Moderator Action Sticky #3
Hello. The previous mod action sticky was cumbrously long so this is a new one. What this thread is for:
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.
Update: There's now a Mod Action Sticky IV.

Venric Mark Transferring
We shall use the previous thread on this subject, which also includes information on WR Christian Jones, to run with this particular story.

ESPN Super Tuesday Michigan Games
This made it to the board yesterday, but with the quick buildup of various hot takes and incoming news about football this week, it was admittedyl very quickly buried. The general rule I try to abide by, so people know, is to let a few days at least pass before I consider it "not duplicate", taking into consideration some of us do not spend vast amounts of time here.
Speaking of what I said above...
Former Lions QB Scott Mitchell weighs 366 pounds, reality show looms
This appeared late last week, and I am going to start being a little selective about the stories that should perhaps appear twice, at least those that aren't Michigan-related, as we slide into the non-OT season soon.

Any buzz from yesterday's scrimmage?
A question is not a thread.

Dusting off our snowflake policy for the first time this season.
PSA for the board: We're going no-OT at the end of the upcoming week. Your dual takeaway from this should be to post OT while you've got 'em, and threads might start being held to a bit of a higher standard so as to keep on topic content on the board.

...and so it starts: Appy State memory lane begins--thanks, Brandon
I think we need to maintain our composure at least through the first thrid of the season and see where we're at. In any case, we're going to start lifting the bar on threads in lieu of the season beginning today.

Posted a comment about getting Damon Webb out of Cass Tech that was so appallingly over the line I don't care about any past commenting history—what he posted has no place here or anywhere.

FWIW I had an ex-employee send a customer a similar picture (except with a cat instead of a dog) to "encourage them" to buy from us. He was absolutely speechless when we fired him over it as he thought he was just being funny.
My guess is Hail 2 Victors is probably young and posted something stupid not realizing how it would be construed by others.

Braxton Miller cleanup.

So what's with this I AM GROOT thing?
August 19th, 2014 at 1:32 AM ^
Groot is a character from Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy. The only thing he says is "I AM GROOT." This is a novelty account, or so I think, and while I personally think it's hilarious, it'll probably get old really quick.

Braxton Miller Officially Out for 2014
Apologies to our friend Zone Left, but we've covered this in two separate threads now, so we're going to take this one down.

BYU Added to 2018 and 2019 UM Schedule
This turns out to be about a game that BYU has with Washington, not about Michigan's schedule, so this will come down to avoid further confusion.

How about zapping O-line threads or requring they use the same one for the latest update?
August 21st, 2014 at 9:38 PM ^
but here's the second one and as usual, not a surprise.
August 21st, 2014 at 9:49 PM ^
Yeah, that's twice in one day and it is a little troubling.
As a general note to the board, if "retarded" is the crux of your argument, do not post your argument because it makes this place look bad, not to mention you. That, and I believe I have established more or less the guidelines on ad hominems. As I said in my most recent diary, do try to run your base reaction past your frontal cortex for proper revising.

Crowd spoken/OP changed.

Opinions are like a-holes - everybody's got 'em and they all stink.
