TiBB's Top 10 most annoying things!

[Benjamin]

10). Double posts

We've all had an encounter with one of these, if you're unlucky enough you've had a triple post. You have to then spend valuable time deleting them, which can sometimes take an eternity to do, and it is really rather frustrating when they do occur.

9). GIFS/Smilies

Now used in moderation they are okay, but when people overuse them or use a gif which is completely irrelevant to whatever it is they are replying really is quite annoying. The same for when somebody butchers a thread or post with an assortment of smilies.

8). People saying they are going to put you on ignore yet don't

Nothing more irritating than when people are having an argument and threaten to put you on ignore yet continue to argue and reply to your messages. JUST PUT THEM ON IGNORE OR STOP SAYING THAT YOU WILL!

7). Meet The Members Thread

A thread, which if used correctly, is a nice way to actually meet the members. However, it is often used by some to fish for compliments, relish in how 'beautiful' people tell them they are or by some the only time they ever post on TiBB is to show us an update of themselves. We don't care.

6). People moaning about warnings

It's a warning. Not an infraction, a warning. Moaning about it is pointless as it hasn't actually given you any infraction points, it's just reminding you to calm down or not do something. Making an appeal about it is even more pointless as it is just a warning and going on about in a thread is just tedious for all to read.


5). Serious Debates section

Again, an area if used correctly can be a good forum, but more often than not a few spoil it by failing to actually debate and instead using it to try and force their opinions on people and get pissy when people have differing views, which leads to them then telling you that you are wrong, uneducated, a **** etc.


4). Spambots

Maybe not so annoying for forum members, but my GOD for the mods they are so annoying. Thousands upon thousands of spambots posting about jerseys, uggs, paris hilton's sex tape etc uncleverly disguised in a jumbled nonsensical story. They arrive in force and often bring reinforcements to hit all at the same time.

WE DON'T WANT YOUR JERSEYS OR UGGS AND NOBODY GIVES A **** ABOUT PARIS HILTONS SEX TAPE!


3). Bumping pointless threads

Just, no! The odd old thread being bumped for a relevant reason is tolerable, but when somebody bumps loads in one fowl swoop for no reason is really irritating. If you have nothing of importance to say then go to Meet the Members.

2). The word 'skype'

This word annoys me so much. If you are going to talk on skype then do it, announcing it to the forum does nothing, nobody cares.


1). The site running slow

You type out a massive post or a witty remark, hit send, and then have to wait twenty minutes for it to post by which time the impact of your post is lost. Even more annoying is when you post and then need to edit either a mistake or something else into it and it takes a lifetime to be able to do so, by which time the forum has moved on and another 40 posts in that thread have been posted.

Excuse me you use smilies quite alot

[King Gizzard]

Agreed with all them really, especially SD section, can guarantee on one rubbish religion thread a week

[Ramsay]

Amazing Ben so true!!!:joker::dance::hello::worship::worship: :elephant:

[Shaun]

having to hold back a LOOOOOT on this :laugh:

1) the fact, and I mean fact, this thread will dissolve into an argument and get locked.
2) Really small aesthetic things about the site. The forum icons are repulsive. I'm sorry Nicky, but they look like they were made for a C-Beebies website.
3) The swear filter. Come on. We talk quite profanely about semen, vaginas, sexism, reality TV and pooing - and that's just the mods - but we can't say we think Britney Spears is **** or exclaim "****ing hell!"? Tired of arguing that though. Live in your bubble where noone swears then. :shrug:
4) the site's tendency to make "heroes" and very repetitive jokes out of those who can't see it. it makes me uneasy that so many members are clearly not "all there" and being laughed at.
5) the PM inbox limit... this is just a personal thing though because I've been here so long and have so many messages I want to save :/
6) The homepage. Tragic.
7) The way you can't silence some of the arcade games... I wanna listen to music while playing Pacman ffs :mad: [and yes I know you can mute just the Flash Player stuff, but what if I'm listening to soundcloud/youtube :idc:]
8) chuff me dizzy-style hysterics. scary number of media reactionaries in the serious debates section.
9) poor vocabulary, the overuse of certain words. vile.
10) People with like 4 gifs (usually of someone like Nicki Minaj, looking atchu armandkay) in their signatures.

[MTVN]

Stop spamming smilies please Karl, putting you on ignore :rolleyes:

[King Gizzard]

Yeah annoying how I have to mute the pc when i'm owning on Snake

[King Gizzard]

what is the pm limit? Do people really have that many pms? that they're going to go look back at?

[MTVN]

Another reason why 3D Pool is great, one of the only silent games

Think the PM limit is 1,000 for normal members, we don't seem to have one though

[King Gizzard]

ohh

[King Gizzard]

I feel annoyed when my PM thing doesn't read Private Messages: Unread 0, Total 0.

