EPT2. 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.

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 ) | ||

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

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 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. | ||

Yeah as I said it doesn't happen often, but I have massive confidence issues so when it does I usually take it really hard regardless of what I tell myself. I did actually have someone who had the nerve to complain about me not putting make up on Boxer for his shoot with me - as if I'd have the gall to do something so ridiculous to a veteran player. (Plus I was so nervous I could hardly say much to him let alone ask for anything important lol.) | ||

You're gonna get douche bags like the boxer one regardless...you should just let it slide and know that he's not a person worth dealing with. Otherwise...if it's out of your control, it's like hotbid wrote...it's not your fault, and it's DEFINITELY not a complaint at your ability. Complain along with them...lol. | ||

This reminds me of something that bugs me on forums: people who lecture other posters on proper punctuation, correct spelling, and/or grammar. I mean, it's a post in a forum, not a formal essay, for heaven's sake! Not to mention that the very same posters almost invariably fail to use correct punctuation, spelling, and/or grammar in the very posts they make to admonish others. Oh, by the way, heygk, you made a grammatical error in that sentence. The last item on your list should have been "correct grammar". As written, "correct" modifies only "spelling"; your sentence implies either that you do not like "people who do not use grammar"--a practical impossibility, as all communication involves grammar of some sort--or that you do not like "grammar" itself. | ||

It contributes the fact that something amused you, which is as important as any other opinion of yours, isn't it? Why the bias against brevity? Concision is a virtue. | ||
