Dralcax Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 What annoys you on BZPower? For me, it's referring to the AA Toa Nuva as "Mistika" and "Phantoka", when technically, only Krika, Bitil, and Gorast are Mistika and only Antroz, Chirox, and Vamprah are Phantoka. Those terms apply to the Makuta, not the sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sumiki Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 The fact that flame wars seem to erupt every now and then from things that shouldn't be argued over in the first place irritates me - though it really wouldn't be BZPower without the occasional bit of internet drama.The word filter, though solid, really should be updated in some form or another, so as far as something that could easily be changed goes, that'll probably be it.

GeluNumber1 Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 (edited) Not being able to mention a popular video website. And, on that note, not being able to link to sites with forums. Edited December 4, 2011 by GeluNumber1 Quote Why are orange and black such a good color Combination ? Purple is pretty, and so is blue. Pink hurts your eyes, green is quite mellowing, black is very threatning, red is cool, orange is SO awesome, yellow's hard to read... But you can't see white at all! Oh, wait. I forgot brown. Here's my thoughts: If a person tells the truth and says, " I always lie," Is he lying? Or is he telling the truth? And what has a mouth, but no head, and a body, but no torso? Do caterpillars like to tend to supporting colum of stone's every need? Or is that name misleading by nature? Speaking of nature, why are the children of animals called offspring? don't many young beasts come alive in spring, and thus, should be called onspring? Heeeeeeyy.....

Peach 00 Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Not being able to mention a popular video website. And, on that note, not being able to link to sites with forums.The video site can't be mentioned because the comments usually have a lot of profanity in them, which is actually a similar case with Twitter, yet that's allowed somehow. =/Big signature images are exasperating most of the time, sometimes it takes awhile for the page to load if the images are too big. Also, I have no absolutely no problem with the MLP fad, it's much better than the fad that was going on right before the forums went down. Quote On the day the wall came down / They threw the locks onto the ground And with glasses high / We raised a cry / For freedom had arrived On the day the wall came down / The ship of fools had finally run aground Promises lit up the night / Like paper doves in flight I dreamed you had left my side / No warmth, not even pride remained And even though you needed me / It was clear that I could not do a thing for you Now life devalues day by day / As friends and neighbors turn away And there's a change that even with regret / Cannot be undone Now frontiers shift like desert sands / While nations wash their bloodied hands Of loyalty, of history / In shades of grey I woke to the sound of drums / The music played, the morning sun streamed in I turned and I looked at you / And all but the bitter residues slipped away slipped away...

I understand the intention behind it, but it still doesn't really make sense. I mean, MSPA has forums and no one seems to have a problem with talking about it, yet we aren't even allowed to mention a video site that pretty much everyone has heard of just because it has comments.Also, the general attitude toward ArtIII. Sure, there are plenty of bad comics, but it really doesn't deserve the hate it gets and I wish more people would actually give it a chance. =/ Edited December 5, 2011 by Lime Paradox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gatanui Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 (edited) The un-updated word filter. The fact that we can't mention a video site, but the staff can, which is hypocritical.Let me correct you on that. The staff are bound to the rules just as much as the members are. I suppose you are referring to the occasions when a video site that is forbidden on the forums is linked to on the front page. That exception is made when a video and its comments and links to other videos are appropiate. In the forums, it´s impossible to control all posted videos, so better not to allow them at all. On the front page it´s another matter because the staff controls what is posted there and knows it´s appropiate. In the forums, not even the Reporters who would post a link on the front page are allowed to link to any site you must not link to either. ;)My pet peeves are slow loading times when sending PMs, silly disputes and when people can´t simply respect the beliefs and hobbies of another.~Gata.

Squishyfrog Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Props to Bambi for summing up MLP:FiM very well.As for me it's mostly the people who hate Hero Factory/FiM/really anything and only use the exact same argument. Such as "HERO FACTORY SUCKS CAUSE IT REPLACED BIONICLE AND IT'S SETS ARE BABYISH RIPOFFS" and "MLP IS A LITTLE GIRLS SHOW SO ONLY LITTLE GIRLS SHOULD LIKE IT AND ANY GUY WHO LIKES IT IS NOT RIGHT IN THE HEAD" etc, etc. Really, arguments are fine and I believe they are healthy from time to time, but when you only bring up the same arguments that weren't extremely valid to begin with.oh and some other stuff but mostly that one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
