User Engagement What annoys you as an admin or a member?

[Ja sa bong]

Generally, every forum admin will be annoying whenever there's someone spamming their community but aside from that, what else do you experience in your forum which gets on your nerves very much quickly?

The same thing goes for a member, what are the things which you experience being in a forum whether it's from the admin or his staff members or your fellow members that makes you very annoyed?

Disrespect for other members and staff annoys me both as a staff member and as a regular member. Every forum has rules, and 9 times out of 10 there's a rule for treating others with respect. You don't have to agree with everyone on a forum, it's easy to ignore a post that you don't like. You can have civil conversations without name calling.

What annoys me as an admin or what annoys me as a member are two different things. As an admin, I am frequently annoyed when users post a question for the sake of posting question and does not interact with the replies. As a member, I am annoyed when other users try to appear like mr/miss know all.

As a member, the one thing that annoys me is when you get other members who seem to think they can take over the running of the forum and tell you what to do all the time, pick fault with every little thing you do despite the fact it is not something the owner/admin of the community minds.

As an admin, the one thing that annoys me is when you get members come in and they join in with discussions with one or two word answers as though it is a chat room.

Some members like to tell others what to do. They may not be doing that on purpose. Some people like to do that generally.
