1. That One That Can't Stop Using Smileys.

Smileys can be awesome. When used sparingly and in the right circumstances. Like when you say something cheeky or when you adding an ":P" to show that you're just joking. But. You WILL get the occasional person who sees it fit to use smileys at the end of everything they type.

They may even invent news smileys you weren't sure existed and didn't think there was need for. the problem with this is its just annoying because people can take so many liberties with making them up it almost looks like cartoon swearwords

2, That One Who Knows He's Spelling Words Wrong But Won't Correct It.

I once had an argument with someone joining the server who was making a spelling mistake every 3rd word. Now i don't mind abbreviations, For instance you into U is OK in my book. some people see it as lazy but its valid. but when people make huge typos and then say "It's because im typing fast". You try and tell them typing fast isn't a reason for making typos its the excuse for over abbreviation.

And the thing that really gets my goat is the fact they continue even after they've been told to stop writing like morons.

3, That One Who Thrusts Himself Into Mod/Admin In-Jokes to Speed Up Integration.

This one may not be as obvious for some of you. But I've noticed it a fair few times.

It's essentially when a relatively new players who insists on speaking to the staff of a server like they're his best friends hes known for years and kinda trying too hard when it comes to jokes among already established friends. and yes it may be me being a bitch but its annoying. trust and friendships is earned over times that is organic. it can't be rushed or forced. and the more people try to get their feet under the table the more uncomfortable and on edge it makes those who care for the server and the community.

4. The One That's Clearly Using Gender As A Weapon.

Oh you all know this one, its been spoken about before. They Arrive on the server with a name like XxXCuteySnugglesXxX. and immediately start chatting up the young men on server and putting "x"s at the end of ALL the sentences. The reason this annoys everyone who is old enough to have hair in odd places is that its either clearly a man or a girl who is using her gender as a weapon to gain an advantage over other players. In True Cop-Out form i say you read the link article into why this is a bad thing. Incidentally that linked blog was written by sleepingdragon80. who i happened to meet and fall in love with on server (we've been together more than a year and I've never been happier).

5, The One That's A PlanetMinecraft Reviewer

The first one of theses i encountered had me kinda bamboozled. i had never heard of this site and wasn't sure how legit his claims were. but his demands for op and fly commands made me assume the worst. so after hearing him use the language he wouldn't kiss his own mother with in response i banned him. after a bit of research it was pointed out there wasn't any team of reviewers that would have any real negative impact if they didnt get special treatment. Ever since then these guys get instabanned

The PMC Reviewers are fun, I like to troll them and then ban them.

What about the people who type everything in caps Except for the "apology for the caps" at the end?
Sometimes the apology is longer than the previous sentence..
Why don't they use that time to correct the sentence itself instead?
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear..

I don't agree with the 1st and 2nd statement, it seems you're taking stuff too seriously and being too easily annoyed by theese, also smileys can determine mood rather than jokes and such, and who cares if someone has typos? I feel way more annoyed when people use U, Y and C, and abreviations are not for writing fast, I write fast without them, and sometimes have typos on words which can't possibly be abreviated. The rest is pretty good, I agree with most of it, and has reasonable arguements, so great job!
