Person who has less than 5% of the average user's number of interventions in an online community (sometimes even 0 interventions), yet seems to know everything about everyone.

After a week of lurking, he learns the ways of an online community better than very old members of it.

An order given to a person by someone else, usually online, that requires the person to turn off his computer and go find someone else to spend time with as soon as possible. The person who gives the order holds the belief that humans who have the audacity of spending time by themselves and not while accompanied by other humans, shame the whole human race and, therefore, must be prompted to do what is socially required of them. Reflects the modern belief that you're nothing if you like being alone.
Usually addressed to people in complete unawareness of their actual level of sociability.
