What type of posts annoy you on this site?

[Terri Caton]

The person that asks or tells us about their clowns that are hosting something?
I really wish people could get that one the right way round.

I wish I could give this 2 thumbs up and a crowd of clapping hands!

Those who ask a question and reply “ I ALREADY KNOW THAT”

 

[Stackrat]

The person who responds to someone else's post by saying "Awesome pics" and includes the 78 pictures that the original poster showed us.
Nice to see them once, but scrolling through them five times becomes a little irritating.

peoples do stuff because they do not know what they are dealing with. we are here to help. nothing bothers we all learn from new reefee to experts.

 

[Michael Gray]

what bothers me? when people post thriving reefs and SPS frags. and im only good at killing coral. and especially batting 100% with killing SPS. LOL just some major jealousy.

You wanna know what really, really annoys me?

 

[Old Fritz]

I like going through the unanswered thread and I hate vendor spam as it can sometimes take up a whole page and push other people's threads back

Why does someone think other people care that their clowns are twerking on their powerhead to begin with?

Is this where insert my dendrophylia or whatever it’s called/ NPS /whatever, that has no relevance to the topic?

Instead of looking at the negative aspect, I like it when people ask for help and follow through with what actually worked for them.

Just curious if any type of posts annoy you guys on this site?

For me, it's when people ask help to identify something, and send a picture with blue light only cranked to the max, and the picture is dark. It's like over 50% of the ID threads. Maybe it's just me and I can't filter out blue light or something.

I grew up hearing "no such thing as a stupid question only stupid people" lol, yours sounds a lot nicer.

Anyone who is rude or just downright mean.

Newbies who ask the same question over and over. Do a search first!

This is a contradiction. Telling newbies to search before asking a question? Most new people in the hobby don't know where or what to search so they ask here, kinda what this forum is for...

And there is nothing wrong with that my friend. You'll find most here are eager to help no matter the question.

I have felt that way from first day here, only reason I discovered this site was because I Googled ( seahorse discussion) and this website popped up. After browsing the site I joined that day, and made some new friends and was given tons of help n advice

 

[Pntbll687]

I dislike when people don't search some easily found answers, like "what was your experience using X"

Those questions drive me nuts because it shows they did zero searching for an answer, and want an instant fix for the problem or situation

Fair enough for some things if you don’t know what to even call them. But it’s easy to search on here for things that are common questions. They’ve been asked and answered many times.

Well, present thread certainly excluded, of course, (and the irony is not wasted on me about it) . . . but for me, it is posting pointless, meaningless poll questions for internet likes:

POLL: How many people here feed their fish?

POLL: Do your hermits live in shells?

POLL: What color is your favorite Yellow Tang? Explain in comments.


There. I said it. I feel better now.

Absolutely agree. The endless, repetitive polls just to increase site participation lol.

 

[inletfish]

I hate when post leave no ending. What happened to the coral?! Did the fish make it to the end??

this. for sure.

how did it workout in the end
