Fake/Phony Alums?

As wackafarts as that one is, using her full name would probably give her some sort of thrill.

Haha, I first thought you said "blurt out her real name".

Yikes!! No nooooo. Perhaps I should use another word.

Blocking out her name is pointless. She has a link to her blog that gives her full name and it's not a common name either. I'm all for protecting ones privacy, but not if they don't care and put their info out there already.

It would be GC ToS violation, for the record. It's probably not worth getting banned over.

@ Nanners: Her at least appearing not to care does not translate to it being okay for GCers to post something with her real name.

And if GCers have so much contact with misscherrypie outside of GC, why is this being handled in this thread rather than outside of GC?

ETA: Thanks, DeltaBetaBaby. Some people don't care about being banned so, either way, I just think it is best to not put someone on blast unless we are creating an environment in which any GCers' identities can be posted just because they piss off the wrong GCer(s) or lurker(s).

I have no contact with MCP outside of GC. It took no time, effort, or stalking to find her real identity because she has plastered her whole life on GC and one link links to another and so on. I would never reach out to her outside of GC.

I completely agree that anonymity is sacred. That being said, being called out as a liar by MCP pushed my buttons, especially when the proof was right there where she led me. Plus, she needed to know that desperate, psychotic perping is dangerous business that will be discovered.

As for the backstory and why I showed particular interest, I have no desire to be cruel to MCP. Her posting history has always struck me as bizarre and desperate, but also naive. She exhibits serious attention-seeking behavior. Despite my reactions to her posts, it was really not my concern until she started posting clues that led me to believe she was going to attempt to AI, or even to perp as an alumna. Since my group is colonizing at her alma mater, in her current town, I took a personal interest. Then when I saw her reaching out to a known perp, I decided to post. Jacki the Perp posed an actual danger to collegiate members of a sorority. Why would MCP know that and still desire friendship with her? I wasn't taking a chance. You might not agree with how I handled it.

I agree. There have been a few times where I tried to help her too.

Aren't both MCP and Jacki members of the same organization? MCP may not even be aware of the whole "Jacki is a perp" backstory thing. And even if she was, she's allowed to friend members of her organization without waiting for permission from Greekchat.

If you are seriously concerned about AI or perping during colonization, just give your colonization team a heads up.

KDCat, check upthread. MCP knows full well what Jacki did.

On July 13 MCP posted in this thread inquiring about Jacki the Perp. That would indicate that she read this thread and knows about the backstory. This thread IS the backstory.

My posts considered the totality of MCP's posts on GC. To summarize:
* Displays attention-seeking behavior by over-sharing on the internet
* Displays desire to pledge NPC sorority as a second semester senior at her school
* Recruitment is unsuccessful
* Starts a new chapter of Beta Sigma Phi at her school. Apparently spends a great deal of her own money. Seems to want BSP to operate as an NPC sorority.
* Posts her graduation photos on GC
* Links to her blog containing her real name
* Joins SAEPi interest group but graduates before initiation
* Posts in several threads concerning AI and alumnae perping.
* Starts a thread asking how she can volunteer for an NPC chapter without being a member
* Many posts hint at a plan or thought process leading to potential perping or AI through the back door. Overall sense of desperation from some posts.
* Reads this psychotic thread about a potentially dangerous perp who has violated a restraining order regarding a collegiate NPC sorority
* Immediately friends this perp

Yes, they are both members of BSP. However, they live in completely different parts of the country (Jacki the Perp - Alabama, MCP - Nevada). Why would a person friend someone they have no history with, and have little chance of ever meeting, AFTER knowing that person is a total psycho? I think she empathizes with The Perp at best, or wants to emulate her at worst.

Of course it's a free country and you are absolutely correct that she can friend who she wants without permission. However, MCP denied friending her and insisted that she doesn't friend people who perp.

Again, maybe you would have handled it differently. As someone else suggested, this was a little of a tough love type situation. I felt I needed to post in order to shut down the ideas MCP had and to dissuade others who may read it.

The appropriate people have been notified in my organization. The funny thing is, they already knew about her.

1.Why does that escalator even exist?!

2. Gotcha. I thought we were afraid of offending her or something.
