You can add "first world problems" as far as I'm concerned as that's just a really annoying cliche that adds nothing to any debate.

I'm not the reporter type, but saw recently a lot of posts in the rMBP section I find quite bothering and pointless:
OP says: "I dropped x, what can I do?"
And then there comes a plethora of smart posters telling him/her to be more careful the next time or that s/he shouldn't have dropped the item in the first place. And just this one-liner, nothing else. I think that's an even greater nuisance than all these 'Steve would have....' comments, as the OP has already enough personal trouble and doesn't need some smarta$$ to tell her/him what s/he knows already.
What do you think?

If it's only a one-liner with no real help offered, you can report them. Frivolous posts are something we weed out.
MR forums has gone to hell since I joined in 2009. In the beginning, everyone was nice, cordial, and helpful. Now you mostly get rudeness. I never surf MR that much anymore. I jump in, look for an answer to my question/problem, then leave.
Proof of this will be the obligatory PM or post here telling me to leave if I don't like it.

You could probably add "MacRumors stole my news article" to the list
Don't forget these:
"How is this news?" - in response to something someone might deem non-newsworthy.
"This is front page worthy?"
or like you said:
"I submited this article to MacRumors. Where's my gold star and credit? Waaahhhhhhh"
+1
(I agree)
I was saying that in 2007....yet I still like it here but notice since the launch of the iphone, a different demographic has taken hold
I kind of miss the "PowerBook G5" thing we had going on there for a while.
It was stupid then and is even dumber now. I dislike that post more than any other on the site.
Sadly we have a new one, off topic "but does it bend" on every article.
Here's a particularly bad example, Mac Pro topic but most of the comments are arguing about phone bending. Mods, please?

As always, the best thing to do is to report any problems you see using the post report button.
