    Things about this site that tick you off

    Ok, we all have a great time on this site (right? or we wouldnt be here), and find it a valuable place to trade information and generally while away the hours when we should rightfully be earning our keep. However, there seems to be a few things that get peoples backs up on this site. I figured maybe we should clear the air and voice our opinions (go freedom of speach!), not intending this to be a slagging match, but I thought it might be interesting to see what people think (yes, we know spelling and gramma can upset some people . . . ).

    So, I'll kick it off. I've got four to start with, all revolving around signatures.

    1 - People with over 2mb of images in their signature. Ok, I'm on high speed, both at work and home, but I would hate to think what people on dial up have to wait for some pages to load. I know the images do get cached (if those on dialup can be bothered waiting for them to load in the first place), but part of good browsing practice includes clearing your cache from time to time. So the pics are pretty, but you do get bored of them after seeing them 5 times on one page!

    2 - People with a million smilies in their sig. (IMO smilies are there to elaborate on a message, not distract you!)

    3 - People with massive signatures. Again, read it once, dont need to read it five times on a page, plus when I'm reading something I like it as condensed as possible, rather than having to scroll down for page after page of things I'm not reading.

    4 - People who steal your signature! Unless they had it first, in which case I shall shut up, and you can forget I ever mentioned number four. Was gonna change it anyway . . .

    Ok, so there's my four. Again, this is just for curiosities sake, not suggesting for an instant that we start putting limitations on what you can and cant do on here, KB is a great place just the way it is - but I am interested to see what you all say.

    Cheers!

    Fish, yeah that seems to be a common one

    And not obsessed with sigs, just they are the things I have encountered over the last day or two. Will probably get some red rep for all this, but like I said, I'm just curious to see what you all say - not intending this to become a wish list for the site, or for that matter a shouting match . . . will just see what turns up.

    Is his name seriously Ben Dover? I thought that was some porn star, or is he just taking the piss?

    Blah

    Love the site. My only gripe is the deliberate over use of unnecessary bad language by some. It seems like anything goes sometimes and I wonder what the moderators are doing (or not doing).

    Ever notice that anyone slower than you is an idiot, but anyone going faster is a maniac?
