What are your Rockslide pet-peeves?

[sndmn11]

I would personally love for people to use the search function more

When someone takes the time to respond to a thread with something unnecessary, like “there’s a great search function here and many threads about this topic.” First, the search function is bad on the mobile Tapatalk version, but great on the web version. So, if you are going to reply in a passive aggressive manner about searching, you should at least tell them that much. Second, just ignore them. Anyone who hasn’t figured out how to use a search function probably doesn’t need your attention.

People who just regurgitate information that they have never validated to any extent...

I like the new term bench racing, and I will add aspirationally internetting.

A small pet peeve is when people throw out their gear resume when it isn't relevant. Ex: I went on a ruck on the farm with my 26.5 exo terratorn in multicam and had my ruger safari 7x57 with rss SWFA and a wood stock. The sunglasses OP asked about would have been a nice addition.

“Shoots MOA to 400 yards”. If a gun has a 1 MOA POI cone, doesn’t that cone extend almost infinitely? At least until the bullet falls out of the sky or becomes unstable.

Caliber/ cartridge grammar police. Stamped by the manufacturer on the barrel of my Tikkas and Browning rifles “Cal 30-06 Springfield, Cal. .243 Win, Cal. 7mm-08 Rem. Caliber / and cartridge can and often do have the same meaning in common usage.

Chili with no beans.

I don't think most people even know it exist. Even on the mobile version it's not hard. it always works best when you change it from "entire site" to "this forum" and you're in the specific forum for whatever topic you're interested in asking about.

Also because most redundant threads have been started by someone sub 200 post it points them in a direction.

How many "best bullet for (insert animal of choice) " threads do we really need?

I’m sorry if the mostly tongue-in-cheek nature of my post wasn’t clear. I couldn’t help but post a pet peeve about your pet peeve and put in my own pet peeve about how bad the Tapatalk search function is on this forum. Have a great day!

. Have a great day!

What if I didn't want a great day? What if I only wanted an average day? Can't always have great days because then a average day becomes a meh-bad day. Which this then makes having a spectacular day a great day instead.

This is mine also and has unfortunately gotten worse in the last couple of years.
