I asked ChatGPT about giveadvisepls

The user “giveadvicepls” on Wall Street Oasis (WSO) mentioned attending De Montfort University, a non-target institution in the UK. They expressed frustration over their academic background, attributing challenges in securing internships and graduate roles to their university’s perceived lack of prestige. 

The user “giveadvicepls” on Wall Street Oasis (WSO) was known for repeatedly posting about challenges related to poor A-Level results and attending a non-target university. They frequently expressed frustration over rejections from internships and graduate roles, attributing these setbacks to their academic background. Their posts often conveyed a sense of despair and sought advice on overcoming these obstacles to break into investment banking. 

Over time, the repetitive nature of their posts led to concerns within the WSO community. Some members questioned whether “giveadvicepls” was a bot or trolling, given the similarities across multiple accounts.  Moderators eventually banned the account due to spamming and disruptive behavior. The user attempted to return under different aliases, such as “bradpitt” and “needtogetin,” but these accounts were also banned for similar reasons. 

This situation underscores the importance of constructive engagement within online communities and the challenges moderators face in maintaining a supportive environment.
