1. When people save their 1000th post for something, Whenver I read a post of theirs there's the glaring post count that is 666 upside down.

2. when people use backwards smilies like (: or D:

D: is understandable i guess, but why (: ?
I always think its a sad face, but then there's the colon right there, and... my eyes can't take it man.

How else would you do D:

I mean, I understand (: because I hate it too. But :o and :O cannot replace D:

EDIT: LOL, I didn't read the last part of your post

I use "D:". There isn't really any other way you can make that smiley, but "(:" is understandable I guess. Personally it doesn't bug me at all, but understandable I guess...

It bugs me when people complain in threads of my photos about things I cannot control like players looking tired (aka dark circles.) or having a big ass or something. It doesn't happen often, but it really annoys me when people have unrealistic expectations for the photos (like me being able to put make up on players beforehand - not only am I not a make up artist, but that would be seen as incredibly rude and inappropriate.) I'm also bugged by forums which allow users to have massive banners as their signature or avatar. Thank god TL isn't like that.

I hate when people spend the time to make a thread looking for strategic help and then try and summon all of their ego and wit trying to defend their gameplay/perspectives. Also I hate when people translate great articulation into great understanding, on this forum there are so many brilliant people with good educations. Yet they choose very strange things to argue.

A dramatic example would be if eriador posted a guide to using queens (this should happen eri) and some D rank terran player completely tries debuff everything he says based upon his first hand knowledge of watching pro gaming.

I love forums that allow all types of massive egos to interact without moderators choosing sides or belittling either person( <3 teamliquid )

I use D: because.. there's no other way to express that feeling.

As for (: I guess it's because some people prefer the text version instead of the picture version?

I really don't think people complain about your photos, if they say a progamer looks tired or fat or whatever its not a direct attack on you.

I use backwards smilies...only 'cause I get annoyed when it gets auto-formatted into the picture one. I don't like it when my little text smilies get changed into the little graphics.

I've been doing it for years...and now it's habit.

A million times this.

XD is the worst face ever, everyone who uses it should die immediately.