[Shaun]

1000 isn't really that many when I get like 100 during running each game/awards show :(

[Novo]

Don't really see why Skype would be annoying it is only ever mentioned in The Bell End by Munchkins Mollie or Locke most the time and they don't copy and paste conversations or anything like that, only ever seen a direct quote from there in someone's sig

[King Gizzard]

it is quite annoying

[Novo]

The most annoying thing is when people take the forum to seriously

[Ramsay]

Heads up, there is a fair few spambots online atm

[Novo]

Actually no i take that back bb12 and Michael21 are the most annoying things about the site by far

[King Gizzard]

Great guys

[Shaun]

in at #3 it's old members coming back and saying the site's boring now. usually a complaint from incredibly dull people.

[King Gizzard]

or when they come back and just talk about old members all the time

or when people obsessively talk about the old days, when they are relatively new to the site themselves, or the days they are referring too weren't actually great

[Novo]

Or when people make a big fuss about leaving then decide to stay on the forum, isn't that right Mr Turtle? :pipe:

Grrrrr.

[Munchkins]

Agreed with all, but the skype one is far too high, i enjoy stanning it, and if that annoys people but gets me new people to chat with then oh well :laugh:

[Me. I Am Salman]

1) People who think they're too good to reply to normal wall posts
2) The arcade highscores
3) Who's Online as it's too intrusive

[Jake.]

Oh 1) can be members who can't take a joke

[Benjamin]

Oh 1) can be members who can't take a joke

Stop being so serious please

[Maia]

How is Skype any different to other things like ********/TC/MSN :suspect:

[Benjamin]

For me it's just because I see that word a lot that it annoys me. It's like when LOL.bye/no1curr was the word of tibb. I don't hate those words but because I see them so much in one go they annoy me. It's like hearing a great song played too much on the radio.

[Livia]

The ignore function.

If you put someone on ignore it should stop them seeing your posts. Ideally, it would also stop you seeing their nonsense when other people quote them. Otherwise what happens is that putting someone on ignore just allows them to trawl round the forum behind you, commenting on your every post and generally trying their best to bait you into responding. If you do respond to the baiting, you're deemed as having contributed to it. If you don't, it just carries on...

Yes Very True

[Kazanne]

One word responses (usually an expletetive)when people are obviously stuck for something to say or unable to debate the issue.

[Kizzy]

What is the problem people have with the serious debates section?
I can't understand why those who don't wish to contribute to the debate get so outraged by them.
Go and chat elsewhere....
Having a view that goes against the general consensus or the more 'popular' members is not a crime either. That is my main gripe on here.
Other than that it's ok.

[InOne]

The fact that interesting debates and topics never seem to get far anymore. General Chat hadn't been posted in for 24 hours the other day.

Also how everyone seems to live in Chat And Games these days.

I agree. The word "debate" needs to be taken away from the word "serious" until some people can understand what a debate actually is.

[InOne]

I agree. The word "debate" needs to be taken away from the word "serious" until some people can understand what a debate actually is.

If it was Serious Debates again it probably wouldn't be as bad. It all went downhill when it got merged with News Stories. It becomes endless links with no real comments.

How is Skype any different to other things like ********/TC/MSN :suspect:

This, it's only brought up like once a month D:

[Niall]

Okay I can't think of ten things so I'm just going to list a few that irritate me instead. :bigsmile:

Smilies - And I'm not talking about how many are actually posted, but rather the ones that are available to be posted. I know this has all been talked about before, but half of them are completely useless in the context of most conversations throughout this site. I mean when is anyone really going to use :flower: in a post (in a serious way)? :conf2:

Little grammatical things - Before I start I'm not talking about that certain member who's gotten a lot of heat over their posting style recently. I'm talking about general things, like people not putting spaces after commas and stuff. It really really really ticks me off I know it's irrational but I just don't understand it. http://agardenoftears.com/edit/data/emoticons/twitch.gif

I'm sure I'll think of more so I'll probably come back and update this if I do remember anything. :suspect:

[Doogle]

On a dull night nothing's going on you still find yourself refreshing new posts a lot and posting in every thread possible just because you don't want to go off TiBB

But that could just be me

It's not even a negative thing, just how addictive this site is

[Niall]

2). The word 'skype'

This word annoys me so much. If you are going to talk on skype then do it, announcing it to the forum does nothing, nobody cares.



I've never really seen people talk about Skype on here? It's weird because I seen people complain about how much it's discussed in not only this thread, but others too. :laugh:

[MTVN]

Niall would you just shut up about skype for one second, jesus :rolleyes:

[Doogle]

WhatsApp is obviously the way forward

[Niall]

omfg get off my back!!!!! :@

That thing sucks and you know it

[Ramsay]

The fact Chat and Games posts dont count
They are posts, they should still be counted

[lily.]

Can we have a "Top 10 most annoying ***** who post here" thread please?

To respond to this topic though..

I don't understand the difference between 'General Chat' and 'Chat & Games'.

I'm beginning to hate WhatsApp now. The 'last seen' thing is controlling my life :bawling:

I don't even have it, all my friends do but people say it's added some crap new features.

I'll wait til I get my new phone, not paying 69p for it on my iPod :joker:

I think you get less nonsense in General Chat and some more serious topics. C&G is gifs, games and in-jokes.
