MLP Forums Pet Peeves

[cmarston1 5,959]

When I constantly get bombarded with notifications and they are just status updates.

Also talking about notifications it is annoying when I click on the symbol and instead of clearing it, it takes me to the full user CP.

When I try to log into MLP Forums but it takes me to Poniverse website instead.

The most annoying would be when I write a really long post, but accidentally click on a different tab and it ends up being destroyed.

Use Lazarus. It is a form recovery tool that safeguards against user mistakes from wiping out content in form fields ... including forum posts.

When I have to wait daaaaayyyys to finally have a reply in an RP.   I NEED to see what is going to happen next so I can post! lol

[Stardust* 3,302]

When the same person posts multiple threads about the same type of thing. Example, using a new thread each time to post art pieces.

When my notifications are spammed with status updates, due to my large friends number. I figured out how to disable status update notifications but before then I would get more than 15 notifications per day for random status updates.

I also hate when on the mobile version, I try to click on something but at that exact moment a banner ad pops up, which scrolls the page down a bit and makes me click something else.

When threads get locked.

That disgusting "edited" thing on your post.

When you click the notifications tab, and it sometimes sends you to your profile hub and still doesn't remove the notifications.

 

Also, anything involving that cesspool of terror, the Debate Pit.

[Jackie Snack 1,498]

The 'topics I've participated in' box on the front page. I replied once to an active topic over a year ago and I still see it. Make it go away!

[Lisa 5,553]

The amount of times I've clicked 'Sign Out' instead of my username or the search function.

I don't really have much issues with forums, but one of the biggest things for me is 

 

1: when I post something and one person says I am wrong then their friends start to join in so I get attacked left and right and it happens to a lot of people as well.

 

2: when people try and start a fight over nothing.

 

3:pointless drama

 

4. bullies I hate when somebody brings other people down for no reason and sometimes they get their friends in on it.

That disgusting "edited" thing on your post.

 

I agree, it's the exact opposite of eyecandy as it's so obvious. I always try to evade editing my posts even if I see typos because I just don't want to see the thing appear.

[twiia 1,843]

Copying others and my posts, especially the welcome posts... O.o

[gamecubeguy214 2,512]

When people refer to users as ''everypony'' ''anypony'' ''somepony''. We are not ponies. We are human.

[Grepper 3,192]

When users I don't know send me a friend request. That means they haven't bothered to read my profile page.

It also bothers me when no one posts behind me for several days in a frequently updated thread, like the last Youtube video you watched thread.

[Luminance 2,186]

Non-members seeing almost everything in your profile like recent posts, topics, blogs, profile feeds, brohoofs, stats, and friends. There should be more autonomy when you're just a guest looking through people's profiles. Only registered members/friends may only see your content.

The fallacious "all bronies are furries" nonsense that occasionally floats around the site. Even if I didn't detest the furry community to unimaginable lengths, I would still disagree with such inane logic.

Well there are a few things that I really hate:

 

1. Running out of topics to post on.

I would like to just continuously post on the forums for hours, unfortunately I can't do that because I always run out of new topics that I care about.

 

2. People not replying to my status.

That is the only reason I use the status. I basically am going like, "hay, I did this, what do you guys think?". Yet I almost never get any replies... If you are on my friends list, always reply to my status updates.

 

3. No one ever messages me for just a friendly conversation...

 

 

*Edit:

 

4. Profile picture size limit.

I have a few, though the one the ones that drives me up a wall are when I'm told MY space is messy, of course it's messy, it's lived in and lots has happend! It will get cleaned when it needs it. Now it does not.
 

On the subject of cleaning up "It doesn't go there" Yes, it's a box, yes there's a game in it, but that game goes in that box and that box goes over there with the other boxes of it's kind. Not, I repeat NOT with those boxes". Explaining 4 generations of console game boxes is an annoyence some times.

​If you move ANYTHING of mine. I will know, don't move it unless you plan on putting it back  EXACTLY how or where you found it. Under piles of paper, I know it's there, in my pockets. I know it's there, in my drawers. I know it's there, frankly I am bit chaotic, but it's my stuff I know where my stuff is, when and where I need it.

​Crisis over....I can now breath again.

1.People who quote my posts simply to say "basically this" or something along those lines.

 

2. Me accidentally "brohoofing" a post.

 

3. People who join this site just to advertise their project that they'll forget about in two days.

 

4. People who always mix up objectively and subjectivity.

 

5. Members who are constantly fishingfor attention.

 

-Mods bullying people who post depressing things.

Have this thing ever happened?

[Mentis Soliloquy 3,025]

I'm just going to say the staff application process...

 

There is nothing in the times I've applied that makes me want to do it again, quite the opposite in fact honestly I've nearly lost all interest of helping this site. I may try again one or twice but if no well I'm not going to try again. I have never seen such blockades for what I see as volunteers, it's their loss not mine I'll just move on and play games and get my job in the police.

 

Any staff read this, I'm aware what bad light this may cast on me but I'd rather be truthful than lie or be deceptive.

People who post status updates and/or blog posts about how depressed they are.
