    new people who join and their first post is trying to sell shit and new people who join with their first post just looking to buy things like deja, clarity, through being cool, alchemy index. with their concurrent posts being bumps of said threads. and when they have no success they are never seen or heard from again.
     
    people saying "shoot me offers" in a want to buy thread. that's not how it works dude. probably goes without saying these same people also ask "how much" when people have 'make an offer' in a for sale thread.
     
    a thread de-volving into a pissing contest that lasts 5 or more pages.
     
    this one goes hand in hand and can't exist without the other; people who use the wrong terminology and people who immediately jump on people who use the wrong terminology.
     
    parody threads. thought they were dead for good but they made a comeback recently with that "vagina appreciation thread" and "squirting appreciation."
     
    20 or more people exclaiming in threads "bought it on xxx color!"    "got a shipping notice!"   "got this in the mail today!"
     
    people who call records sexy
     
    feeding trolls just for the sake of feeding trolls
     
    no more "hot topic should press this" threads
     
    repeated thanks, love you, you're the man, awesome job, you rule and your rock directed at Travis. i think he gets it at this point.
     
    people who only accept payment as a gift, people who pay as a gift and people who think bitcoin is ok.
     
    people being thrown in the terrible buyers/sellers/traders thread for no real reason, just because some kid's record doesnt ship the next day, they don't receive their record in as little as a few days or their record arrived with no damage but they're still not happy with how it was packaged

    Thanks all. feels daaaaamn good to do this. looking back now, i wish i had changed the thread title with maybe a brief description. sorry about that.
    @selfreliable, here is my list of things: (excellent question)
    1. ring salvation bells for 4 hrs a day over the weekend. (it was bitterly cold here in KS, so i paid dearly for that one)
    2. gather up cans for our local harvesters. i offered a "can for a can" where i would match a beer per canned good. obvi i did this with friends and family at a function and not just a random spot where i would hand out beer. good news is that word got out and i got friends of friends of friends who came and donated.
    3. volunteered at a local church to help pack up/pick up food for local families. i think it was called 'angel drive' or something like that. drove about an hour away, loaded up 4 minivans of food and put them in baskets that people brought through the line.
    4. drove around the bad parts of KC delivering bags of clothes to kids in my sisters class. she teaches in downtown KC, mostly spanish speaking school (our lady of guadalupe) and they literally have nothing. i drove up to their houses, ran up. knocked on door and ran. this seems dangerous thinking about it. saw some pretty bad situations.
    5. the VC record thingy!!
    the following are next up on list:
    6. my wife works at nursing home and they always need help. will go in soon and do some kind rearranging furniture in rooms and heavy lifting there. i hope to chat it up with some old timers.
    7. helping the local DAV (disabled american veterans). people donate things in a spot outside and its just stacked and piled with no real order to things. ill move the heavy things like TVs, couches, etc. inside and see what else they need.
    8. this year im buying a goat for a woman. my sister in law wanted this as a gift last year to donate and i liked the idea. http://donate.worldvision.org/OA_HTML/xxwv2ibeCCtpItmDspRte.jsp?section=10401&item=1445884
    still thinking of the next two.

    I wish I were super loaded so I could just spend tons of money buying things for people that couldn't afford the things that they deserve

    I've been extremely blessed and fortunate this year and I strongly believe in karma. I've decided to do a few small things here and there for strangers and this will be number 5 on my list of 10 things I wanted to do. I know I'm fairly new here, but please here me out as I think it can be pretty fun. Here's what I've come up with:
    I will buy anyone on this board $50 worth of vinyl of their choice. Nothing costs you a dime. Not even shipping. My only stipulations is that it's not from ebay. Could be your favorite label or distro and can be multiple items totaling no more than $50. Details and links of what you want will be settled through PM.
    If you are interested, just reply in this thread and ill use a random name generator to pick a winner. Contest ends this Sunday at midnight CST. Obviously only one submission per person and if you board veterans know of multiple names or socks, please let me know.
    I just ask that in return you try to do something for someone, I don't care how large and small.
