Major things that annoy you online?

[cheat-master30]

As in, mainly forums but also can be websites, chat, wikis, etc.

For me, it is generally these things:

Websites

Overuse of flash. It seems every major web designer now has an obsession with flash and non labelled navigation; moving stuff etc and seems to avoid HTML. It's annoying me for quite a few reasons, some being non bookmarking, others the mystery meat navigation often used and also the fact Google's translator does not translate text in this format.

Pop ups. And worse, spyware filled ads that some ad networks seem to actually allow. Stupid malware. I wish the creators of such stuff were given a life sentence in prison.

Myspace. Myspace for how many profiles are so badly designed and coded.

Bad web design. I don't mean quite bad. Or decent. Or average. I mean the really, really bad attempts in FrontPage or *shudder* Word with broken code, marquees and blinking text and maybe even the whole site made entirely from pictures with no alt text. Those that take like 23 minutes to download (not joking, beware if you have dial up).

Webmasters who quit. Or those which abandon a site, leave it running with no manager and it ends up with them and their staff last visiting three years prior and has become a literal civil war/anarchy situation.

General Forums

Those with nearly no features at all. Which are basically like a web based Usenet group and are entirely text based. Often with a long guide saying not to suggest anything that would make the site seem more modern.

Those with too much stuff. And which uses goes into double/triple navigation bars.

How big forums sometimes become police states and entirely for monetary profit rather than community. I've seen such forums where donators basically become moderators with powers to give infractions to people. And such where avatars/signatures/BB code/whatever are only for paying members. Or those where you must be there over a year and a half to edit your post.

Register to view based forums. Or those with registration only to view the topics. Kind of explanatory.

Internet Privacy Act stuff. Everyone should know it's a total myth and does not exist. However, it seems every site with slightly questionable legality is just taken in by this and has it in the Terms of Service. Must admit though, very, very good way to tell if a site is legal or not.

Multiple releases of the same thing. Or how every minor mod seems to get released multiple times by multiple members. For no real reason. I mean, count the number of Youtube video mods here...

Default styles. Also companies that just frame the default in their site layout.

Colour swap pre-mades. It seems 90% of pre made skins are basically palette swaps of the same base skin. Very much a problem with free skin/style websites online though more than for paid styles.

Community Spirit

Xenophobes. The older veterans which seem to think all newbies are bad and should be shunned away forever.

Leaving topics. Seriously, every member I saw ever that announced they were leaving has returned. Often very shortly after they actually left.

How totally random spam often gets more popular than the intelligent topics. What made me implement someone heres Topickill modification.
