Do you suffer from GCR?
 

Greek Chat Redundancy?

If so, stop it.

Thanks.

:o

How many other things could GCR be?

I was thinking Greek Chat Roommate-Blaming

"Oh this account is my roommate's"

or

"OMG my roommate posted that, not me!"

I was waiting for this. :cool:

Nah, that's the also contagious and equally annoying GCRB.

In the same family as GCBB and GCGB (boyfriend and girlfriend blaming).

I was expecting a new disease.

Also, sometimes stupid shit should indeed be dealt with over PM, so I don't go insane reading inane drivel all day. Catfights - it's what's for dinner.

I think you have a bad case of IDA.

Inane Drivel Attraction.

Take two BBQs and call me in the morning. ;)

Incidentally, it's the same remedy for GCR.

Senusret I, you only posted this in Chit Chat. How do you expect people to see it if it's not also posted in Greek Life, Sorority Recruitment, Chapter Operations, Dating & Relationships, and XYZ sorority's forum?

For real. I almost didn't see this thread.

Get it together, Sen!

GCR = Greek Crotch Rotting

^^^ I just threw up a bit in my mouth.

Thanks.

I just shot coffee out of my nose while reading that line.

Thanks a lot...

Thanks doc! I'm feeling moderately, incrementally better already.

Don'r forget GCSB (sibling blaming) and the rarer strain of it, GCTB (twin blaming).

Sen, how will you deal with this epidemic if elected?

If elected, I'll deal with this epidemic by quarantining the afflicted (or as we say in DC, "flicted") and requiring intensive therapy and treatment until such time as the afflicted are ready to be integrated back into GC society.

Is integration really the best policy, Senator?

Hasn't years of research shown us that recidivism levels (in the form of sockpuppets, new troll accounts or the like) are dangerously high, to the point where even the BlueAngel Troop Surge Act of 2007 made little to no headway in solving or even soothing this particular malady?

*raises hand*

Question over here, Senator.

What was your official stance on the BATSA? And a few follow-ups if I may, would you say the surge succeeded or failed? And what if there are signs of another surge on the horizon? How do we best prepare to manage that situation?

Thank you.

*sits back down, pencil poised over pad*

I've got to correct you slightly, right honorable gentleman.

Greek Chat Redundancy CAN be cured with the proper interventions. Even without quarantine, the proper dosage of snark each time it happens will bring more attention to the problem, prevent it in the future, and provide a dose of reality to the offender.

Remember that GCR is a disease, not a crime.

BATSA is -- and remains -- a failure of epic proportions. You cannot cure cancer with a Band Aid. If elected, I will aggressively pursue the terrorists who continue to infiltrate our peaceful republic and eliminate them by any means necessary.

ANY MEANS.

*scribbling furiously*

So are you saying for the record that you're for more aggressive banning and moderation of infiltrators? Are you willing to go as far as IP bans? More public outings of trolls? IRL stalking? How far are we talking here?

*poises pencil again*

I am in favor of a tough, but fair policy which includes equal and even moderation on the part of all moderators -- including full disclosure of the internet policies of all GLOs which have them -- if a brigade of lawyers is to harass us, let's know the rules first, shall we?

This plan also includes a democratic process by which moderators are selected on 12 and 18 month rotations and may only be elected by GreekChat -- no more appointments and no more unlimited consecutive terms!

Once the leadership in place and we have assurances that moderators are not being pissy or sensitive, then we can focus on how moderators communicate with problem posters. A three strike warning system is fair enough for five year olds -- why not us? Have some courtesy and communicate with a poster when you edit, move, or delete their post.

Gone will be the days where GCers can talk like lil bitches to Alpha mods to complain about my coarse language.

Gone will be the days when GCers can threaten to call our national headquarters due to our opinions.

It is THOSE GCers who need to be banned. GCers, our IGNORE buttons still work!

And if need be, I will pursue IP bans, public outings of trolls, and going to cigar shops and judo classes MYSELF and slapping the offenders with my gloves!

Ooo. Ooo. Ooo. Forget running mate; can I be brigadier general of the legal counter-bridage?!

Yes you can!

I'd like to apply for a position with the new and highly esteemed leadership!

Count me in!

I really hope this is a bloodless coup...
