Actually that one is entertaining, because you can punish people for it.

Doing something after being told not to do it.
That created a multi page spam dialogue iirc.

I don't think he minds spam too much as long as it is not obvious.

Speaking of Asher, does he even post anymore at 'Poly? His vacation was for a week, last I heard, but that was three weeks ago or so.

nah, Ming tolerates some kind of spam... to a certain extent. He even contributes to it when it is not so obvious.
I'd say repeat offenders. By the way, "doing something after being told not to do it" is the same as "repeat offenders", isn't it?

No. A repeat offender is someone who has already been banned, and who promptly returns to get banned again.
Zylka best fits this bill.
Doing something after a mod has explicitly told you not to do it is much more entertaining. It goes like this.
Names are chosen for the sake of the example.
Dr. Spike:
+1
Skanky Burns:
+2
RAH:
Okay that's enough. Next person who spams this thread gets a free vacation to the Islands.
AH:
Why don't you just close this thread. OH, and +1
RAH: 5% PCR. Any other takers?

A repeat offender is usually "habitual"... somebody who does something after being told not to is usually just being a wise ass

When Flash foils his plans to rule the universe.......... again.
I think it is doing something after being told not to.
 ACK!

MtG, Cool Hand Luke was a great movie. You didn't choose the best quote from the Captain though, imho. When he says, "Some men just can't be reached", you just know that Luke is in deeper sh** than ever before.

Somehow I think "Who is Ming's biggest Pet Peeve" would have made a more interesting thread (Albiet a much shorter one.).
I voted Hate Thread/Comments.

Judging by the amount of time he dedicates to it I'd have to say repeat offeneders.

Asher is being re-edumicated. He will come back with a blank gaze and answer all questions with a praise of Macs in a slow monotone voice.

My bad. But then again. We tend to see Mings hand in everything that is done by the mods.
He seems to be...if not omnipotent then at least omnipresent
