1) Anything to do with Religion or Politics. No one has convinced anyone to change their mind on anything ever on this forum.
2) Small sample size proclamations - also calling for ridiculous trades/demotions/waivers/executions mid-game
3) Anything to do with telling someone their tastes in drinks/food/clothes/lifestyle is/are either too snobbish or too unrefined.
4) 10 page threads between two-three people who just take turns saying the same thing in increasingly condescending language.
5) Anything to do with me that's not about how great I am.
11) Anti-spoiler campaign

There isn't enough going on to [expletive] about, but from the past:
1. boners & fears over the Cubs - Kris Bryant, Theo Joe Maddon oh my!
2. Zeus' ruthless censorship of the babes thread
3. wordy use of metrics/stats for something that is common sense in baseball (frankly doesn't happen too often)
4. threads that are too vast in subject matter - movies, TV thread etc.
5. Leroy

So many good ones already taken, so I'll add to what hasn't been said:
1. Preachy people (ok, I guess there's been variations of this)
2. Any time someone says something like "we should trade Grichuk for a 3.0 WAR SP" without ever giving a name
3. Whenever anyone tries to dethrone Socnorb for The Last Word, regardless of where I stand on the argument
4. The reflex to reply to posts with a Youtube clip of some song no one's cared about in 30 years
5. No other Pelicans fans
