I think you generally captured the issue with your point #2 about stating what type of entry was expected.

And #3 being a hanging offence – spot on! That’s frustration and a half!

Fair point on the commenting system …

Form designers should also say if a field is case sensitive and what the expected case is / cases are. Ditto full stops (periods) in names. 2. Another behaviour that irritates is not saying what sort of entry was expected when reporting an error. Just asking people to do it again is unmannerly. Not even highlighting which field is 'wrong' is even more annoying. 3. The one that gets my blood pressure soaring is where the screen flips back to an empty form if /any/ entry is not as expected. That's a hanging offence. Much of this is basic human factors, of course, and is not specific to SEO. Cheers, Roger PS A commenting system that doesn't let people preview their response is also not ideal. 8-) Good stuff, Gab.
