Re: what IRKS you on a message board?


At the end of the day, people do what they think is best for their particular board. But I've seen many instances where having sections which exclude certain members for whatever reason leads to division - those who are among the inner circle, and those who aren't.

IMHO, it would be very off putting to a new member who perhaps can't get on to post much to learn that they will need to post X amount of times before they can access this or that section of the board. And what of invite only forums - are those not invited considered untrustworthy or uninteresting? And if that is the case, why bother posting further?

Not saying that's always, or even often, the case. But it can look like that from the outside looking in.

Re: what IRKS you on a message board?


oh yes, totally agree Moose...a little bit of effort to create some diverse topics wouldn't go a miss.

I see your point Funk, I tend to think members all have the same amount of time as me on the 'tinternet ;-)

Re: what IRKS you on a message board?


Boards with busy patterns and images are a pet peeve of mine. So are animations. And, I hate to say this because I'll probably be in a minority, but I also don't care for signature graphics. They're usually too big and gaudy and have no purpose to them. The ones that link to a board aren't as bad in my eyes, if they're not too large.

Re: what IRKS you on a message board?


The only thing that irks me on a MB are extremely bright colors. It literally makes me nauseous.Other than that, nothing bugs me about MB's. Just the people sometimes.

Re: what IRKS you on a message board?


Looking for the login or logout button is a pain. Even when I know where the button/link is I find it irksome to have to scroll to it all the time.

Re: what IRKS you on a message board?


Image because I wanted to dig up a good discussion topic and (surprise, surprise) talk about it!

Top 3:

3rd worst: Admin doesn't take part in posting or leaves the Mod(s) by themselves with no warning. It also links with not replying to RB staff posts and having forums that aren't current...

2nd worst: Nothing original. In other words, you stick with the same starting background, you don't change any settings and you only have the one starting forum.

1st worst: A board which doesn't ever talk. Sure, I love me some word association but some boards have no real discussion. Or a new member joins in and they don't say hi even.

Re: what IRKS you on a message board?


Some of mine are the same as Messups..

1. The admin is missing or gone most of the time, rarely participates and then comes in mad because no one else is taking an interest and posting either.

2. People not acknowledging others. Just post what interests them and never responds to others.

Re:


Queeny's second one, is what annoys me. "People not acknowledging others. Just post what interests them and never responds to others."

All people need cared about. They often don't come back because no one cares about them.

Re: what IRKS you on a message board?


Exactly SUSA...I feel that a board is sort of a HOME, and the people who come there should be made into a family of sorts.
They start off with an interest in something, that is what draws them to any certain board. But then they start to post about other stuff and daily life and become friends...
I believe all boards have this....but those that nurture it, like mine did, and like SUSA'S does now, those are the boards that last a long time.. emoticon

Re: what IRKS you on a message board?


I'm with y'all. I find it a big turn-off if I join a board and don't get a welcome or two. It's not that I expect everyone to reply to everyone but (especially for newbies) they should get some acknowledgement!
