DZ.com pet peeve

Recommended Posts

Quote

Hey Jim! Where ya been? I wonder if Mother Nature is fair to claim as a DZ.com pet peve? She is often the reason for many threads, and the main reason I have two jumps in the last two weeks! Nice to hear from you!



I've been working on my house, and fighting unemployment since July. I've got a jump on the books over there with Donna, it's just that every time I can actually get away, the ceiling is like 800 feet! [:/]

We can't blame dz.com for the weather, but we can complain (a peeve, if you will) about all those posts from people saying how wonderful their weather is, and that they are really, really sorry ours isn't as good (yea, right!).
It's your life, live it!

rev jim complaining about being cold:P

Political debates are mine, i hear enough of it at work.


I really should agree with that, but it's a nice source of locked threads to go back and skim when I'm bored.

Maybe we should have a sub group under "Talkback", called "Religion and Political Threads". They would be so much easier to ignore that way, and the greenies could dump the ones started in the other forums there!

Obviously a Democrat.

I hate when people post:

"Pm'd ya"

Um, okay. I'm sure if you did they are aware without you posting to the general public. Waste of bandwidth.



That, and the other end too:

"Hey, PM me!"

Grrrrr ;)

Now that'd be nice! B|

A dungeon ! :ph34r:

And I would add in the same sub group: Race and moral issues.

And all DZ.commers would have the possibility to hide this entire sub-group. B|B|B|


Politics sucks. >:(

I agree with Dave on this one for sure. Especially if you are giving advice in other forms such as safety and training, gear are rigging and general skydiving. I want to know what your experience level is in order to consider your opinion. I know that may sound a little harsh but there are alot of new jumpers that read here and don't need to get some bad and/or dangerous advice from some nut case. In general talk back a persons profile doesn't mean much except for maybe where they are located, depending on the topic.

But like you said Dave, its nice to know who you are talking to. I figure I don't have to worry about stalkers cause down here in the south, we all have guns and I think its been made pretty clear in several posts.

I can't stand the "moral battles". What's right or wrong in politics and whatnot, ya know, stuff that jumpers really shouldn't concern themselves with. B|



I agree sort of..all should have a concern with the above topics, except not on a computer message board!
And to get back to original post..my pet peeve (if forced to have one would be) complaints and post that have over 450 or more responses that has nothing to do with the original question..some post are here that are way too long..too bad this isn't just a giant live chat room instead of a giant note pad,message board thingy.
Other than that..It is addictive to log on!;)

how about people who post a pick and say "look at this, isnt this funny". You open the pic at work and there's some girls chuf staring your boss in their face....

Hell people, dont you know what NSFW means... its there for a reason....

I mean, its one thing if the attachment's labled "donkey_dick" or something but where its "00011dsp" or some other auto labled bit of smut it really takes the biscuit....

What's your DZ.com pet peeve?

Mine is when a user doesn't enter any info into their profile. A first name and general location would be nice, atleast. Never mind jumper numbers, etc.




Mine is when a person builds themselves up to be what they are not in real life, be it in regards to skydiving or anything else. ;)

totally agree...remember the mutual dissappointment we felt when we met each other pop???



:D:D:D:D:D

Mine is that HH has taken Affirmative Action WAY too far, and allowed Remi to become a Greenie.

And also that OSU fans are allowed to post here. :P
