Here's my list of AH pet-peeves and recommended punishments. Feel free to add or adjust to them as you see fit.
#1.) Anytime a member says "boy, I'd buy that in a minute if it were left handed" we should A.) tar and feather them, and B.) Force them to buy the next left handed gun on the forum. You know, the ones that never ever sell?
#2.) The contorted advice logic. I get these PMs: "Hey, can you help me please!? For free!? I'm looking at this <insert glorious best gun/rifle> and I want to make sure its excellent. My reply is often "yes, its excellent". Their reply is "well I don't know now, I think I'm going to hold out for <insert steaming pile of crap make/model instead>". Recommended punishment: They should be banned from owning <insert glorious best gun/rifle> for a period of ten years.
#3.) The "Don't pay it forward free" guy. After the third "I'll take it" without posting equal quality stuff, we drive over to their house and grab some stuff to post "free".
#4.) The "I bought crap and now I'm selling it to my friends" guy. People ask me: is this shotgun safe to operate with its .017" minimum wall thickness barrels, 3" chambers that should read 2.5", that has extensive pitting?". My reply: "Absolutely not, I told you not to buy it. Or I warned you it was too good to be true, but you bought it anyway". Instead of the person destroying the gun, they are trying to sell a deadly dangerous item off with undisclosed issues on their fellow man. Punishment recommended: Their user avatar on this site needs to say "I suck, I'm a bad human" for a period of 12 months.
#5.) The cry-babies on the Politics thread that can't take constructive contention. They start getting personal and making ad hominem attacks because they don't like other's opinions. Punishment: They swim for an hour in a pool with a rabies infested piranha.
