Hi everyone

[G.T]

I just joined last night. I see some familiar faces here. I have a 2006 that I bought new and I love it. I'm coming up on 93,000 miles. Actually I was banned from CV and thought I would have a look around here. This is a very impressive site.

Welcome to

Don't ask me how I know!!
You must have really riled JonM up!!

Introduction
Alcohol abuse and alcohol-related problems remain a major public posting issue. Drunk posting is a problem that has gained much attention over recent years. The magnitude of the drunk posting problem is often shown using number of banned data. Approximately one-third of all bannings, where the poster had been tested for alcohol, are associated with blood alcohol concentrations five times (5X) above the legal limit.

Reader trauma, unwanted threads, and recidivist offending, place additional frustration and time burdens on Corvette communities, reinforcing the need to establish effective drunk posting interventions.

Defining the Drunk Poster
Drunk posting has consistently been shown to be associated with a range of risk factors:

Male, young age (under 65), low socio-economic background (all their disposable income in Corvettes).

Problems with alcohol consumption and high levels of alcohol use, usually associated with their time away from CAC.

Poor Corvette knowledge and deviant attitudes toward drunk posting (extensive histories of forum banning).

Drink Posting and the Social Context
The essential social determinant of drunk posting is alcohol consumption in conjunction with on line presence on other (than CAC) Corvette forums. Drinking behaviors are often learned through gear head influences and therefore become ingrained lifestyle behaviors.

The social internet of offenders can often influence drunk posting behaviors through the nature of these relationships. Constant reading of incorrect, non-referenced, technical information, is likely to be involved with drunk posting. On the other hand, technical accuracy and supportive relationships in the offenders social network, helps to reduce the incidence of drunk posting, along with the disapproval from moderators and deadbeats.

Controlling Posting Under the Influence (PUI)
Three alcohol-related policies that are seen to be important in reducing drunk posting are:

Accurate technical posts with references
Supportive membership, who disapprove of any personal attacks
An open bar for those who can hold their liquor

Countermeasures for PUI
Intervention strategies designed to control the drunk posting problem have been numerous. These strategies are generally divided into two groups depending on the primary target: general interventions and specific interventions.

General Intervention Strategies
Random spell checking.
Review of posts for subject, verb and objects (complete sentences).
Review of posts for excessive references to C7 headroom.

Specific Intervention Strategies
Drink with the offender.
Target the offender with the aim of reducing their potential to re-offend.
Alcohol-Computer keyboard interlock devices.
Mandatory enrollment in CF/DC/Z06 forums, as an absolute deterrent.
