What are your pet hates about this forum?

[ronandannette]

I would say
People that answer questions on here in long paragraph form rather than a simple answer.

Yeah...much less annoying to just put the entire content of your thread in the title and nothing but the words "...and go." in your actual post.

 

[dclpluto]

People that just wants to put people down on their spelling mistakes. Guess they feel better about themselves doing it.

"want", not "wants".

 

[dclpluto]

You feel better now?

Anything condescending.

Oh, they're sexy.

I have a few, but they will have me banned when spoken outloud ;-)

What I pet hate most is when people use titles as 'question' or 'I have this thing'. I use the titles of threads to see if they are interesting. When i use the search option, I mainly search on 'titles only'.
Not being an English speaking native myself, I am not too much bothered by typos or grammar mistakes. I am a bit bothered by punctuation mistakes.

Not a hate or annoyance, just something that makes me wonder: the amount of screen names based on being a mother/father. It makes me wonder how much of this person's identity outside this board is tied to being a parent.

I've not been on here long, but I've lurked on this forum quite often when I was planning my Disney trip back in 2018 and googled questions related to Disney, so I've not got many, but I have one that really annoys me:

The use of abbreviations for daughter, son, husband, wife and then what I dislike most is the D (for dear? or Disney?) that apparently goes along with it. I don't know why it bothers me so much, but I can't help getting annoyed with it.

Dd, ds, and DH have been around for probably at least 30+ years, and are used on message boards far and wide, even if old fashioned. It’s dear/darling, definitely not Disney.

And never a ‘pia’ option.

My cat doesn’t mind zombie threads but she hates all those “name a song” ones. Sorry, low key.

 

[Mysterian]

The best zombie threads are those revived by someone who just recently registered and posts for only a day. They came to a Disney board to engage about very specific topics like Helix haircuts, nose warts, trees growing in their yard... you name it.

Have a goiter? Skip the endocrinologist and consult the Disney fans: Buy a turtleneck, and have a magical day!

I've only seen it on Disney related message boards and websites, so I figured it was mainly Disney slang. Then again, in the past I've mainly been on Dutch message boards and a few British ones, so I probably never came across it.

Still annoys me

My first spotting was ivillage over 20 years ago, but I’ve frequented a dance message board (folks thought it was dance daughter) and a university of Delaware Facebook page (folks thought Delaware daughter), but nope.

I first encountered it on baby name message boards.

Posters who come onto a thread just to shut it down...

I always thought it was a Disney thing as well.
My Dutch mom is an avid scrapbooker who for the past year hangs out on American scrapbook boards. She learned about DD/DS/DH/DW etc there, when she referenced it in conversation, I was so confused. "Why are they talking about Disney on your scrapbook site?"

All the mad face emojis people post when they don’t agree with your point of view.

The laughing smiley used for snarkiness. It seems extra petty/nasty. Also makes you feel like you can’t ever use it because someone might take it wrong.

I also hesitate to use it to laugh with someone for fear they'll think I'm laughing at them. The "Funny Memes" thread is the only thread where I feel like I can use it with reckless abandon.

 

[DisneyHardin]

Mine is that everything turns into a competition in so many threads. It's like everyone has to one-up the previous poster.
