What is this?

Compulsive Delete-and-Repost Disorder is a compulsive behavioral condition cataloged by the Institute.

In the Institute's formal nomenclature, this condition is catalogued under the Latin binomial Posti iterativus perfeccionis โ€” a name not recognized by any medical authority but observed repeatedly in the catalog.
