There are certain phrases or words that get used as part of our collective CMON vocabulary that I would be happy to never hear again. I will give an example; please feel free to add your own!

\"It\'s not coolphotoornot.com...\"
No, but how can I properly rate something I can\'t see? Bad pic=diminished rating.

Ok, feel free to chime in now, but play nice :D

My pet irritations:

This Sux,

Mobile phone Text message writing,

What is NMM? lol

and last but not least :

What colour do you paint Blood Angels?

Can\'t stand that mobile text writing, surely it takes more effort to write:

h0w d1d u d0 that m8? Its 5w33t

than just to use plain english. After typing that in I\'ve proven that point to myself :)

So long as we don\'t ban any offensive phrases, a day\'s not complete until I\'ve offended at least one person ;)

Oooh...

\'comments please\'

\'please look at my new mini\'

\'what paints should I use?\'

\'Are Vallejo\'s any good?\'

\'why did my minis rating drop with one vote?\'

\'cute\'

\'pro painted/er\'

\'are GW evil?\'

umm... probably a few others, but I\'ll have to go think about it.

:D

\"This is my first (company name here) miniature\"

And your point is....?

Ooooh I\'ve used that one! But I can see that is could be irritating, but if for example you are a Rackham virgin then I can possibly excuse that. Especially if you are then pointing out issues with the sculpt or quality of casting.

Propaintjob: you\'ve offended me. ;) I detest the term Mate, I have a colleague at work who constantly called everyone \"Mate\" until it was forcibly pointed out that :
  • We are not sexual partners
  • We are not in the Navy
  • We worked with him
  • He hasn\'t got any to start with (Billy No-mates)

It goes along with the patronising \"Darling\" that I get from one woman user at work.

\"....I think it would have looked better if you had used metallics/non-metallics \".........Bugger OFF!!!! And stop posting whinges about it on my minis!!!

\"...like the color-scheme and the metallics very much (i hate these NMM, looks like a comic in my opinion).\" And? I like comics!

How about...

\'looks a bit too cartoony for my liking\'

\'great paintjob, hate the figure\'

\'snow bases - how do I make one?\'

It\'s a really good mini. You should try NMM to take it to the next level.

I\'m admittedly not a huge fan of NMM but both tolerate and appreciate it. But the above phrase (and it\'s various paraphrases) drive me up the wall, over the top, though mine-infested no mans land, through a few more trenches and up another wall.

\'This Rox!\' and similar comments without any constructive critisism.....

oh, and \'it\'s not coolpaintjobornot.com\'...which implies we vote for the quality f the mini instead of the paintjob, which is what we\'re actually doing.....grmmmmbblll...

and the glorious snipy whiny comments ofcourse....

oh, and everything Dragonsreach says ;):p:p:plollollollollollollollollollollol

I hate when people say..

\"in retrospect, viewing that particular pewter model sculpt of a scaled down fictional orc character, I find that the overall greenness of the skin adds an air of believabilty to an otherwise fantastical situation. And furthermore, I suggest that the orc character is indeed a metaphor for the dark side of the human experience, lending credibility to the fact that indeed man is inherently evil\"


That is just soooo cliche\'

Two words:

\"Another Mini\"

... yeah, I kinda guessed that, how long does it take you to come up with these clever, descriptive titles?

(I guess that was more that two words)
:rolleyes:

Anything that suggests banning anything at all I guess.... Unless it concerned erm.. necrophilia etc... It would still have to be a pretty convincing argument though :D
