Ive read this whole thread and am surprised no one has mentioned this one yet:
Marketing something in the main forum. Some seem to think that as long as they are not peddling lumber or slate, it's OK to post something they are selling (whether it's lessons, dvd's, a tournament being promoted, yada yada...ad nauseum) in the main forum, whether starting a thread or posting in someone else's thread at every opportunity.
I'm open to buying just about anything pool related, but anything pushed at me in the above described manner goes on my "do not buy ever" list. Use the appropriate forum.
One thing not mentioned yet about the huge pictures, in sigs or otherwise, is when it is too big for the width of the screen at default magnification it's a pain in the ass. Now everyone else has to scroll right and left to read EVERY line of EVERY post on that page of the thread.
