Top Ten Qualities of a Bad Top Ten List

Sometimes a bad list can be spotted from these factors.Whether it be the lack of content or the overly specific titles, these factors will increase the chance of your list being classed as `bad`.
The Top Ten
1 Obviously Rushed With No Real Effort Put In

These lists are usually have no description or comments from the creator, with very simple, obvious items. These lists (along with the rest of these items) are the stereotypical stat padder's list.

2 No Creativity or Thought

'Top Ten Songs That Feature a Male Singer Who Has The Letter 'F' At The Beginning of His Nickname Banging His Head Next To a Female Transgander Celebrity Who Is Eating a Baby'

Example:
Top 10 Songs Between Metallica, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Adele, Linkin Park, AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Nirvana, Nicki Minaj and Cannibal Corpse
(this isn't a real list but I've seen many similar lists on TTT. I even wonder why such lists get approved).

3 Made For a Cheap Laugh

These lists are usually created of a dare, or based on an in joke.Meme lists are acceptable but making constant 'Lana Loud' or 'Gluga' lists will get old and repetitive very quickly.

Top ten animals that would look ugly in a princess dress!

4 Made to Trigger One Person

This is basically all of the 'Top Ten Reasons Why _ is Better Than Liv and Maddie'(Which is a reference to Disney1994, who loved the show), they are uninteresting, and all their items are basically either prasing the better show and insulting Liv and Maddie.

Especially some anime fans. Even though I'm a Naruto fan and don't really care for Bleach or Dragon Ball Z, I don't say insulting things to fans of other mainstreaming anime, I only vote for Naruto.

I hate it when people make lists like "Reasons Why Naruto Sucks" or "Reasons Why Anime Fans Suck", it's just insulting.

5 Controversial Items

Lists with controversial items usually look like troll lists and often they are. Such lists try to elicit an angry response and they often succeed. I have seen many troll lists that got to #1 on the Hottest New Lists just because people had to vote in order to say "this list sucks", "why is this on here? ", or something similar.

Lists with controversial items are one of the purest forms of stat padding because it's easy to get many votes, comments and remixes from angry people. The authors of such lists usually put controversial items purposely - upsetting others is a cheap attempt at getting votes, comments, attention and scores. But because this often works and the authors reach their goals, such lists will appear again in the future.

Putting Justin Bieber, Jake Paul,Hitler, Dora and all these other icons that people obsessively hate on onto a best list on a high ranking will probably annoy them.I usually make my lists with a mix of my own opinion and the community, so I can make a list most people will agree on.If you like the previously mentioned things, good for you, but it's probably not a good idea to put them on a best list.

6 Making It Extremely Specific

Top 10 people with brown eyes who have been within 6 miles of a cliff and went swimming near there.

Stat Padders, I'm looking at you.

7 Inaccurate Information

Admin doesn't correct everything, so be sure to do research if you are unsure about something, or else that list will be completely ruined.

8 Very Similar to Another List
9 Made to Cause Conflict

Making a list on why a user is bad or why they are wrong will probably be returned by Admin.But every so often a list comes out such as 'Worst qualities of a toptenner', and they basically put in everything that this one user has done.

10 A List with Incorrect Items

Another example is the real list of 2017 I mentioned - Top Ten Vegetables You Should Try, where 4 out of 10 "vegetables" are actually fruits.

The Contenders
11 No Description

Not all lists need a list description or item descriptions but some lists need item descriptions. And the author didn't provide them. Example:
Top 10 Famous People Who Were Actually Terrible People
(there were no item descriptions as if everyone is obliged to know what all those people did. Come on, put some effort, give some info, be useful).

I think this speaks for itself.

This was my old lists

12 Has Fewer Than Ten Items

2 or 3 years ago list could be submitted with 4 or 5 items on the list. But ever since I joined TTT, I never found a list without ten items. Cause that featured was cut out long time ago. But I think it was better, cause not all lists need ten items. For example - Top 10 guitar techniques used in shredding, I duplicated some items to submit the list. Because there were hardly 10 items for it.

What if you want to talk about the best continents?

13 Comparing Dissimilar Things

Yeah, adventure time and ebola

Like urinals and anime

14 Bad Jokes
15 Quantity Over Quality

I think this speaks for itself
