Gorilla Admin Tyrant
The Digital Dictator
Behavior Identifier
This Admin Dictator in the WhatsApp group rules over the group with strict authority and often overbearing control, much like a dominant gorilla governs its terrain. They enforce rules rigidly and maintain a tight grip on the group’s dynamics. Their posts often lack warmth and may come across as condescending.
Sample WhatsApp Posts
“Reminder: All posts MUST directly relate to the group’s purpose. Off-topic discussions will be removed.”
(This is your admin speaking) “Let’s keep chatter to a minimum and stick to important updates only.”
“The language used in that last post was unacceptable. Refrain from profanity or this group will be put on moderation.”
“New members: It is YOUR responsibility to thoroughly read the pinned rules before participating. Ignorance is not an excuse.”
“As your Admin I don’t like to repeat myself. No posting forwards and links without prior approval. Message deleted.”
“@user – That question has been answered multiple times. Please use the search function before asking.”
“Let’s keep this professional. Emojis and unnecessary greetings clutter the chat.”
“To ensure we stay on track, we’re implementing a new policy…”
“I’m here to maintain order, not to make friends. Let’s follow the rules.”

Inner Motivations
The Gorilla Admin Tyrant is driven en by a deep need for control and order. They relish setting the rules and often enforce them with a heavy hand, believing their way is the best or only way to manage the group. This need for control may stem from underlying insecurity or a desire for respect and recognition. This Admin may feel underappreciated or powerless in other aspects of their life, and thus, they exert authority in the digital realm where they can command attention and obedience. However, their strictness can sometimes mask a genuine desire for a well-organized, respectful group environment.
