Things which irritate me on LJ

1. People who center all their text. Do you have any idea how hard that is to read? Stop doing that. There's a reason text doesn't automatically center.
2. People who fuck with the font colors. If we wanted our font to be in a different color, we'd set it to do that on our friends pages, or within our browser's settings. Stop that. It's not cool, interesting, or worthwhile, it's just hard to read. Oh, and fucking with font sizes? Unless you have a very good reason for this (and it has to be a very good reason, mind) don't do it. It's stupid.
3. People who don't know basic or LJ-HTML, but instead of finding out how to do the HTML instead whine "I'm so sorry I can't do this right" when posting. Use your brain and read the fucking FAQ for a change.
4. Actually, that's it.
Gah, all three things in one half-hour. This must be my lucky day.
Oh, no, wait, I forgot chtspk. Yeah, that sucks. STOP IT.
Oh yes, and large images. WTF is wrong with you? Don't you see what that does to your own journal, and you have to inflict it on random strangers?

Date: 2005-03-03 09:12 am (UTC)It's always irritating when people post long paragraphs of text in 7- or 8-point text... I have to squint to read that. I know, I can hit Ctrl+Plus to increase the font size in Firefox, but it's still bothersome.
And font colors. Invariably, these people always use a relatively dark font color because they have a light background color on their journal. Problem is, I use a black background with white text on mine, as I find that scheme easier to read. Either that, or they'll have a table cell or DIV with a light background color defined but not a font color, which ends up showing up on my friends page as light text on a light background. So either way, it's unreadable.
And don't even get me started on chatspeak. I can understand it for text messages and TTY calls. I can't understand it for LiveJournal posts.
