I guess you could say my pet peeve is making fun of people's triggers.
How nice for you that you don't have any. Other people do.

big old brat tbh
For my own peeve, it's not really TBT specific, but it's just... really pushy and impatient people. Like I'll ask about a trade or send a message of some kind, go get a glass of soda, come back to the computer and there's like four private messages waiting for me because the person didn't get an instantaneous reply. No matter where that happens, it drives me kinda nuts tbh. And yeah, the teeny tiny font or unreadable post colors, but again that's not TBT specific, that's just a forum complaint in general (omg though how does that not hurt people's eyes when they're posting it? Like - I get that you don't see the finished product until you post or if you preview, but why not go back and fix it afterward o.o) Aside from that, I dunno, my experience here has been pretty positive. Not much to complain about.
I've actually received an infraction for posting "this" (or "tru facts" I think, one or two words, something similar) and quoting a reply. It's my one 'n only and I think it expires soon, but yeah. Tacking one word onto your image won't necessarily save you haha
But I'm verbose as hell anyway so I'm not really bothered by it, the post quality thing just gives me an excuse to ramble.

Thank you for saying this. As a woman with PTSD I really appreciate it. The word "triggers" and trigger warnings are commonly abused and misunderstood by those who don't have them... and now I needa take myself right out of this thread because it's gonna get nasty if the trigger warning discussion blows up into some big thing.
In short... all I'll say is this. If you're upset by people posting trigger warnings for legitimate traumatic subjects, 1) be thankful you don't have any bigger problems in life to be upset about, 2) please educate yourself on what it means to have a panic attack triggered, and 3) posting a warning for incredibly sensitive material is not an inconvenience, it's two or three words and does literally ZERO harm, all that can come from warning for potentially traumatic subject matter is GOOD because it enables those of us who have struggles with those issues to protect ourselves.

In general, I don't really get the whole being mean and making caricatures out of individuals for pleasure. I literally cringe every time I read these type of extremely judgmental posts.

It's a caricature of all my pet peeves combined into one. I'm not making fun of all triggers. I am making fun of the over the top triggers.

I think that may be your internet. I haven't come across any problems with the site.
One thing that annoys me a lot on forums in general is that there is a great deal of people just don't bother supporting their point of view when it comes on discussing on a topic. These people would simply answer to the question, but won't even argue on why they say that. To me, an answer without arguing or supporting won't be believable to their readers. I sometimes wonder if they even cared for the readers whenever they post such unjustified opinions. Maybe it's because they're doing that to not only raise their post count faster, but also for gaining bells faster than they normally would.
For instance, how can I tell on why you dislike said video game if you post nothing else than "I hate Game A!"? I know that you hate said game, but what actually made you hate it in first place?

Don't forget there are some people that actually feel the urge to add comments to as many threads as they possibly can regardless of whether they are useful or even relevant to that particular thread. Perhaps those that fail to explain their point of view in discussions fall into the category of just space filling for gaining BTB and/or trying to be counted in the Top 10 Posters of the Day.

Trigger Warning
I hate it when people PM me just to boast about how much BTB/Collectibles they have =.= it's like "yo, I don't care how cool you think you are"
People do that to you? Wow that's really egotistic of them :/
Lol what? How much btb or collectibles someone has is hardly something to brag about.
that is bullying
I dislike when people are selling something, but continue to try to sell when they say they're goign to sell to you all because they randomly send you a pm hours later, you reply after 10 minutes and they just go offline just for this continue for days.
Edit: This isnt really a pet peeve but more of a suggestion, It would be nice that if someone is say inactive for a year? and has less than ( insert Post number here) Their name can be given up for others to use or something? The more post you have the longer you can keep your name if you're inactive. If they try to log on they Get username change thing.
