Not this forum in particular, but Internet forums in general and the people who frequent them. Here are some of mine:
People who make no attempt at punctuation or spelling - like, "doz ne1 hav a video 4 sale need soon plz thx"
Posts that restate another post - Especially when a question is asked and five people answer it exactly the same way. Just say you agree with the previous answer!
Hiding behind freedom of speech - This one really annoys me. Freedom of speech means you're allowed to express your opinion. It doesn't mean that no one is allowed to flame you. In fact, it gives them the right to flame you! I've actually seen people abandon an argument because the other person said their opinion is free speech and can't be put down. Example: "Anyone with a cell phone is an idiot! They're stupid!" - "Hey, lay off. I have one and it serves a useful purpose." - "Well, too bad. I have the right to express my opinon, don't I? That's freedom of speech! I have the right to say people with cell phones are stupid! Don't tell me what I can't say!" -"Sorry, you're right."
Who else? Go ahead and vent, people!:)
