2. Groups that don't name their files with video resolution on it. How am I supposed to know whether it's 480, 576, or 720p? Granted, sometimes you can make a good guess based on filesize, but it doesn't always work like that.
3. Dedicated QCs. You don't need them. When I encode stuff, and mux and release, I'd do that final QC before release. It's a lot more efficient than waiting for someone else and delaying the release by another x hours.
4. Hardsubbed credits. This can and should be softsubbed.
5. No chapters. I want to hit "Page down" and skip the OP -_-
6. Bureaucracy. If the timer spots a blatant spelling mistake, just correct it! If the editor spots a timing error, just fix it!
7. Elitist attitudes of certain fansub groups. "If you have no experience of doing x, you can't join." We're not pros; we were all beginners at one point. If they are willing to learn, have the time and patience to do it, then why not devote a day or 2 to teach them?
8. Encoders who make their filesizes far too big. 700 MB+ for 720p and 1.5 GB+ for 1080p for a standard 25 minute episode is just lol.
9. Groups that spend more time trolling other groups' releases rather than improving their own.

Be this a good list or not, this is about
