What has GC taught you?

This one. It could be a coincidence but I doubt it. We'll have to wait and see. This person was particularly active lately but has been suprisingly quiet since the posts started yesterday.

Well, she's already switched usernames once...who's to say she HASN'T posted since...just under another name.

I'm clearly missing something here. Anyone want to fill me in?

When things like this happen, it makes me think there should be a thread where GC-questionables are listed... with all their aliases. At least then everyone would know who to watch out for. (Although, in reality, I think such a thread would quickly become a train wreck/flame war.)

GC has taught me that recruitment threads somehow emit some kind of addictive drug. I haven't yet figured out whether the drug is ingested through the eyes (screen) or the fingers (keyboard/mouse), but I'm working on that.

I *think* there might have been a thread like that once but I don't know if it still exists. Still, if it is out there, we can add her name & her aliases to the list.

So true and funny.

I see.

The only other question I have is how people knew for sure that it was the same individual on the other forum. In the posts on the other forum, did the person have the same user name as on GC? Or did the person reference GC? Or is it that someone here on GC already knew her real name, and thus put 2+2 together that it was this individual?

I guess I would just want to be certain that the information was correct/verifiable before condemning a person. (Not to say that anyone was acting without just cause...obviously there are people who have more details than I do!) I'm just curious how the connection was made between a poster on another forum and a poster on GC - I'm assuming perhaps it was one of the scenarios I listed above?

One of the above scenarios. If you're going to do this, at least be smart. GCers are all over the internet.

What other Forum?

There is a poster on GC who is a Ritual Collector and got all kinds of hell about it! He has also given some very great advice and I am glad to call him a friend even being from a different GLO.

But, He collects Rituals and will not divulge their contents. That is His thing as another I know. I have read some and I will not divulge them either.

While thay can be interesting reading it is still for those who are members and become Initiated.

The hatred that comes from some is so sad and uncalled for!

Well, have a good day!

Apparently you haven't been following what has been going on in the thread. This has nothing to do with the male GC poster you referenced.

There is a female GC poster who is planning to go through NPC recruitment in the fall, who joined a ritual collecting forum and obtained several NPC group rituals. (See pages 6-7 of this thread for reference.) Some people are offended that this person went about obtaining these rituals while she is in the process of attempting to rush several of those chapters. I'd hazard a guess that some people might also be concerned that the rituals will be used as retaliation (by publicly posting them on the web) if those groups choose to cut her.

We're not talking about a case of a regular ritual collector like the one you know. (Who some people may also object to, but I think most people would agree that a legit ritual collector who studies them for historical purposes and handles the information w/respect is a different situation than what I just described above.)

I do not know exactly why this person decided to obtain those rituals. The optimist in me would like to believe that they were not obtained for spiteful purposes - I'd like to think that it was misguided curiosity. However, I do think it was not a particularly wise act on her part, especially shortly before recruitment. Regardless of what her true intentions actually were, it looks very bad...and even the perception of something like that is bad enough.

That was very patient of you, I'm impressed. I doubt he gets it though.

I've learned that some people don't learn and don't give up.

Greekchat has taught me that:

A.) Puritans created censorship and are the reason why Americans censor material today.
B.) Wal Mart can freely edit copyrighted material as they see fit. Wal Mart = God?
C.) What the definition of "censor" and "censorship" are according to teh internets dictionary.
