HERE IS ANOTHER ONE, AND APPARENTLY IT NEEDS THE ALL-CAPS EMPHASIS BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE AREN'T GETTING IT:

IF SOMEONE DOES NOT REVEAL INFO ABOUT THEMSELVES, IT IS NONE OF YOUR DAMN BUSINESS TO PLAY DETECTIVE AND THEN POST INFORMATION THEY DO NOT WANT EVERYONE ON GC TO KNOW.

That's not the point that's trying to be made though. We're not saying that people should snoop around.

But if someone comes on and is posting from a certain chapter at your school and starts dissing your sorority/fraternity, you can probably find out who they are pretty easily by their posting style.

We're advocating not that others play detective, but that people be discreet. It's painfully obvious to anyone acquainted with you who you are when you start posting on GC. You don't want 'internet' stuff to become 'real life' stuff.

-If there's a thread you don't want people to read, don't keep replying to it. It only bumps it back to the top of the "today's threads" list which is the first place many people look on GC.

-If you say something bitchy, even if your letters are not in your screen name, people can search for all your posts. If you have posted in your fraternity or sorority's forum, and either stated or have a screen name that gives away your location, people will be able to figure out what group you are in and what chapter.

-If you come to a message board dedicated to Greek Life and never make any posts about any aspect of Greek Life, or mention it, people will probably think you're not quite legit. If all you ever post about is this or that consumer product or movie or TV show, people will probably realize you're using a form of spam called "stealth marketing."

Thank you, drive through.
