Things that annoy you on the forum

One of the most popular threads under the General Discussion section this past month has been the thread, "Things that annoy you in game." So, I thought why not create one with respect to annoying things on the forum. People seem to enjoy having an opportunity to vent b:chuckle
In addition to providing people with an opportunity to release their stress and frustration, perhaps this thread could also provide the moderators and management team with some useful community feedback regarding how they would like to see the forum managed as well b:pleased
I guess I will start with something that annoys me on the forum - people that start unimaginative copy-cat threads b:sweat
Please close meow!

A couple of things that bug me about forums is that when The Jones blessing page or the DQP page goes down and has been down for a considerable amount of time, the amount of people still posting new threads all asking the same thing; "Is the Jones page down?" "When will the Jones page be fixed?" etc... Even when there happens to be a thread started by the CM stating that it is down and will be down for approx 'x' number of days, or they're not sure how long it'll take to fix. I mean, seriously? Are these people that freaking blind that they cannot see that thread or the numerous others on the same topic & on the same bloody page! b:angry[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

~New Class Suggestion threads.
~Yulk threads.
~Threads that get closed before I can acquire a quick post count.
~Spam-Threads (thankfully gone)

Ok annoying things on the forum:
For me:
-The legendary, but rarely sought WALL-O-TEXT. b:sad
-Gibberish , oh how do i hate it. b:angry
-The lack of use people gives to the lovely bears. b:cry
-Obvious Trolls. b:chuckle0 -
Oh, one more thing.
- Threads about "why r servers down i can't log in" during maintenance.
I know the new announcement system in the forum has lessened the problem by a lot, but there's still always at least one...[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

Well, usually any time something new is introduced there are tons of threads made on the same topic. People just like having their own thread for some reason. Personally making a new one or posting in one that's already one is the same to me. Unless it's something that would require me to edit the first post.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

I know! The only way you can get it wrong is copy and pasting a number in the wrong spot, but all the files are labeled. The code is even labeled saying [Eyes] then gives you all your numbers for changing the eyes. Even without knowing any of the numbers, playing around with it you can get the numbers yourself.VenusArmani - Dreamweaver wrote: »Well, usually any time something new is introduced there are tons of threads made on the same topic.

I know. It's just irritating when something is so obviously ignored like other posts saying the exact same thing.0 -
hard to read coloured strangefont that makesmy brain strain0

Lately, the "How do I do this ini. edit" posts when there is clearly 2 guides posted that give almost every detail on the subject. And instead of asking a question about it on that thread, they make a completely separate thread and ask the question. Most of the time, it's a question that has been answered multiple times throughout the guide posts. The most frequent one would have to be "How do i put male hair on a female character" which is clearly explained in Venus's guide. Makes me want to pull my hair out.
Anyway, done venting that. =D0 -

Agreed.
I also hate when people claim on the forum that they solo things but when you read how they are really multiclienting or using healers. The healer isn't chopped liver or doesn't matter people. And it's not solo if it's more than one character. At least, I don't count it as such. b:chuckle[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
