Why some GLO members don't answer questions

[DrPhil]

Since it is a new year and a lot of people don't read the sticky threads in forums that were posted years ago:

Some members of GLOs don't answer membership questions: (1) we have been asked not to by our NHQ; (2) it compromises the accuracy of information; and (3) we want aspirants to research and figure things out using NHQ website, chapter website, and real life members.

There are times when we respond to threads but, even in those times, aspirants need to know that randoms on the Internet can tell them anything. Please don't let Internet forums replace your brain and the resources you have access to outside of an Internet forum.

I say all of this to say, hopefuls should be respectful of GLO members on the Internet but they also need to check their sources and check the legitimacy of the information. Don't instantly run to and trust message boards, Facebook pages and websites that aren't officially affiliated with the GLO. Talk to real life people and research the information received.

I chalk this up to the prevalence of different sources for information and the Internet rather than age (being younger). Some of us who were collegiate members know what it meant to be pushed to research and be accountable for the information we accessed.

GLOs have different cultures but do you have any thoughts on this, GCers?
