I don't hate the neoboards. I hate it when people ruin them. They could be cool but people completely ruin them.
scammers
spammers
autobuyers and people who use them
chatspeak and the sort.
random guild invites and neofriend requests.

The usual scammers, hackers etc.
-People who post the "am I fat boards" with or without pictures. Its annnoying, I don't hate them.
-People who post hate boards about those people.
-People who talk like they are poor. A few days ago there was the phenomina about that girl, whos username I won't post, who posted about how her house was too small, go see her yellow wockys page. When you went, it was this huge mansion.. Grr.. annoying..
-The darn miniworlds.
-Boards about how bad a celebrity is.
-Shops with music, backround, animations, pictures etc. Which have one cheap item, so you go, and by the time the page is loaded its gone and your looking at a bunch of overpriced items.

-When you get a high score in a game and it won't let you send it: "At this time the process to send your score is unavailable. Please try again later!"

Seriously. There needs to be an option to resend your score if you get this error. Shouldn't be all that hard to code. I have a lot of little technical pet-peves. Things that I can see how to change the code to avoid.

Personaly my biggest pet peeve is being lied to or kept in the dark by TNT. They need to start announcing glitches and what they're doing to fix them. I promise that a reasonable clear explanation about site glitches wouldn't inspire nearly as much panic as leaving people to find out about these things on the neoboards. Perhaps they could create a technical news page that posts things like site traffic and other technical information like glitch info. That way people who don't care (or are too young to understand) don't have to deal with the barage of technical information.

They also need to stop overpromising. For example neoschools. It's something that's made a lot of users, myself included, very dissatisfied with the site. It would have been much better not to have mentioned them or to have said, eventualy, later, we might do them instead of giving us dates and now here it is almost a year later and nothing. So now they have a group of users who are unhappy and it could have been avoided.

Also I'm going to have to agree with insufficient monitoring of the neoboards. I know there arn't enough moderators to do the job, that means they need to get more. Couldn't they at least get some interns or something.

People who report others for no good reason

People who ask for donations or beg.

In addition to many good ones already listed, I believe I have one nobody has said so far.

I hate it when people keep increasing the price on an auction when there's more than a minute left.

I hate one thing mostly... the worst part of Neopets:

:evil: AUTOBUYERS!!!! [/b]

In my book, pet peeves are little things that get to you, usually without a good reason. There are MANY good reasons as to hate the obvious scammer, spammer, hacker, autobuyer, etc.


My (Neo)Pet Peeves:

-Chatspeak is an obvious one. This is a peeve because it's annoying, but there really isn't a good solid reason as to why it shouldn't count as one. "It's annoying" or "it makes the person look lazy/illiterate"; I agree. But 'annoying' is in the eye of the beholder, and it isn't a fact. Plus, it's a little thing, despite how much it gets on our nerves and drives us crazy. It really isn't something that is worthy of our loathing, unlike autobuyers, hackers, etc.

-Neoboard Emoticons. Especially the animated ones and the overuse of them.

-Big Glowy Bold Font.

-Rabid Fangirl Topics on the NeoBoards. "OMG!1 ORLANDO IZ MINE!!1!!!1 *clap* *clap* *clap*" I'm also including boards dedicated to Hilary Duff, Lindsy Lohan, etc.

-Attention Seekers. This includes "my mom died1!" "a killers n my room n is gonna kill me!!!!!!!!! help!" Say your mother DID die, or someone close to you...I don't know about anyone else, but I wouldn't go to complete strangers looking for consolation. If you have no one to talk to about it: go to a counselor or psychiatrist. That's what I do, and I'm fairly content.

One of my main ones is getting a warning and not having a single clue as to why. Why can't they add a quote of the thing you did wrong? Then I could correct it or remember not to do it again T_T.

Also I hate it when people make a big song and dance on the neoboards when you make a typo or spell something wrong. Then fail to even notice that most of the people on there type wrong on perpose.

I notice a lot of criticism about the Neoboards on the site.

[Mystique]

a major gripe besides some of the above is the lag spikes i have been getting which i hardly relate to server congestion..it comes for 10 min then disappears and then comes again soon after...i don't know what's going on with this lag

[toad]

Warning...rant ahead


People that ask what are aviators.
THE BAD QUESTIONS IN THE EDITORIAL!!!!!!!!!!
Does she really have to answer what avatars are or how to get them? You're not even supposed to send that type of thing in.
People who type things like 'My cat smells like an old potatoe' or 'OMG CUM HERE!!!!!!!!!1111111!!!!!!!!1!!' or 'FREE PBS!!1!!!!111' and inside say 'sorry I had to do that, what are avatars'

[Chaud]

Peo who spam. Who hack. Who scam. Who beg.

Attention-seekers. Chatspeak. Hard to see fonts.
