Annoying Online Habits

No. 1 t'interweb hate (and text messages) for me has to be alternating cApS aNd LoWeRcAsE - it is stupid, it provides no purpose other than to make it difficult to read and I usually refuse to do so.

The internet should be licensed, and have a minimum age limit of say 18 (but ideally 25) - if you don't vote, drive, pay taxes or the phone/internet bill then stay offline. Unless you're one of the more sensible, mature youths we have here at subsim.com - so maybe a test would be more appropriate, with regular checks?

This I can agree with. The internet is not safe for kids and should not be ever considered safe for kids. The internet is for adults. I hate when changes to the internet are made in the name of "keeping our children safe".

Bovine Faeces! Kids don't need an internet, kids need a controlled intra-net.

But don't infringe on what I, as an adult, can do on something as huge as the Internet Tubes, just because some parent can't control their "precious little angel".

Oh you have touched one of my nerves on this one.

Angle? Would that be an acute angle?

DOH!

It is a fair cop. I may be guilty but it is society's fault. I am a victim too.

Yes. I would also add the use of numbers and symbols in the place of letters. Annoying as hell.
