I think its more the fact that.

A. There is no point in posting a thread saying you are back, you are not, quite frankly, that popular.

B. It does come off as immature, and it gets very annoying seeing all these stupid threads.

C. It's stupid.

Maybe a delete wasn't the smartest move that could have been made, (I think giving no explanation does nothing to prevent more of these from showing up) but the point is that nobody wanted to see a thread saying some guy they may or may not remember is back after not posting for, what was it 3 weeks?

So, delete may have been a bit overboard, but I hope you understand why you didn't need to post that thread, and that this one may have been pointless as well.

Well it seems a bit obvious to me. I don't hate you, but I think I can guess.

Some clues: We are on a forum.

This gets rid of racism, sexism, and any other thing like that unless you have told people information about you.

The number one thing we do on a forum is make posts (and read them)

How you write, and what you write about will greatly influence people's opinions about you.

Your signature gives a hint, it appears you know some of the answer already.

I could go into more detail, but I think this is enough to make an intelligent guess. People consider a lot your posts obnoxious, irrelevant, not helpful, and/or poorly composed.

To remedy this, I would consider not creating any new topics for a while, posting in sensible, coherent sentences, and making sure that anything you post is relevant to the topic, helpful, and not mean.

Overall, I didn't even get much of a sense that people felt like they hated you, but if you think you have noticed this, I would strongly suggest considering my advise and doing your best to be a sensible, mature person.

I could be completely wrong, but that's my best guess. If you have any more questions, you may ask me until/(if) this thread is deleted or locked, and than you can PM  me if you are still confused on how to act on a forums.

Besides posting a 'I'm back' topic is generally useless as they know you are back when they see you posting, naming it lolzeh isn't even descriptive. Then creating a new one asking why people hate you and giving choices in your useless poll which are in no way helpful to improve your posting style if you get straight answers goes against common sense.
In other words; hang around with moose as he seems willing to mentor you on forum etiquette. Closed.
I’m busy. I’ll ignore you later.
