What grinds your gears? Most annoying Reefer forum behaviors.

[siggy]

Remember most giveaways are a marketing attempt for a company and they have a goal and have to do what makes since for them to reach the goal. They are giving us a FREE prize

Yes I get it. My wife caught me buying $$$ corals;Blackeye;Blackeye;Blackeye..NO MORE Facebook for me.... Family only group

Threads where people complain about pricing from vendors whether it is LA or this one. I feel it brings down the mood of R2r. Or maybe just the complaining on forums in general.

WWC pricing is going through the roof

I’m no one to normally complain about coral pricing. But I look around and see WWC is just way out of line with everyone else. Not trying to sound rude, but I’m wondering if they are really trying to pay off the new facility early. no matter the case... wow.

"Stop wishing and start earning..... sorry, not a fan of this mentality. " Anyone who would write or like this statement! People have no clue what others have going on in their lives Like say, medical bills or laid off etc. Taken from a post on WWC prices.

Man I want one of those jellybeans. Someone has some for sale here. I micturate away so much money on other dumb things, I feel like I could justify the price every time I look at it, but it still just hits a price point that I don’t want to admit to spending on a frag!!!!

I agree 1000%. I had to walk away when I read that. I was going to write something that probably would get me banned or at least in time out.

I've a new one since this post is rolling again.

Palytoxin.... messing h-ll g-dm.... no, your bam bams are not going to kill you and your family. Please, for the love of god people, quit posting this nonsense in EVERY zoa thread that ever comes up.

 

[AZMSGT]

Ok I say with this love...


GET OVER THE FACEBOOK ENTRIES!! LOL!!


Seriously though, again, most contests you DON'T have to use FB to enter a contest. IF we ask you too it's because the sponsor wanted it. Remember most giveaways are a marketing attempt for a company and they have a goal and have to do what makes since for them to reach the goal. They are giving us a FREE prize and sometimes, very rarely, they ask that you share on FB. If you don't like it then don't enter.

By telling people to “get over it” or don’t participate is pretty aggravating. Your response was probably not the best.

Complaining in general!!! Agreed!

looks like I’m batting a thousand.

 

[Thaxxx]

There's no way to stop this but, I hate reading a thread when there is no conclusion to the person's problem. No follow up. You never find out how things turned out.

 

[bigkamp]

I am going to get in trouble for this but you did ask....using Dory and Nemo! Really, wow!

Have kids & you’ll understand it’s hard enough to keep there names straight lol dory and Nemo will always be acceptable verbiage here lol

 

[Don Lidtke]

Ya there’s some truth in that which is why adult kids should be able to use the proper names. I have three adult kids.

Is your tank cycled?

 

[dropoff729]

I know on Reptile and car forums, people get their feelings hurt to easy when asking for help or input. Then blame the entire forum. Haven’t been on this one to long so don’t know if it’s the same.

 

[vetteguy53081]

The two I can add the last few months which i'll Never understand:

"EMERGENCY" - My fish won't eat Brine shrimp. What is going on ?? This is an emergency ????

HELP I.D. - I bought these 4 corals at store today and dont know what they are !!!
You bought coral from a pet store- They dont know what they are either? Ever think to take a picture of the label or make a note on the reciept which may contain that info already ? DO YOU BUY AN AIRLINE TICKET BUT HAVE KNOW CLUE WHERE YOU'RE FLYING TO ??

 

[tehmadreefer]

Self proclaimed reef noobs come and post all their problems, then get mad at the answers cos they have 10 years of experience In freshwater and know more than anyone.

Ill be honest, I always ask, but I forget all the time. My memory is extremely spotty....so my short term memory isn't good. It's so bad that I forget to write it down as well. I only remember now via repitition. It's a disability at this point
