On Music Banter, it really pisses me off when people... (rock, favorite song)

-Respond to topics by saying things like "All mainstream rock" or "All that emo crap"

-People bend the rules of a thread. If the topic is "Your Favorite Song of All Time" then post one damn song. I don't want your top 5.

Add some of your own, I'm going to bed.

But all that emo crap is crap

I hate it when people assume that I can't generalise to make a point.

...get all butthurt over someone else mildly dissing a band they like. (Although it's pretty funny to see these same people turn around and diss bands that other people like.)

... post not-so-witty one word posts ...

... and when they don't post release year with their reviews.

The latter mostly because I've been collecting links for reviews and more than 50% of the time, I have to look up the year myself. It makes it take a lot longer. Plus, shouldn't including it be common sense?

Double post.
Bump a 3 year old thread with an inane comment and are then never to be heard of again.
Post in the songwriting forum and usually only there and constantly expect everyone to fawn over their writing.

Sticking to the talking points that literally everyone else has said prior. Its like a race to use the word "sellout."

This is exacerbated when its used in a thread that has the exact same language used in the prior three pages.

People who's entire post is a picture of an album that doesn't have the name of the band or the name of the album on the artwork.

When you post a detailed & thoughtful response to a thread only to come back the next day & find that your post has been totally ignored and a 3 page off topic discussion has broken out over some useless throwaway comment written by some noob.

This is perhaps the number one reason as to why I seldom partake in discussions on forums. Annoying indeed.

Some more :

- People who use unsourced claims in serious discussions. Not all claims should be sourced, but if they are at all outlandish, then yes please.

- People who post youtube videos without adding any kind of description so that if the link doesn't work or dies, you don't know what the hell they were posting.

^This.

Also, one-word replies, spammers, those psychotic noobs we seem to get on a fortnightly basis, etc

Nail on the head. Its always some base knowledge people are refuting on opinion too. 9 times out of ten its bumper sticker platitudes that are countered by other bumper sticker garbage.
