The only thing we can do is get rid of it or leave it up (or move it to a diary or whatever).
November 12th, 2014 at 1:08 PM ^
Right decision. Once in awhile if there's a REALLY good response in the thread we're losing, I'll transpose it. That means putting it in, changing the name of the poster, and copying over the timestamp.
November 12th, 2014 at 5:55 PM ^
Honest question: Would you keep Hoke if you were guaranteed 10 wins in 2015?
The tribe spoke on this one. I will be forthright though - this one was a bit of a reach.

How long will it take Harbaugh
These speculation threads generally do not go well (and this one definitely was not going well based on the comments), so it might be wise to hold off on them for the time being, folks.
November 13th, 2014 at 3:42 PM ^
CC: Tony Dungy
This one probably isn't going to go well, and hasn't so far.
November 13th, 2014 at 10:44 PM ^
Major Lack of WR/TE Depth
Crowd spoke. And the OP has been posting an awful lot of threads.
November 14th, 2014 at 7:52 AM ^
Like around #50 or so-guy called Hoke a "F------ Retard". Not cool.
Edit: Comment #21 currently.
November 14th, 2014 at 8:06 AM ^
The comment is now gone and its originator will be spending some time where the sun may shine bright yet plumbing is still not a thing on every street. We are working on that, of course.
November 14th, 2014 at 5:53 PM ^
Harbaugh.

OT: Andrew Zow (Former Alabama QB) On His Career at Alabama
No Bleacher Report, please. If you can find another source, feel free to repost.
Also this...
I want a new radio commentator...
Yeah, we'll just pull this down now. If you're going to bitch, please at lease propose an alternative to enhance the discussion a bit.
November 14th, 2014 at 10:30 PM ^
Everyone was cranking up their sarcasm amplifier and you deleted the Brandstatter thread before I had a chance to jam with the garage band.
November 14th, 2014 at 10:26 PM ^
The second Burke thread posted had the video and like I mention we'd do at the top of the thread I removed some OT tags.
November 15th, 2014 at 8:37 AM ^
These probably won't end well, so we'll get these down before football coverage starts:

