POLL: Most irritating/unhelpful/redundant TB replies

[SanDiegoHarry]

There are folks who seem to *refuse* to use google or do a simple search of the forums; But there are polite ways to remind them to do so that are better than "Try searching, numbnutz!"

FIRE HIM!

Exactly. I think most of us would be more willing to help someone who shows evidence of research rather than " just answer my question ". A simple: "Hey, this thread stated one thing and another thread stated the opposite. Which one should I follow?".

Great shout! However I believe that would fall under most irritating and redundant thread "titles", this falls more under the umbrella of replies.

Actually, come to think of it. THIS could apply to this poll.....many times during a discussion or a classified ad, some jokester would whip out the WTB_FM line........for example, here's one that was not a title, but iterated a couple times in the same thread
.... "what's the best taco for metal?"

WOMP WOMP

 

[IngloriousOz]

what irritates me the most is ridiculous threads that are like all the others; except with a slight twist to make them just a little different than the rest-
for example-
"is 5.65 lbs too heavy for a micro bass head if it is fitting in a gig bag?" stuff like that.

Clever clever #Topical

 

[RED J]

Unequivocal opinions about if you should/should not use a pick, and that if you do, you are/are not a 'real' bass player - followed by the usual litany of redundant responses about all the famous bass players that have used a pick...

Pick !! he said Pick !!!!

I find almost nothing annoying on this site, except for possibly the 'use the search function'. This is a big site, with lots of traffic.

Well, there are a few things I find annoying, but it's not any one phrase or particular subject. In the interest of keeping this thread to sub-30 pages, I won't mention them, since I'll only have myself to blame for getting myself annoyed.

The last 24 pages are all yours. Go nuts!

25 year relic comment makes me want to rip my hair out the most

What's a 25 year relic comment ?

3rd poll question down

Once you go nuts, you never go chips again...

But seriously, I guess it's more of a poster's behaviour, rather that what they say that irks me somewhat. Well, there is that whole anti-lefty teasing that occasionally rears its right-handedness head.

All right, well here's one that's sure to get some people to anti-like this post (doesn't really annoy me, but I'm reaching here, purely for entertainment purposes): the (sometimes) exhaustive list of gear a person might have in their signature. Especially if they only impart a short, terse, one-sentence post in a response. It was quite funny at first, but then, it's like in my face all the time. Like, I get it, your basses are intrinsically more valuable than my combined lifetime earning power, and this site does function as a word-of-mouth advertising GAS station, but c'mon.

24 more pages!!!

Can of worms alert!

This should be multiple choice. Also best ___ for metal is mysteriously absent.

 

[IngloriousOz]

Haha! Best ____ for Metal will always win the prize for most redundant and obnoxious *title* however I don't see that applying to the *replies* poll! Also multiple choice wouldn't be as fun

 

[john_g]

How about the "tone is in your hands/to get that persons sound you need to chop off his hands and attach them to your body" one?

 

[Walfretless5]

Can I pick them all? They all are annoying on some level.

 

[2milehighspike]

BWWWWAAAHHHHAAAA!!! You guys crack me UP!!!! The what is best for metal is priceless, but the "I just blew my money on a 8ball and if it was a 3 string I would be alloverit has GOT to be right up there!!!

 

[wmhill]

I love the one dude that when anyone speaks of speakers, wattage, ohmage etc.... posts "do a search" in giant letters, then a page later does it again in even bigger fonts! And if it's mixed driver sizes he has a bunch of made up science that he quotes before we goes into his other famous quote "THERRE IS NOOOO.......". I have him ignored, but I kind of miss his special brand stupid.

 

[peledog]

'Don't get me wrong, I have two Fenders...' to skirt around any anti-Fender opinion.

Grammar nazi's are a necessary evil, because people type like crap and can't spell. IMO. YMMV. IME. IMHO.
