Message jamestulloch beers 8647 º places 10 º 18:32 Tue 9/6/2016 I love RateBeer. But it has it’s quirks. Post your little annoyances here. Consider it group therapy. I’ll get the ball rolling... The use of ’meh’ at any point in a review. The RateBeer robot ’oops’. Noticing when a beer with 100+ Untappd reviews has yet to be added to RateBeer.

Message Strykzone beers 8457 º places 152 º 19:17 Tue 9/6/2016 I just rated a cider. Hey, a tick is a tick! But this is RateBeer, not RateCider.
Message PhillyBeer2112 beers 3500 º places 102 º 19:31 Tue 9/6/2016 All anyone really needs to say in any review is one of the four following: FUCKINGGOOD GOOD SHITE FUCKINGSHITE anything else is blather

Message bytemesis P beers 15357 º places 1601 º 19:41 Tue 9/6/2016 That half of all new lagers being made are hopped to the gills with new world hops and we have yet to make IPL a style.
Message sethdude beers 708 º places 17 º 19:43 Tue 9/6/2016 Originally posted by Strykzone I just rated a cider. Hey, a tick is a tick! But this is RateBeer, not RateCider. Back in the day, we used to rate Sake and malt beverages (Smirnoff Ice was a whale). Ticks were definitely ticks.
Message ContemplateBeer beers 2092 º places 154 º 19:48 Tue 9/6/2016 -Self serving beer raters (minimal effort to actually describe/evaluate the beer). -People who don’t rate places, or rate places without text, or people who give minimal effort when they do include text. -Not tagging beers, or adding photos when practically able. -Not adding beer descriptions, ditto to the above. -Homers. All of them. No matter where they’re from. -Not being able to appreciate a beer if it isn’t hoppy/sour/funky/barrel-aged. -Reading a beer review, and wondering if the person rating has ever read anything about the style of beer they are drinking, has any appreciation for it’s origin, etc.- especially if it’s not hoppy/sour/funky/barrel-aged. ("It’s malty. Not hoppy. Me not like.") -And, to end with a little self-deprecation, jerks who judge their own beer experience as superior because they think they’re informed about all of the above, or that avoiding all of the above somehow makes them superior.

Message footbalm beers 1219 º places 76 º 20:13 Tue 9/6/2016 Thread shitting is the worse thing that has happened to Ratebeer, You absolutely can’t start a forum thread without the usual assholes turning it from the intended topic to something ridiculous.
