- Forum snobbery. I don't fucking care if you think GBS/FYAD/AI/D&D/Pet Island, etc is the "real" SA and the other forums are just complete shit. Inter-forum drama is nothing more than an attempt to make SA a shitty place to be. Knock on Fark, eBaums or one of the other crap sites out there, don't shit where you sleep. You and your friends are not the kings/queens of SA because you post in X forum. Get over it.
- Internet detectives. There are exceptions to everything of course. If someone is claiming a goon mugged him and raped his cat then yeah, find out what you can, but don't stalk everyone who tells a fucking story in GBS, because that's exactly what the fuck you are doing.
- "LOLZ, look what so and so did at this other forum" I don't fucking care. This is the forum equivalent of pumping out your neighbors septic tank into your friend's living room so you can criticize their shit. Unless the person is running a white slavery ring or begging for help with something in GBS and laughing it up over at the other forum about how they are duping us, it has no place here.
- Cliquey dick-sucking/harassing. It's perfectly fine if you absolutely positively think X user is the greatest goon ever. You don't need to advertise the fact in numerous threads for no particular reason. It's not that I ever really find myself often disagreeing with the sentiment that the people mentioned are good posters, but that the mini-fanclubs are just unnecessary. The reverse applies as well. I don't care if you hate such and such goon because they looked at you wrong during the last Goon Meet. You don't need to post threads about it, buy banner ads, and bring that shit up in thread after thread.
- People who insist that you can't possibly understand their viewpoint because you are black/white/rich/poor, etc and thus have no right to debate the issue. It's one thing to say "Hey, maybe Blair Richboy Worthington III probably finds it hard to relate and understand the plight of the HIV infected in Sudan" it's another to tell them they don't have the right to comment on the issue because they are mentally incapable of understanding the issue and if they disagree with your opinion on the matter, it is only out of ignorance/prejudice.
- Posting about how you just did something incredibly stupid and illegal and expecting the forum to hold its fire. If you tell us you were driving drunk/killing kittens/etc, you will almost certainly get shit on for it and we won't just forget about it so we can shower you with sympathy over how difficult it is to remove human remains from your WRX's grille.
