V3rm Effect

When a member of a forum becomes prominent and widely known/widely liked, then later gets caught up and exposed for some fucked things they have done/are doing.

Originating from the ROBLOX Exploits forum V3rmillion.net

Best examples include: IcePools and Chaddy, Though other examples could have existed before them.

J: Hey dude, did you hear about the well known and liked member got exposed for harboring child porn?
D: Ah, well that's the V3rm Effect for you.

Something that is actually awful and of very low quality, but because of extensive marketing stating the opposite, is perceived to be of high quality, or "the best".

Hawthorne Effect

According to experiments (first conducted in the Hawthorn plant of Western Electric in Illinois, people who are told that they are highly capable and are doing well will then do even better work than worse. The adage "Honey catches more flies than vinegar" suggests that changes resulting from praise or dispraise may not be lasting.

At my workplace, nobody employs the Hawthorne Effect ....so it should be no big secret that it sucks to work there.
