a condition in which one has the character of Spock or a full Vulcan and only knows logic instead of accepted social norms and traditions that make no sense.
A man walks into a gym naked and starts working out. Two gym employees walk up to him to confront him.
Gym worker 1: "Hey, what the hell are you doin'? Why aren't you wearing clothes?"
Spock Syndrome Guy: "It isn't logical to wear clothes to the gym. I get all sweaty and only wear them about two hours then they need to be washed again."
Gym Worker 2: "But you have to wear clothes!"
SSG: "Why?"
GW 1: "Because that's the rules!"
SSG: "Why is it a rule?"
GW 1: "It just is!"
SSG: "I do not understand."
GW 2: "Forget it, dude, he's got Spock Syndrome."
GW 1: "What a weirdo! Who uses logic to decide how they live their lives!?"

Get the PAB syndromemug. Refers to gaming occurences where certain features, functions or abilities within a game (electronic or otherwise) experience cycles of nerfing.
It also refers to a feedback loop in game balance and development.
It commonly occurs due to bad reputations attached to nerfed items or abilities, which results in the abandonment of Y in favor of X. As X becomes more favored it appears to become OP (Overpowered) and risks being nerfed itself and thus repeating the cycle.
