I hate comments like the first ones too, they're really judgmental. I'm shocked at how many people on a sex toy site of all places are still grossed out by things like BDSM and anal play even though there's so much accurate info here and good experiences being talked about. You'd think that would make them a little more open-minded or at least willing to let other people enjoy what they do without being insulted. less

I don't know if I'm just noticing it more or it's always been this way, but I'm, becoming annoyed with the comments in discussions that aren't in the least helpful. I'm wondering why people are not bothering to take into consideration the category in which they are posting.

For example, I saw a discussion in the BDSM section asking if members would buy a certain product if it were sold here. There were a bunch of the usual, one word replies, but also many stating, "I don't do THAT!" or "That's disgusting". Then why on earth are you cruising this category ?

I just saw another discussion about how many fingers people feel comfortable using for anal. Here again, there are the unhelpful responses that they don't do anal & instead only talk about vaginal fingering.

And finally, I'll give the example of discussions where a member is asking for the difference between two or more vibrating toys as to loudness, power & preference. Pointless responses will range from, "I don't have either, but the first is my favorite!" Huh? Or, "I just have the one & you should get that, it's the best!" Obviously people disregard what the original question is. This then creates a ripple effect for the rest of the comments to follow suit.

It's already clear that people do not read most of the previously posted comments before writing their own, especially if any are longer than a few sentences. Combined with this, it is really adding to the feeling that some are only out to get their points for the day & in the easiest manner possible!

Anyone else annoyed by this? less

I agree!! Just because I do not participate in certain activities--there are many that do and enjoy it. It does not mean that a rude or judgmental comment is needed from those that do not enjoy the activity.

I love the diversity of this site and also have learned a lot about the various other sexual activities others engage in--maybe I will try some and maybe not, but at least I have become more knowledgeable. less

It will probably always be like this for the exact reason you mentioned: It is easy points for those looking to get in, get theirs, and get out.

I just don't click into threads I don't like (unless it is someone I believe to be point farming, at which point I do tend to go in and be a smart ass). Regardless of my stance on things I try to be open minded and to contribute more than "ewwww, you guys are cootified doo-doo heads" to a thread.


Different strokes, I suppose. less

Yeah, non-germane comments bug me...but I'm sure my comments bug some people sometimes, too. I try to just ignore and move on...I'm not the forum police.

I do find it particularly annoying, as FieryRed said, when someone just repeats their vote (usually obviously cut/pasted from the poll option they voted for). Is it really so hard to find a topic that actually interests you, about which you actually have something useful to SAY?? It's so easy to earn the full quota of points for the day, if you have even a few minutes to spare, that it's hard for me to believe that type of comment is anything but point farming.

What I find hard is shutting up after I reach the points limit! less

The only ones that annoy me are the ones where you can tell its just a points collector cause it'll be a poll with like a yes or no and they will write "i do" or "yes" ok well you voted if you dont have anything to add then dont. Or the ones where they just write a word or two and nothing substantial, i always think well there is another 5 points for ya. I love reading all the different points of view on all the subjects and topics on here. less
