One asks : "What is STS"?
Giving a complete medical description of this disorder would be quite lengthy.So I'll opt to put it in laymans terms.
1)It is a condition in which a person(primarily newbies) contracts after making foolish posts,pose an individual threat directly/indirectly towards SwoleCat,breaking board rules,consistently flaming members,poor use of grammar/punctuations,pose a blatant lack of intelligence.There are more,but for time constraints I'll end with these.
2)How do I contract STS?
See #1
3)Is STS a common disorder?
Not necessarily.It is most prominent on anabolic boards,with anabolicreview being the board where this condition seems to have first been recorded by medical personnel.It is quite apparent that newbies tend to contract this disorder easily,as well as those that are just plain ignorant.
4)What age groups are at risk with this disorder?
Sadly enough it appears that all age groups,including gender,ethnic background,religion are all at high risk for this disorder.
5)How can this disorder be avoided?
Science and history have shown that to avoid this dreaded disorder one must keep in compliance with board rules,use proper grammar/punctuations,alway address Swolecat in a respectful manner(even in disagreement),do not post sources,do not post UG labs names,contribute to the board in a useful manner.There are far to many more to list,but you get the gist of things,I'm certain of that.
6)If diagnosed with STS,what should I do?
Immediately contact administration of this,and every board in which you are a member of and request that your account be deleted.This is a crucial step in the recovery process.Once you've completed that step,seek counseling at a clinic that specializes in STS.Recovery is slow,but you can over come this with vigilance.
I hope this Q & A helped clear up some of the questions and concerns you might have in regards to this dreaded condition.
