Top Ten Ways to Fail As a TheTopTens User

The Top Ten

  1. Personally attacking other users

    There is a huge difference between fair criticism and ad hominem. Using fair criticism means giving logical reasons to criticize a certain user on their position on a certain topic. Using ad hominems is simply just targeting and attacking the users simply for the sake of targeting them as a user rather than for their opinion on a subject.

    I only want to destroy the world. Not attack other users.

    Ironic, barely anyone here hasn't done it.

  2. Making incomplete lists

    I don't like seeing incomplete lists - it makes me think the author doesn't know enough about the topic and this isn't good.

    Proud to say I've never made a list with less than 10 items (I've made about 90 lists). I actually have one list with less than 10 items but it was because there were no 10 items. There are such cases - if the list is about the best albums by a music artist and he/she released only 4-5. But I'm not talking about similar exceptions.

    Really I don't get how this is annoying or bad. Unless all your lists are like this.

  3. Trolling

  4. Making untrue lists

    Lying is bad. Especially when your list is locked.

  5. Making dumb comments

    I guess I kind of made comments like that before. But I don't know what constitutes "dumb" here. Is it making immature comments or comments with poor grammar?

    Making dumb comments...

    I agere its stupid to see a comment with horribe grammar... Or comment, with lack of respect in topic of TheTopTens list. I calculated: the dumbiest TheTopTens comment is:

    "You st00pid, I had good grammer" (on list about animals).

    Making dumb comments? Like what...?

  6. Making a list that is already on TheTopTens

    What annoys me most about this is how people can get away with ripoffs, by wording them practically the same.

    I made a list then some other guy makes the same list and my list is merged with his! The guy who stole my idea now owns the list

    That's probably the reason why your able to remix lists.

  7. Making untrue comments

    Because if you want to defend something, don't go all out and lie.

    You can make suggesting though.

  8. Putting two of the same item

    I'm not kidding, in the Top 10 Worst Game developers, I saw Dean Hall twice and Rare twice.

  9. Being a hypocrite

    There's something you need to know, all of us will be hypocrite in different circumstances.

    Because nobody likes a hypocrite.

  10. Making lists on subjects you know nothing about

    This is why I don't make lists in many different topics. If I try to make lists related to music, I would probably know nothing of the songs, albums, and singers that I am talking about. I like to make lists where I know about the topic at hand, especially when it comes to anime. But one thing I can do is try to make more video game lists. I like video games, so why not try that category out?

    I think this is the worst and most annoying case. I hate seeing irrelevant and incorrect items - if you make a list about the best speed metal bands, don't put there A7X, Slayer or Arch Enemy, because they are not speed metal.

    An incomplete list is only one of the signs the author doesn't know much about the topic.

  12. ?

    Steal lists from other sites

    13. The Contenders

  13. Bullying

  14. Act like a 6 year old

  15. Not accepting others' opinions

    I've done this a couple of times myself, but I've learned on the top tens not everyone will like everything you do and if they don't like something you do that's okay.

    I hope I'm not becoming another Disney1994 now... I'll try to be more open to people's opinions.

  16. Excessive swearing

    It's ok to vent your curses onto one item, but if you have a dirty-mouth on everthing, it's time to clean your language up.

    You can't cuss on TTT though. At least any of the strong cuss words such as the F word.

    Oh my! My mouth is dirty! Honey, where's the bleach? I want some!

  17. Being immature with you profile bio

    What you type into it can be seen be all, look respectable.

  18. Asking people to follow back

    "Please follow me back, I make random funny cancerous list that targets 7 year olds plus I use click bait titles too, PLEASE LOVE ME! "

    -FladevousEniker in a nutshell

    I don't even care if I am popular or not. I just care about making lists for others.

  19. Trusting users to be honest

  20. Making comments backed up with stupid reasons

    This means your opinion does not deserve respect.

  21. Making bandwagon lists about something

    What I mean was a your trying to make people quit liking whatsoever and filling it with offensive comments just to hurt and convince others to not like something. Thetoptens is not meant for hate at all. Keep it to yourself and don't be a bully.

    Bandwagoning on everything in general should be here and higher. It's a giant plague to the site which ironically is very, very common here.

  22. Constantly talk about characters

  23. Lying in the comments section

    I dislike/hate it when people do this.

  24. Giving your account a stupid name

    Something like RealNickiMinaj whereas there is no such thing as a "real" Nicki Minaj because she herself is fake.

  25. Make unusual lists
