GC DSRM - Compendium of Crazy

[Drolefille]

As we know, GC is full of crazy. But when it comes in so many different varieties it can be incredibly difficult to keep track of what kind of crazy you're working with in any given thread.
In this thread we list the different types of GC crazy to provide a reference tool for future GC interactions.


Note: Although the word crazy is and will be used consistently throughout it is not meant to indicate mental illness. Having a mental illness is a lifetime struggle filled with much persecution, being GC crazy could be avoided by STFU.

The start of this thread by itself is crazy...but give me a few....

Matter of fact I will give someone the head start...

The Drama Queen Flouncer (type of crazy - COMMON) - This crazy will typically start a 1st post on GC with a seemingly innocent question, for instance "how to be a part of XYZ sorority". When they get a typical GC response that they can't endure, a tirade ensues which could last anywhere to 3 to 6 pages deep with the DQ being told 6 different ways to Sunday how wrong their approach was with typical comments such as "well my GPA is 3.999" or "my _________ is in XYZ Sorority and she can get me in" and eventually it may even lead the poster to wonder why they are being treated like this on a Greek site. It usually ends with the poster saying that they are leaving....but takes 3 or 4 more posts before they actually leave.

There is no one right way to handle this type crazy short of if you have an inkling of who this person may be IRL, passing the word along.

And, no, this isn't the same as that trainwreck thread.

And, no, we don't need reminders of the trolls and sockpuppets that we have already discussed.

And, no, I don't have anything else to contribute because my idea of a thread like this is completely messy and superexcitingly snarktastic.

Bringing these facts to the attention of the crazy is sure to irk her and is actually a legitimate form of "poking the crazy", as one GCer so aptly puts it.

In the case of this crazy, she can be subdued by the members of AKA Ave, perhaps because the crazy either wants to kiss their asses or be a part of them. Time can only tell.

now i'm just waiting for someone less lazy than me to go in on mustang girl/love bean/miss etiquette

You wouldn't be wrong, but remember that someone's "GC Crazy" is someone else's "GC Awesome."

Drunk Crazy (Rare but persistent)
This type of crazy posts primarily while intoxicated, or communicates so poorly that s/he might as well be drunk anyway because it couldn't hurt. Prone to incredibly off the wall remarks, overuse of smileys particularly , and posts so confusing that even if you weren't trying to snark them you would need a translation.

This poster may frequently be defended by brothers/sisters as well as various "white knights" who insist that this type of crazy is really just "of another generation," "not good with computers" or "a good guy in person." None of these excuse the crazy.

Popular ways to handle this crazy are by snarky 'translations' of everything s/he says, reminder of previous idiotic things that s/he said, and refusing to address the actual point of his/her posts. It's not like s/he will say anything productive anyway.

After many years these posters may be banned and yet still attempt to come back under various sockpuppets (see sockpuppet crazy).

^^^ this may be as close as we can get....I think there may be a subheading added later.
