Massive Clean Up Needed

Submitted by Mineral King on December 1st, 2019 at 9:51 AM

I posted a thread yesterday in regard to the osu people here. The amount of negs a post gets that calls this out proves my point. This place is a wasteland right now and needs a major clean up. Mods if you email me I will help out.

Pretty sure the mods and Brian don’t give a fuck about the board anymore as evidenced by how it’s not policed anymore. 

Oh well. Thankfully we do and someone made the troll cave extension.

This place would nothing but an echo chamber of how great Michigan is and how great every poster is because we all agree with each other on every point.

Those who think this place needs a "clean up" are the same ones who hijack threads into nowhere land, only want to hear from those they agree with, and are not really here for discussion.

It's the same ol' same ol'--people can't stand to emerge from their mom's basement and see the world out there ain't gonna wipe their asses and spoonfeed them Maize and Blue Gerber baby food all their lives.

And if you don't like it--start your own message board, crybaby. All of you fucks who want to criticize the mods or Brian (and my criticism is NO ONE should EVER be banned because the Foils increase interest and readership no matter what the crybabies think)--START YOUR OWN SANDBOX to  play in. Only invite YOUR friends!

You all portray yourselves as rich, educated gadabouts flitting off to the  French Riviera every two weeks, START YOUR OWN FUCKING LITTLE MICHIGAN MESSAGE BOARD where you and your three friends (one of whom might actually NOT be imaginary) and party like it's 8th grade again!

Says the person who POINTS fingers and insults others and assumes they are rich or self centered or  trying to sooth themselves by writing something they believe in.  Then also goes further and insinuates that others are trying to come off more educated or smarter in some way, etc etc and then decides to input their view of how someone acts while adding F bombs and telling others they act like they are in 8th grade when their username suggests they are in that grade.  Says all these things, posts things they feel they need to point out possible flaws or other even though they do not know that person or anything about them.  When those exact people may be a normal everyday blue collar type that went the military route after high school and chose to be a mechanic and own their own business instead of going to college and getting higher education.  Then again you only seem to think about your own views and how you feel or that you have the best take and know it all and feel you must take time to express your views and how others don't matter.  I mean, I am sure only YOU matter and YOU are the most enlightened soul on the planet Earth.   

Sometimes it's good to just be quiet and not say anything if there isn't anything nice to say? No?  But when you constantly post the same old "you are this or you are that and you suck and F you" it gets really old. 

So with your words in another post, "you have a choice" as well of what to respond and how to act and what you read.. 

You probably won't answer this ... but how can this be a better board and what can you add that can help make this a better place for ALL us fans to come and share things without being a total A about it?

Stinky troll thinks insulting everyone who expresses a positive attitude is the same thing as discussion and avoiding groupthink.

Stinky, you can disagree with people without being an ass.  Well, maybe you can't -- let me rephrase:  one can disagree with people without being an ass.

By way of example, right now, I'm being an ass.  But it's for your own good.  I'm helping you.

I've been thinking that too. At one point wasn't there a google survey for people volunteering to be mods? And still it feels like there are maybe 1 or 2 mods who drop in every once in a while. Many of us who have been around for a while would gladly take on moderating abilities to try to police the board but I really don't think Brian & Co. care. Couple that with the fact that the new website took like 5 years to launch and it still crashes under normal post-game traffic and I think it's pretty obvious that they don't care about the complaints.

And don't get me wrong, I love the front page content. Brian & co. create awesome stuff for us with no subscription required and it's terrific, but I think it's obvious they have a way they want to run the site and it's just going to be that way.

I have no hope for the new site to ever improve. Wish Brian would listen and revert us back to the old site. I really love how the ads on the board are now embedded between posts on each thread for mobile..

The old site was sooooooo much better I would gladly pay a yearly fee.  Yes it crashed at times but it still seemed to just "work" better overall.  Points worked, flow, mobile, etc

I mean if enough people payed a small fee would that be enough to pay for the old site to come back and the work that goes behind it?

Like $9.99 a year or other?  For me it's an easy decision and would be happy to do that.

I think he hasn't been careful enough on who he chooses to be on his staff. People are complaining that the play of seniors on the team is the biggest problem. That would be because it is a result of 4 years of training under Jim Harbaugh's coaching staff.

He needs to take the time to vet out a much better staff. A couple, like Chris Partridge and Ed Warinner are doing well. And Jedd Fisch was too. Everyone else I'm not so sure. That is, unless 9 to 10 wins in the regular season is good enough.

Hey guys. I’m pretty sure this isn’t Shea Patterson and it’s pretty embarrassing as a community you guys keep referring to MK as him. If by some chance it is him or any one else close in the program, let them enjoy anonymity and post with the rest of us.

Honestly, I never agreed with the idea of kicking people off a message board just because they root for an opponent. The fact we have people like BuckeyeChuck able to post with an osu logo next their name and not get shut down is what makes MGoBlog way better than, say, RCMB where Michigan fans are insulted constantly. I'm not afraid of osu or sparty fans posting on here, and if they say something dumb then neg or troll cave them like we do when a Michigan fan does something stupid (as I'm sure you will all do to me now).

We have a few quality posters from other fanbases. NittanyFan is probably most prominent. There's a state fan with an archer profile pic that drops in every once in a while. There are 1 or 2 Buckeye decent Buckeye posters around. Those guys should are quality posters and should definitely be allowed around here. We need moderators to beat back the trolls which inevitably descend during MSU and OSU weeks

You're a fucking asshole.  You "called out" pdgoblue in your other thread because he has a Cleveland Browns helmet for an avatar and said he wasnt welcome here because of it.

That dude has been around here a lot longer than this persona you created (one of god knows how many) and he'll be here after you manage to get this one caved like all the others.

Tell Steve Huchinson and Leroy Hoard to their face they arent welcome on the blog because they want Michigan AND the Browns to win.  That would be fun to watch.
