Forum Peeves

[ QUOTE ]
My biggest peeve is when people generally ask for help and no one responds to their posts?

I think its rude - specially when another more prolific poster will post similar and get 2 pages of replies.

Am totally with you on this one, I do get some wonderful advice and really appreciate it, but this is so true

Cliques and rudeness (this forum being the worst I've come across).

People jumping to massive conclusions and labling people just because of badly worded phrases and feelings instead of trying to understand the message (this forum being the worst I've come across).

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes these too, very annoying
 
[ QUOTE ]
people who don't read the post properly before replying.

eg, my pony has started bucking. I have had tack/back/teeth all checked.
Replies say.....maybe look into getting his saddle checked.

OH GOD YEAH!! that is mine too it has got my blood boiling just thinking about it

also the people who PM you and say "i know you in real life and i will tell X that you have talked about them"- it would be much more mature to actually admit who you are...surely?!!

oh yes! the thing is you can always work out who they are....with the person who keeps threatening me i'm storing it up for a rainy day...

My own spelling !!!

That fact that I have no self control and can't help but look at it at least 15 times a day!!

The people I can tell that I wouldn't even like in real life (There are a few of these in soapbox that have fist fights/ scraps etc )

People that ask for advice on their hair (I shouldn't let this annoy me it just does)

I don't mind the genuine advert help - as a collective we offer some pretty good advice + we offer comments on the ones actually published in HH for free, perhaps they should get us to check them all over ?
 
I hate it when people ask for a cc on their horse - and get replies like 'he's got no second thigh (or whatever)'....'is over at the knee'.......'is upright in the pastern'.....this may all be true but i think it sounds rather elitist and snobby. Sorry, but that's my opinion!
 
[ QUOTE ]
The red numbers drive me batty!!!!! Wish they would fix that

[/ QUOTE ]

No!!!!!!!!!!!

I depend on those red number to know if there has been any further responses to posts since I last read them. Leave them alone

But those are all just terms describing the way the horse is made, just as 'chestnut' is a term describing the appearance too. Why would it be 'elitist and snobby'

But there's more than one. Some are female.

Now you're confused.
Male members are usually attached to males.
Very few are attached to females, in my experience (admittedly limited).
Hope that clarifies life for you.

You see? This place is a mine of information!

The Cliquety Cliques. "I can only respond to a post started by/a comment made by a member of my clique" and "I'll agree with everything so-and-so says even if really... I don't".

Oh, and the attention seekers who assume (or pretend to assume) every slightly negative comment made is about them. You're not that important.

"As you all know...".

Well actually no, we don't all know. I'm not on here 24/7 and I doubt many people are (well, maybe a few). So either give the short version or refer to a previous post, but don't assume I have no life other than following yours
grin.gif


[/ QUOTE ] Oh yes, that one annoys me too! You reply to their post and get scolded for not knowing the full details of every other post they have put on here!

[/ QUOTE ]


hmmm wonders if this one is about moi ?
tongue.gif


You should know .... I'm the most important person on this forum
grin.gif



But in all seriousness, I don't want people saying or thinking .... " oh there she goes again , she already said this and that blah blah blah " I dont like repeating myself as its annoying for me and I can imagine its annoying for some other folk .

My pet peeve is those who don't let things go and turn around and say something along the lines of "oh but its a public forum I am entitled to my opinion etc etc when the point has already been made over and over again " .... I mean really .... whats the point in typing out a post that has already been said ?? Personally I can't be arsed

.

My other pet peeve is downright rude posts , if you have nothing nice or constructive to say then say nothing .
 
vague titles - making you open the post to read it, only to find out its something you dont have the slightest interest in. On another forum www.equine-world.co.uk/horse-forums/index.php you can preview the first part of the post without opening the thread so you know what its about before you open it.

i dont get the red numbers here.

text speak

pointless replies like "dont know" or "i agree" making you think someone has replied or added something useful - only to find out they didnt.
