there are many differences of course... perhaps the largest diff. is the fact this thread was initiated by xltronic.com staff and all the members do is to fill out the form.

Yes but I know there are people here who have been shocked and hurt by the fact people they thought they were liked by have named them as most annoying.
Obviously this person wasn't me as I have been voted most useful/most hillarious by some lovely people (right back at you kids :D)
I'm not trying to be a pain here, but in what way was the fact the question was asked by you any different than if it was asked by just a 'member'?

Seriously...as I said it doesn't bother me at all...but I swear on Kill_Switch's life there genuinely was someone who had their feelings hurt.
I know it was meant as a joke but some people don't see stuff the same way everyone else does and most of those people come to this board :P!

some people are too sensitive - rather too easily hurt.... i know i am far too easily hurt by comments myself...
but on the other hand, what would be the point of discussing with someone, if (s)he is totally insensitive?? i'd rather talk to my pillow then, it would be less likely to hurt me by insulting comments!
i avoid talking to some people on xltronic because they're too insensitive and hurting. i don't know if they are hurting on purpose, or if they just don't realize, because they're insensitive themselves.......
.....but it is kinda sad i think; with people becoming more and more numb to words, communication just means less and less...
(of course, what i think won't affect them in any way, so i know my post is totally useless and i won't be surprised if you (you know who you are...) just remember this sentence and reply: "why are you posting then?")
anyway i'm glad there still are sensitive people here ' _ '
i'd rather talk to an immature person who can be affected too much, than to a mature person who has no heart...

In retrospect I can see that those three
Most annoying member: Most aggressive member: Most overrated member:
Could cause offence, but it depends how you use them and your reason for picking someone. Most aggressive isn't neccessarily a bad thing- I put Titsworth, but only because he does stick to his guns and tends not to "drop" things. That's not a character flaw or anything, I like him a lot, it's just a part of who he is.
Most overrated member: This is probably the most harmless one- if you get awarded this one and you don't post much, you know it's not really serious, I mean if someone put an account that had 4 points, this would clearly be a joke. On the other hand, if you put someone that a lot of other people put down as nicest/most useful/coolest, etc. then it'd be a valid one. Without wishing to blow my own trumpet (just using me as an example so someone doesn't think I'm refering to them :) I got a lot of nominations for nicest/most useful in this thread. So if someone put me as their most overrated it would be a commentry on how that person thought other people's opinion of me was wrong. Personally, I'd not take any offence- if someone thinks you're overrated, it has to mean other (and usually, far more) people like you. We all, with the possible exception of Jand (who I have genuinely not seen anyone have a pop at, ever), have people we don't get along with, ignoring their negative opinions of you is the sensible thing to do.
Most annoying is also pretty jokey- even if you used it to name someone you frequently didn't get along with (to illustrate a point, lets say morton and bill_hicks put each other as theirs) the regulars to the board would probably just get a grin out of it. Some users would probably expect to get this anyway and would take no offense. I don't dislike hyakusen, but he can certainly be "annoying", it's often hard to pinpoint specifics, it's more an opinion formed over a long time from reading dozens of a person's posts (few people would decide th

(few people would decide they considered someone annoying based on one post/thread and hold that for any great length of time).
Finally, these do serve two useful purposes- they gauge popular opinion, if every single person put one person as the most annoying, it would probably work against them if they did something that would warrant a ban. If no one here (and I mean all of us as users- not just admin) likes an individual, why should we tolerate them?
Secondly, they give people who might be "guilty" of these things a chance to see how they're percieved and (perhaps)check their behaviour, "shit- a lot of people think I'm too aggressive, I'd better phrase things more carefully" or "Oh- they don't find my jokes funny- just annoying. Perhaps I should cut down on the joke/nonsense threads etc."
People may think that last reason is unrealistic, I would disagree. Earlier in the year a lot of people thought Zeus came across as very full of himself, after a heart to heart with him he realised that people had a view of him that wasn't like him at all. As it was a few things he said that could of been worded differently or made more obvious they were a joke/lighthearted worked against him. Since then I've noticed his post style has changed slightly (to rectify this) and now a lot more people even if they don't like him (I do like him BTW), at least get along with him.
People will also possibly argue we ought not to change our behaviour to please others- again, whilst I don't think we should go out and start listening to Armand Van Helden compilations and start shopping at gap to "fit in" better, any society places certain restraints on how we behave. Civiliasation is all about keeping our animal instincts in check. With that in mind, we ought to all moderate (no pun intended) our behaviour to a degree, if only to "get along" with those we dislike or in the worst case scenario, avoid a ban.
Sorry, for the essay, but it's christmas, so indulge me ;)

from my experience im annoying right for one or two threads i made. this is strange coz ive seen that many people are spamming threads - not spamming like ******mer, but ( for example) posts like " hey", " yo" "lol"
ive done it also few times, but when i look at threads of others i can easily find more annoying threads/posts than mine's.
im not happy to se that im annoying to many people here, but for fuck sake - these opinions wil not change my behaviour here, im not gonna change my jokes, post,whatever.
its just sad that you can have such opinion for one post/thread/misunderstanding of english grammar
and , lice ecnadniarb said - its sad to see that persons which you thought that they like you - they think that you are annoying - and speak that "annoying" doesnt mean " dislike" - its very similar( at lest for me)

I don't want to get into this too deeply, but you do seem to assume a lot.
"ive done it also few times, but when i look at threads of others i can easily find more annoying threads/posts than
mine's."
when people say they find you annoying, this is how THEY see it - whether YOU think you are less annoying than others is completely beside the point.
"its just sad that you can have such opinion for one post/thread/misunderstanding of english grammar"
maybe, just maybe it isn't just based on one post/thread/misunderstanding of english grammar. you just don't know that.
in general, I wouldn't pay too much attention to it though. at least to me, those answers don't mean that much, really.

as far as i remember im making serious threads, maybe not allways, bot often.
you have results in every post here

you didnt answered my question
you obviously dont get point in this situation.
its easy to say - care about what people say - or - you are annoying
did anyone said to reflex that hes annoying coz he didnt wanted to change his avatar ?
no in fact he was treated as a person with "opersonality"
i wonder - where this respect went ? for me - far away
and now try to answer this :
am i really so annoying ? and if so - why ? try to explain. maybe this will help
