The Most Annoying Things About This Soaps Forum
1. (easily the most annoying) those who seek fame & fortune (?!) by posting an empty thread 6 hours prior to the airing of the latest episode;
2. people who reply to the above before they have seen the programme just to say how much they're looking forward to it; 3. dredfull spelling, gramma and punktuashion; Any more, anyone?

It is almost impossible to have an intelligent discussion about anything because within a few posts someone is bound to post something along the lines of "Corrie is crap" or "Emmerdale is rubbish". And the fact that way too many people take the soaps way too seriously. Let's face it, soaps are utter rubbish and a complete waste of time, and it's tragic that so many people spend so much time sitting in front of them and talking about them. I do it myself - not every day, nor every week, but I do it. But I wish I were out enjoying life or reading a good book or learning Japanese instead. Txt spk. It's not clever, even on a mobile phone, and on a public forum it's downright childish. |

4. People who throw away or trash an idea from EastEnders 3 months before it's even aired; "The return of the mitchells will be crap" or "2 minutes silence, that will be awful"
5. People who make threads complaining about what they don't like. |

6. Posters who debate the soaps as if the characters are real.

The amount of people who actually post during the soap.
I don't honestly believe they are able to concentrate fully on the program while pulling it to pieces on here! |

Threads that are called: "Hottest people in Hollyoaks" or "Your top ten actors this week".
Infact threads like this one are annoying. But it will actually be useful.

7. People posting major story line spoilers in the actual topic thread title. They give the reader no chance to avoid them.
eg. OMG xyz killed abc !!!! or Is it true? Is xyz the REAL father of abc? Also those who don't use the spoiler tag and reveal plot lines too. The spoiler tag is the faint capital S on the far right list of icons when typing in a message. |
