Moderator Action Sticky
Brian has requested that instead of deleting each individual comment in the Moderator Action Sticky, that we instead just create a new thread. It takes hours of less time, preserves the comments for future explanations, and just clears things up faster.
You'll notice that the previous thread is now locked, and will slowly fade back into darkness. For the time being, the link from the Useful Stuff menu will point to the wrong location. We're working on a fix for that.
This thread is an ad-hoc way of tracking what threads and comments get removed. Mods that remove a thread should post the title here with a brief reason as to why the thread is gone.
NOTE: if you leave an irrelevant comment in this thread it will be deleted.

Than to our own on the boards...
New guy to add-

Last year didn't Brian ban new users from posting the week after the MSU game?
Edit: Not worth a new post, but if telling people to F themselves and using it is worth a tagline, this guy deserves the mother of all taglines...

Stupid threads (a) get deleted, and (b) result in a loss of MGoPoints. For future reference, the only thing worse than feeding a troll is imitating a troll.

Failure to notice that first stupid thread got deleted results in loss of MGoPoints. For future reference, the only thing worse than imitating a troll is imitating an imitator or a troll.

I can't wait to see how many reactions there are to Bacon's book.
That the topic is broached isn't an issue, it's the intentional repeats. Points come back after the Purdue game.
October 16th, 2011 at 10:16 PM ^
You may remove the pretty, pretty princesses at that time.
October 17th, 2011 at 3:37 AM ^
I didn't call anyone specific out, I wasn't offensive, I wasn't trolling and I wasn't OT. I merely stated a thought that most people were thinking, as evidenced by the popular support the message received. I'd like to think that I contribute to the board and it's not really clear what I did wrong in this situation. Thanks, in advance, for the response.
October 17th, 2011 at 11:23 AM ^
which thread?
October 17th, 2011 at 1:45 PM ^
http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/call-no-more-threads-about-msu-game . Apparently it still exists but it's not/wasn't showing up on MGoBoard and it wasn't moved to the diaries. It exists but it doesn't. I'm confused.
October 17th, 2011 at 2:19 PM ^
I was not the Mod that unpublished the thread, but I think it was done because there is no reason to start a new thread telling people to stop discussing Michigan football. I know your intentions were good (and not necessarily off-base) but there's no reason to start a new thread like this. Brian pays us Mods very good money to police the Board so you can simply sit back and enjoy it.
(joking about the compensation part, obviously. We serve gratis and like it.)
October 17th, 2011 at 11:20 AM ^
our readers can edit Wikipedia articles: not news.
(linking to Sparty changing all of Michigan's scores to 0 on the Paul Bunyan Trophy page is not the same thing, says the guy who did that.)
October 17th, 2011 at 3:42 PM ^
FYI readership numbers are public and way, way up. The good ol' days also had readership in the teens for front page articles.
October 17th, 2011 at 4:04 PM ^
Please feel free to overturn my decision to "lock and dock" that thread. I will definitely not be insulted - I'm just doing my best to keep order and recognize there may be better methods. Also, I may have overreacted on that "Brian is delusional" thread but not because it disagreed with Brian's views - my reaction was to (a) starting a new thread when it is simply a comment to an existing thread, and (b) personal name-calling.
October 17th, 2011 at 8:22 PM ^
I went back and forth on this. I think you made the right call on a tough decision, more with the thread than the docking. I think that criticism, even personal criticism to a degree, is more tolerable against one of the staff, and especially Brian. There is a potential to influence that comes with less protections, and I'd ask you to be far more lenient with somebody attacking me than attacking any old poster on the board (I have, in the past, called someone a dick on the front page, and Brian's called several people worse, so turn and turn about).
That said, his criticisms were of the type that would have quickly devolved into a flame war. Locking was the right call; I'm going to refund his points.

Trying to injure the opposing team's quarterback is a gutless way to play football. Michigan would never do that because then nobody would respect our program in the morning.
October 18th, 2011 at 3:45 PM ^
Redundant. But here's something that will never be redundant for this MGoUser:
I think Hoke has smurfed the tide on the smurf. Hell smurfs in Ohio are starting to smurf him. Never in a million smurfs I would have smurfed that. Smurfing Michigan jerseys is a good smurf. (credit to MGoUser k41000)
October 18th, 2011 at 8:28 PM ^
It's over. Please, please move on.
Also, I can think of two announcers whose opinions I'd be interested in hearing. Matt Millen's opinion ranks somewhere around Craig James's.
October 19th, 2011 at 5:58 AM ^
This one too
October 19th, 2011 at 10:11 AM ^
Patience, my friend, patience. Once its announced, it'll be posted on the Board before it even hits ESPN.

October 19th, 2011 at 5:32 PM ^
No OT.
But, honestly, can you imagine sitting on the corner coffee shop, enjoying a few rays of sunshine in sunny Zanesville, OH when, out of nowhere, a f-cking LION appear across the street looking for breakfast? WTF!?
October 19th, 2011 at 8:35 PM ^
I'm starting to think that RationalMSUFan was onto something when he suggested it was time to stop talking about Gholston, at least until the punishment is handed down . . .
October 19th, 2011 at 8:42 PM ^
Tough call here, because it technically did not appear in a search but this topic was already discussed earlier today and it was determined that it is not news. In response, that OP changed his title, resulting in your topic not appearing in a search. In case you are interested, below is the link to the original thread:

"."
(a) Most informative thread title ever
(b) Not sure what it was about, but you don't accumulate that many negs, and subsequently delete your own thread, unless it pretty much sucked to begin with.
October 19th, 2011 at 10:56 PM ^
The original thread involved the OP pointing out that there were some ugly girls from ND in a picture over at Dr. Saturday... Herp and derp.
October 20th, 2011 at 9:40 AM ^
Please move on.

Site problems are confirmed.

Like you, I can't unpublish.

No OT during the season. But I think the OP got some good, helpful responses before the thread was moderated, so cheers.

I unpublished this thread (http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/ot-anyone-need-it-job-read-now-while-thread-still-exists) because if we allow one job posting, we have to allow them all and it could get entirely out of hand. That said, it really was cool for the OP to notify the MGoCommunity of the job opportunity and solicit interested candidates. Keep it in the family, is what I say, and we all know that the way to find a job is through contacts. I left it up for several hours just in case someone that qualified saw the post - how could would it be to know that the Board had something to do with helping someone find a job!? But, like I said, we can't let the Board go the classified ads route.
People had a really good idea about establishing a Job Board on the site, kind of like the Ticket Spreadsheet that we already have. I'm not sure if Brian & Co already considered this or not but anyone with the wherewithall to create and maintain a Job Board should feel free to contact Brian with the idea. If he hasn't already considered it, I'm sure he'd entertain the idea.

October 28th, 2011 at 3:53 PM ^
Re-posting a topic that was posted just a few minutes ago because you didn't like the title of the first one? Really? You knew one of us was going to have to take your thread down but you posted it anyway and made me put in the work. And then you have the nerve to demand that we make the original poster change his title? How dare you!

Your heart was in the right place, but no need to discuss what should not be discussed. Two wrongs don't make a right.

MGoUser Lucky1349 anwsered the question: Herb Lusk is credited with being the first to kneel in prayer during an NFL game: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herb_Lusk. I have to ask: Did the OP truly think that Denard was the first ever to do this? Don't get me wrong, Denard is a genius. He came up with the Ten Uses of Dilitium (nerdy Harry Potter story reference). But he is obviously not the first to take a knee after scoring.
November 1st, 2011 at 9:25 AM ^
You were right - no OT. But still pretty funny. Anytime I hear the word "donkey" I now think of Lewan and/or punching them.
