Spam, n00bs, chatspeak, various other annoyances.. Sure, they're bothersome, but do they REALLY hurt you? If someone makes a post that is barely legible at best, does it really hurt your eyes to read it? Do people who act very "n00by" really give you a headache? Are you just saying this because you think people will think it's funny?
I was just wondering, because a lot of the time if someone makes a spam topic, people fly off at them like "OMG YOU ARE SO ANNOYING, WHY DON'T THE MODS HURRY UP AND CLOSE THIS BEFORE IT KILLS ME?!" So yeah, I was curious as to whether or not this could actually happen, and if so.. I'm fascinated, please tell me more!  So yeah, this wasn't meant to be a rant or anything, just wondering if these things really make your head explode.

No, not really. Unless they try to start something.
 I act sarcastic most of the time, though..

I get scared that if people keep posting stuff like that, SA might come and feature us.

I get really annoyed when I can't read something because of horrific chatspeak, but I don't fly off the handle like I've seen a lot of people do. It bothers me to no end, but it doesn't hurt me, and I just don't say anything most of the time.

No. The only reason it would hurt me (my eyes, rather) is if the font is a neon color or it is too tiny. Otherwise, saying it just plain hurts you is ridiculous.

^ Same.
No, it doesnt. Only if the color is bright/hard to read. I dont really pay any mind to n00bs. And when they type in StIcKy or w/e, that is very annoying. but it doesnt hurt me, it is just sometimes difficult to read. |

It's not painful, but after a while there's this fingernail scratching on a chalkboard type reaction/sensation.
At this point, I don't let it get to me. |

Here's to hoping that never happens to us. i remmber that vividly. another reason i left ....  noobs dont bother me. beacsue at one point and time we were just starting off like they were. sticky caps make me dizzy sometimes if they write an entire long post like that. and spam really dosnt bother me beacuse sometimes you can only sum up what you have to say in 2 to 3 words unless its pointless and off topic crap. |

^^^^^^^ agreed.
isn't it annoying though to type like that, rather than just normal english? |

I can't really say much because I haven't been here that long. The only thing that bothers me is when I click on the topic and it takes days to load because I have dialup and then you find out it's some stupid thing that doesn't even make sense. It wastes my time.

No, not at all.
I mean, sure there's tH1s and the colors and fonts, but I usually ignore it. I just don't understand why everyone gangs up on all the "newbies."

It really hurts my eyes when people type in chatspeak and alternating caps and 1337sp34k.. then I have to spend time deciphering their message.

You're right. It's an annoyance. It won't kill anyone. But I still hate it. I think it's a waste of people's time reading through all these topics when half of them are completely pointless and people just want to make them just because they're bored.
