, especially as it's viewed as a "n00b forum" and all the crap RP thats posted in other forums gets moved there.

The bias against communism. I mean how can you be called a liberal scandinavian paradise or something without having a communist classification? And why do the issues always assume we're capitalist.

Totally. That's when my pet peeve is at its worst. You find some snot-nosed punk who thinks he's ready to debate the entire world, and you write up something to flatten him, but the mods beat you to it.

...Not that I have anything against the mods. *nervous giggle*

You spelled 'punished' wrong. Man, are you lucky the mods locked up your thread. I would have toasted you. No offense, I hope.

mine is when know one replies to my post :( or the fact that I can't have sex and play NS (well I could but then it would lead to the two getting mixed up and me saying "thank god for abortion" in the middle of an orgasm or getting turned on by mods ;) )

All bans on fun

People here aren't funny (Well, some exceptions, but most funny people leave) and when they try to be it's just really annoying. Especially when people quote his minor joke and say LOLZ FUNNIEST THING I'VE EVER READ

Also we can't have avatars.

Avatars wouldn't be very good; they'd probably slow this place down to a crawl. Hell, I can't even view sigs on here without slowing it down.

Yea, we're too big to be cool. Nationstates just doesn't get nice things.

the nazis on here really piss me off.we just got invaded by an offshoot of the aryan army :mad:

Really? hmm..

Fluffle-fests and people that can't write, closely followed by hyper-sensetive mods.

Especially when they mistake "fixating on Military Hardware" with "intelligent debate about history". "Man, the Romans would so win, they had the biggest spear", etc.

All bans on fun
Isn't it "All fun is banned"?

The trick is to have sex first. Then you can post while your woman fixes you a sandwich...mmmm....sandwich....

YUO ACNT RIGHT! :fluffle:

Some still slips through.....like me......16,500 or so times

All bans on fun

Bah! Fun cannot be banned WHile I'm here. :D

It's a tossup between the 12 year old "experts" , the fact that there is a mile long list of threads that aren't allowed , and mods who "hate it when you make more work for them" as if if it's our fault they wanted to be mods.

In Soviet Russia, you frustrate NS!

(Soviet Russia = Teh MoDzOr Cave)

People who act like they know more than the world than you, even though it's kinda obvious that their version of getting informed involves only reading the headlines and not the "filler" that explains what the hell happened.

People who think I'm a Bushivik all because I find the O'Rielly Factor show entertaining. He has lower standards of who he allows on the show than Jerry Springer. Pure comedic gold.

Hard-core liberals. Sorry. I don't like those that far left. They're extremely biased and hostile. If you're not that biased and hostile, then you aren't as hardcore.

The bad atheists and theists. They make it their job to convert everyone and to attack and flame those who don't comply. The good ones debate good. The bad ones are more arguing than debating.

The "everything's Bush's fault" crowd. Seriously, I believe that there is a no diaper policy here. Everyone does wrong sometimes. Therefore, Bush isn't the only one wronging with wrongful wrongs.

But his wrongs continue to kill thousands.

:mad: :mad: :mad: how im always out numbered on issues. also goes in line with, too many liberal users. :mad: :mad:

I am definantly the most agravating thing on NS.

avika buddy, your so right on everything, except i dont watch the O Rielly Factor.

People who call out "troll" or "flamebait".

I would say people who do it unnecessarily, but its always pretty unnecessary really.

70-80% of the posters.

Am I in the 20-30 or 70-80%? ;)

I think it'd be best to just report it and let the mods decide instead of continuing to throw wood on the fire by feeding the troll, if that's actually what it is.

As for my pet peeve? When the "You're wrong, I'm right" crowd don't back up any of their claims, and insist that you're stupid for needing evidence.

What I hate the most is when someone makes a perfectly good post, but with some minor mistake, even a spelling error, and everyone jumps on it as though it makes what they had to say irrelevant. Theres a thread called a question for atheists, which is over 150 pages long but half of these are just bickering about finer points that have no bearing on the debate.

the most frustrating thing is when someone leaves themselves wide open for a bittingly cruel yet hilariously funny come back and i cant post it because its "flaming".


grrrrrrr

that and that no one here has a sense of humor or can figure out when someone is being scarcastic or goofy.

Seconded. I haven't had any contact with the mods yet, though, so not sure about that point.

Vetalia, I would place you in the top 10%, both interesting and under control.

*points and giggles*

When people call you an idiot simpley because you hold a religious belief

People who believe religion is obselete as a concept

Holy post count batman! You have been a busy man while I have been gone. Get yourself a girl lad (and then hook me up with her best friend)

Zig-zactly!

Pfff...looks like we've got another troll. I'll go complain to the mods. ;)

Hey crybabies have feeling too. A lot of them.

Debating with someone that refuses to acknowledge facts. It happens occasionally...

that and that no one here has a sense of humor or can figure out when someone is being scarcastic or goofy.Tis because there's no tone of voice to guide one by and too many people actually have opinions which one would consider so extreme they have to be sarcastic :D

My main problem is when you get in an argument, like the one I had over the (lack of) signifigance in the legend of Lilith, and all that you end up doing is repeating the same damn things, but in slightly different ways.
Secondary problems is people whose only addition is to quote what someone said and say "LOL" or "You pwn'd him" or "Yes, you are right" during a debate. We don't need anymore spamming yesmen in the world, and we don't need any on the Intarweb. Also, people who say source all the time are annoying, especially when they ask for sources on subjective ("I like sauce on my pasta." "Source Please. I don't care what you say. Unless an article on the Intarweb (www.google.com) discusses your pasta preferences, your statement, and any other statement you may make, is invalid), obvious ("Water is wet." "Source Please"), or trivial (I'm to lazy to make an example, imagine one your self) things get annoying real fast.

The fact that no girl here wants me. :(

yeah

but it IS frustrating, eh?

yeah

but it IS frustrating, eh?It's why I'm opting for a sarcasm button to be installed in the posting system that can be set to blink when someone is being sarcastic.
(now the question is: Am I being serious, or is this a joke...? :D)

I have enough problems with sarcasm not being detected in real life because I'm pretty good at controlling my voice... :p

its frustrating that there is no mechanism to end the thread when the definitive answer has been given. in that lillith thread you had the utterly correct indisputable answer to why she is not included in the bible. it was ignored as if it answered nothing and the debate continued on the irrelevant reasons other people brought up

if find that frustrating.

its just not the same when you have typed up something scathingly sarcastic and then have to end it with [/sarcasm] because you know that it was still too subtle.

its just not the same when you have typed up something scathingly sarcastic and then have to end it with [/sarcasm] because you know that it was still too subtle.I guess it varies from person to person. The real problem with it is if it's a post from someone you haven't read anything before or someone you've forgotten and you can't tell whether it really was their opinion or sarcastic... Like the whole ID debates. There's people that quote joke sites that turn out to beleive in it...

I drop it into my "confusing" drawer and not my "frustrating" drawer, though...

lack of sex and hanging out with of Hot Girls, and Really Hot Asian Girls

I just realized:
One of the most frustrating things is that debates tend to start getting interesting only under two conditions, when my battery is about to die and when my library is about to close...

...the fact that I inevitably end up reading threads backwards.
I don't even know why it happens.

I get annoyed by the dinky forum slang like "lol this teh shizz!!!1". If someone's going to be annoying at least they can try to be creative.

It's almost as painful as those myspace profiles with captions like "yo dats so gangsta, holla back gurl!" Fake as hell.

when you post and no one responds

Hmmm, the moderators, republicans and that old guy who thinks he's liberal minded but is actually just a big fart ball...hahaha i haven't said fart in like 3 years.
