Multiple people have told you repeatedly that it is irritating and gets on their nerves; continuing to keep up the act despite being told how much negativity it invites in people can be considered flamebaiting. You have been told it makes people annoyed and irritated. Continuing to do it after being asked to stop multiple times is just doing it specifically to irritate and make people react, which is flamebaiting. Think of it as comedic overconfidence. It's a joke I do. Makes posting more fun that typing up monotone post after post. It adds passion and fun to an otherwise depressing day. No one's laughing, and instead, people are getting annoyed and irritated by it, so it's best that you stop. When someone continually stirs up negativity among people even when they know that those actions do that and have been asked or told to stop, we can and will take action. We do not need someone knowingly stirring up negativity in the community.

@Chishio: Orihime always gets kidnapped. When you read the manga before watching an anime you always are "spoiled" way before an intro anyway. You watched BLEACH the show first not the manga?

All I'm saying is that Intro that hints at things in the season and shows cool fights or dark dire scenes stick with me more. The music is fine, but I need scenes in the intro that sends chills down my spine like every episode is a game-changer. I wanna be on the edge of my seat. Season 3's did that. 2 even did it some. But 4th's intro was just so-so. I generally tend not to read manga unless I rather enjoyed the anime or if I disliked how the anime was done and wanna see if the manga is any better. When I watch the anime first and then read the manga, I'm more easily able to enjoy both. I feel like, if I read the manga first and then watch the anime, I run the risk of being unable to enjoy the anime because I know how the story is supposed to be and they may change things in a way I don't like in the anime. Plus, a lot of the time, I would rather just sit back, relax, and watch the story, hence my preference for dubs over subs. That said, I have no problem with watching subbed and will even do so if there's no dub.

Eh, the intro could also hint to things in a... subtle and maybe metaphorical way that you don't notice until you've actually seen that episode that's being hinted to. Like, I watched this one anime where, in the intro, there's a bit where the main character lets himself fall from really high up above a city. While there wasn't an episode where that actually happened to him, it does still hint to/reference something that happens. Most of the opening is basically just a music video, but that one bit actually references something and you don't know until you get to a certain episode.