Your personal Brady Hoke analogies / posbang
Yeah, it rather became a thread where people were simply piling on, which we don't need to do in the present situation. I think the board's discontent is well-understood at this point.
November 15th, 2014 at 4:46 PM ^
I guess the thread was sort of like Brady Hoke. It's sad it didn't work out the way it was intended but I understand it needed to be removed.
November 15th, 2014 at 7:33 PM ^
....different day.
TOP GUN HIRE: JIM HARBAUGH and why we need him
This has never been done before. /s
November 16th, 2014 at 10:36 AM ^
Great. Next you'll tell me someone else already thinks Harbaugh will never leave the NFL.
November 16th, 2014 at 7:45 AM ^
CC: QB Coach...
It might be easier to revisit the prospect of Tom Brady as a QB coach once he has in fact logged successful time as one, if indeed this ever happens. For now, it's 100% speculation.
Frank Clark arrested
Extensive coverage on the front page.
OT: News in the Weird - Jose Conseco
I am going to err on the side of caution and say this one is perhaps a bit too OT for "Non-OT" season. Amusing though, if a tad gross.
November 16th, 2014 at 12:00 PM ^
Taken down for ruining everyone's day.
November 16th, 2014 at 4:31 PM ^
User "Comenclater" is a spammer. Saw his post on the Michigan-Hillsdale recap.
November 16th, 2014 at 4:48 PM ^
He'll now be spamming from under a bridge.
November 16th, 2014 at 4:47 PM ^
If you're about to post something and you're like, "wow I can't believe this hasn't been posted already" you've either (unlikely) hit the posting jackpot or you're (more likely) underestimating how quickly people get stuff up onto the board.
November 16th, 2014 at 8:40 PM ^
OT: Need help from the MGo computer experts....
This one has to come down under the "not a kiosk" rule, but hopefully the OP got some good direction all the same. Nothing wrong with the question, of course.
November 16th, 2014 at 10:01 PM ^
Cleaned up a LOT from the Clark FP post and thread. Victim-blaming (or even the insinuation of) is totally unacceptable, and there's a hell of a lot more that wasn't okay, either. If you were banned, email me, and don't expect much sympathy.
November 17th, 2014 at 12:51 AM ^
Great job today mediating and modding an incredibly difficult and contentious news day, not just to you, but all the mods. Seriously, this is what separates us from the RCMBs of the world.
November 17th, 2014 at 1:24 AM ^
in that thread.
It's maddening that there is no appropriate place to confront him and his incredibly offensive attack on the humanities.
I also believe his statements, at their essence, were offensive, political, and off-topic - the triumverate of inappropriateness you refer to in your initial post in this thread.
November 17th, 2014 at 3:44 PM ^
Poster Bergs was right on the money, so I'll just quote him/her.
No. I'm okay with the fact that Hoke gave him a second chance. I'm okay with the fact that Hoke kicked him off when he broke the law a second time. I'm not okay with the fact that you made this thread.
This situation is truly terrible, but Hoke made the right/only choice and did it very quickly. Another thing to remember, domestic violence is not a football issue. Sadly this is something Schlissel will need to deal with or prepare to deal with in every facet of the university.
November 17th, 2014 at 5:01 PM ^
Just had a question, I got an email about a deleted comment and I have no idea where the comment came from as I haven't commented in a couple days. This is what the email said, any idea what happened here?
ItsSeaboltSon, the following comment was deleted from the site: ------ Downloaded the program and it ------ <p>Downloaded the program and it added three pages that automatically open whenever I open Chrome now.. yahoo, google and sweetpacks search. Looks like I need to reinstall my browser and hope it dies. Download with caution.</p> ------ If this seems relatively innocuous it's probably because you replied to a seriously offensive comment and your comment was collateral damage. If the above is seriously dumb or offensive, this has caused the mods to cock an eyebrow at you. Tread carefully lest you tempt the banhammer.
November 17th, 2014 at 5:16 PM ^
It's the site version of being form letter'd, if you will. When a comment gets deleted, all the replies in that part of the chain go with it and everyone gets that e-mail regardless. If a user gets caved, only their posts disappear and then most reply chains no longer make sense when this happens.
November 17th, 2014 at 10:02 PM ^
I think his point was that from the looks of the email, it looks like his account got spambotted and he's worried about it.
November 20th, 2014 at 1:08 PM ^
That was mostly my concern, that and if I did break a rule I wasn't sure what. But if it was just a delete to a comment chain then it probably isn't my fault. So I'm good, Thanks y'all
November 18th, 2014 at 10:09 AM ^
Hoke Didn't Speak to Clark?
Taking this down before the OP gets a complete (but warranted) verbal lashing from the board. I am going to wager a guess that, given the particulars of Clark's case, this is not exactly important nor would it be necessary. The larger point is that Hoke handled this very well.
November 18th, 2014 at 10:33 AM ^
But I think you were wrong to take this down. All of the critics were just pointing to what the cops said, as if police reports have never gotten anything wrong before. Hoke did say that he got both sides of the story, and how he got FC's side of the story is an open (and interesting) question.
November 18th, 2014 at 3:47 PM ^
It did work at Dunder Mifflin for a while. Will John or Jim want to build tube city? Who will run the Bullets, Bourbon, and Belles game when the AD runs into liquidity problems? So many questions...
November 18th, 2014 at 8:53 PM ^
Hey guys - not really META thread worthy but I'm pretty sure there's something goofy going on that's causing quite the double post outbreak on the site. Veteran posters who definitely know not to hit "save" more than once are having it happen to them and if you look at virtually any thread you'll see multiple double postings across the board. And most are followed by a "I dont know what just happened" explanation.
Over the past couple of weeks I've had three or four and I'll bet I didnt have any (outside of a post game site melt down) in the past three years. Yesterday I had one where i absolutely know I didnt hit save more than once and the double post appeared immediately. Just thought I give you guys a heads up if you hadnt noticed this already.
November 18th, 2014 at 9:14 PM ^
Hey Mods,
I'm not sure if you can see this, but is there an automatic date when I will no longer be "caved" in the future?
November 19th, 2014 at 3:18 PM ^
I too hope for good things instead of bad things.
November 19th, 2014 at 7:29 PM ^
What If
What if Mr. Dibley's version of "If" had made it to the screen before Lindsay Anderson's?
November 20th, 2014 at 1:16 PM ^
Not only is this absolutely none of our business, the insinuation that anyone's sexual orientation or gender identity is a bad thing won't be tolerated here.

Michigan Alumni and fans Harbaugh Campaign
There is a "no Gregg Henson" rule. Think of the "Assclown" tag that others have received in the past - Drew Sharp, Mike Valenti, etc...If someone wants to post a Henson-free link to the aforementioned campaign, well, those threads have gone either way.
November 21st, 2014 at 6:39 AM ^
OT: Tom Brady's Wife
Upside: Question regarding Giselle Bundchen
Downside: The question posed is probably a little too narrow in scope, therefore a bit too OT.
November 21st, 2014 at 1:47 PM ^
Something funky is going on in that "Welcome to Mgblog" thread.
November 21st, 2014 at 2:27 PM ^
Welcome to Mgblog
Yeah, not sure what posting random links to offshore sites has to do with anything. Not even sure what the point of this was in general as some of us are reading the blog on machines that work through firewalls and filters.
November 21st, 2014 at 8:32 PM ^
It was kind of funny?
November 21st, 2014 at 8:32 PM ^
....so this one can come down for now.
Free tickets to tomorrows game (Maryland) *GONE*
Nothing wrong with the ticket threads, but it's easier to pull them as soon as there is confirmation that they are claimed to keep other things on the board.
