I've got my rant on tonight -
Posts that have a generic title like 'look at this', with no explanation, or 2 words like 'ha ha', and then a link bug me. Tell me something about what's in the link. I know I don't have to read it, I know I can just close it and move on; but for some reason I stay annoyed that that person didn't spend any time telling me why the link is interesting on seccs.
(Edit - qualifying this item as one where a thread is started. If a quicky link is inserted to support a thread in-progress, I have no problem with those.)
Then, I think we have heard before, the term 'train wreck', along with showing graphic pictures of such can be offensive. Let's stay away from that, I won't miss it.
Finally, I get really annoyed when I read a post that sounds like it was written by a 4 year old. I'm talking about spelling errors all over the place, slang, incorrect abbreviations, and improperly constructed sentences (like what we saw last year with the 'lake person'). I'll overlook short bursts of this kind of writing, but when its several sentences or a page full of meandering blabber - to me it's like READING A POST IN ALL CAPS.
Apparently my theme is 'let's be respectful with each other'. Kidding is ok up to a point, then it becomes an issue, like the water gun attack on Tom Cruise. Funnay not found.
