So this has ALWAYS been a pet peeve of mine; since the beginning of my Sleuthing.

*NOTE: This is not as big of one as the waiter/waitress 'fiasco' was*


Take a look at Sleuth Admin's detective page, for example.

"Politics
Order o Socrates: Good(10)
Arcanum Brthrhd: Good(10)
Cosa Nostra: Poor(-3)
Eastern Triads: Good(10)
Circle of Light: Poor(-2)
Green Hand: Good(10) "

Notice that of is "o", not "of" in Order of Socrates
Notice that Brotherhood is shortened, and the word Dies is completely absent
"La" is missing in La Cosa Nostra
Isn't it "The" Green Hand, "The" Eastern Triads?


Now I know this was done because of margin widths, but can it not be fixed in any way? It's not only annoying, but also can be confusing as to what the factions are called. Perhaps they could even be shortened to just OS, LCN, DAB, GH, CoL, and ET? (Although that would be very confusing as well)



Just something that's always bothered me.

cfm's pet peeve is when people try to figure out what cfm stands for.

Committed Forty Murders

I have revealed cfm?s identity. I must leave before she discovers that I have uncovered her past crimes. She tends to be very punctual in checking the boards, so I don?t have long to live.

My friends at Blood and Dagger are far more experienced at hitting the ?marks than you are, cfm.

How about this when reading posts and you see:

I can understand that some things are inappropriate but why can't the whole post be eliminated??When I see:" This reply has been deleted by a Moderator" all that does is make me curious as to what has been deleted. Why not just delete it all instead of just leaving an avatar and This reply has been deleted by a Moderator??

My pet peeve is when I go to a faction and enter the "buy equipment" area. The only option is leave. I can't go back to the faction to ask about lost treasures or something else without going back to the map and then to the faction again.
