I work for the Department of Defense.

Darkm0d here with what I think is perhaps my 6th or 7th thread ever.

Figured some entertaining discussion could be attained by confessing what habits really grind your gears.

I have 2 forum related ones off the top O' my head:

Excessive quote pyramiding -- I can't stand, on any forum when people don't cut out superfluous reply data from a quote. On forums that allow images, if you post 30 images, and you have 10 people quoting that, you're just retarded. On the other hand, infamous quote pyramids of the days of old were pretty hilarious.

Top Quoting -- Bungie specific one here, not entirely sure why, but it always looks ridiculous to me. It also seems out of proper syntax. I want to read the quote and then the reply, not the other way around.

This is meant to be rather superficial gripes, so go ahead and get it off yer chest!

Agreed, I guess some people read from the bottom up.

Forum related: People who spam links. That's just about it really, not much "annoys" me on a forum. In real life however, quite a number of stuff can tick me off but not to that much of a degree.

On the Left

Godshatter: I can go all the way with someone without being attracted to them.
CamCamm: How does that work?
Godshatter: I'm easily aroused by anything that moves. It's a curse.

I was in complete honestly excepting as much. It's funny when done sarcastically, stupid when done inadvertently.

I sort of relate it to the trendy peeps back in the day who used to type all their replies like so, until I think Shishka started banning for it.

People with a valid discussion who only replies to trolls and derail their own thread

Call me Rdog, not RdOG or RdOG1507. I made that username when I thought it was cool to use alternating capital and lowercase letters...

I was wondering the same thing

I can't stand that space the quote button leaves above a quote.

I hate how the Flood isn't vigorous as it used to be. It seems lifeless and empty. I miss the excessive trolls, John Cena and the lengthy discussions. Is it that Bungie sold the rights to Halo? :(
