What is an order consumer

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

In a community, whether if it’s online or your local club or just society in general, it requires admin/moderator/judges/law enforcement etc. to put in hard work to create rules and order so everything function smoothly. In a sense, the “order” they create here can be treated as a commodity.

A user can do things that helps out the moderators and create order (e.g. taxes, volunteering), or break rules and cause chaos, which “consumes” order (e.g. criminal activity, riots, trolling etc.) . Order consumers refers to people who consumes more order than they create.

It seems like an odd term for what you're describing. Shouldn't it be something like "Civic Detractors" or "Chaos Agents"?

"Fucker"

Quite similar, I use “order consumer” as you can apply a lot of concepts from finance and economy for a regular consumer, it also makes a bit more sense consider someone can both consumes and create order, e.g. they pay their taxes (creates order) but also litter (consumes order), and its only a problem when you consume more than you create

I'd call it a disruptor, but Chaos Agent is also good.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I really appreciate learning this term, thanks

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I'd use the term "antisocial".

hostile or harmful to organized society especially : being or marked by behavior deviating sharply from the social norm
