My Pet Peeve

I agree with allen. Most of those posts I dont even read because its a waste of my time. Subject matter that has already been discussed.

I think we need to discuss things over and over. That's how we gain real knowledge. It's also more powerful this way.

This knowledge comes from hearing. Not have heard.

You don't start on the boards to then move on to the site, the site comes first. Everyone posting on the boards should then already be on their road to being a DJ. Pathetic subject lines of helplessness show that they skipped that important first step of reading through the site. We are here to help, but at least ask for help in a manner showing you've begun your DJ training.

That's how it worked for me. I read All the site material. Then on to the discussion forum. Then just reading the discussions until I made my way back into multiple pick ups, so I had to start posting.

Just a bump.

Actually the forum looks pretty good these days, but this is a good reminder.

Actually my pet peeve is when newbies give advice without actually having any experience in what they are saying. They reel off information that they've just read someone else say.


There's nothing worse than getting "advice" from these people then seeing one of their posts a week later saying how badly they are doing with women.

I have a lot of pet peeves with certain people in my life (i.e. their habits and motives), but my main pet peeve about this forum?

I'd like to see a Forum Behavioural Guide.
To assist forum members (especially newcomers) in: What, how they should, should'nt do when posting messages.
This will benefit everyone. Lesser time wasted, more efficent discussions, in short.

I wish more people could realize this fact. I agree it's not an easy thing to do. Take me, at this point I have read maybe 20% of all the articles. And believe it or not, less than 50% of the DJ bible!

I think the point of this thread is to be specific when making posts, not to jump on each other.

Think about it. If you give more specific subject titles, the people who are more knowledgable about that topic and have something to contribute will be far more likely to give advice at the post. Also it will save others reading posts time directing them to posts they are more knowledgable about, or curious themselves to the answer.

This is an issue fo efficiency it helps everyone.

Two last comments. First I completely agree with Anti-sump I have no pet peeves this forum is great and has greatly helped all of our lives. Secondly, dont attack people personally, thats real ****. Seriously real ****.

Threads that say:

"Masturbation is evil" or "Masturbation is great"
"Girls prefer a bigger dick"
"The boards have gone downhill" (If you are going to say that, spend as much time posting useful advice as you do posting complaints)
"She looked at me...What does this mean?"

Anything that has to do with:

Flaming
Idiocy
Repetetive crap that could be answered by common thought or searching the site
Bashing any of the moderators for not being on a 29 hour watch
Bashing any of the moderators for doing our job
Steering a topic off course because you didn't like something about the poster

1) The fact that too many threads focus on blaming and complaining about women and not enough focus on taking responsibility for mistakes, learning from them and working out how to choose more wisely in the future.

2) People who jump onto a thread I made an on topic post on and making a personal attack and accusing me of taking the thread off topic when it's them you is being disruptive.

3) Poor english and punctuation.

4) Threads posted to glorify the use of substances. There are teenagers here and some of the older members are very irresponsible and don't bother trying to set a good example for the young guys. That's just in very poor taste.

5) That the PM box is TOO SMALL. It fills up too fast and if you try to answer a PM half the time the person's box is full.

6) The radical anti-feminism posts...there needs to be a Men's Rights forum and only allow those kinds of posts in that section so the negativity stays out of the rest of the forum...especially the mature men section which has been taken over by these kinds of threads and posts.

7) The annoying error message that comes up when there are too many people on the forum.

8) Posts like "read the bible you AFC" and such. Even if the question is stupid...if you're going to post then answer the question. If all you want to do is insult the person don't bother posting.

 

[Wyldfire]

Without even having to open the above ignored post...

See pet peeve numbers 1, 2 and 6.

Add redundancy and repetitive posts that say the same tired old crap over and over and over and over and over again to my list of pet peeves.

 

[The Juan and only]

Wyldfire, you are talking crap dude. The "above post" seemed pretty sensible to me.

 

[penkitten]

my pet peeve:

all threads asking "am i a fag"

dude, only you know if you are a fag, if not dont post this thread and if yes you are, embrace it and move forward. duh!

 

[spider_007]

personaly i think mods should be blowing a lot of threds away, and sending a pm to the guy that made it, and giving him a reason why.

eg; if another guy asks if he should stay with his gurll or leave her.

close & delete the thread. Send a pm saying; "we don't know eather of you, nor do we know the exact circumstances of what is going on (and most of us are not about to read a 10 page report about your love life...). All this forum can help you with is "becoming a better man, and knowing haw the game works...."

this way many people will not be pissed at the mods for deleting their threds, and it will keep the forum cleaner (as much as it's possible...)


I don't think i have any pet peeves
