MGoBoard FAQ
Why can't I start threads?
New users are not entrusted with that capability until they reach 100 points. (Updated 11/29/2010)
How do I get points?
Every time you post a comment or reply in a thread you get a point.
Wait… then why do I have negative 60?
You can't see this yet—you won't until you get to 100 points, naturally—but all posts/comments come with the ability to vote up or down on them. If you post things that are displeasing to the general populace, you will lose points as people downvote you. You get two points per upvote and minus one per downvote.
How can I avoid downvotes?
Don't be redundant. Don't use stupid nicknames like O$U. Spell things correctly. Don't post useless replies like "I agree" and whatnot.
What happens when I get huge numbers of negative points?
I get dinged and I check your profile out to see if you're pure troll or not, and ban appropriately.
What should I title my threads?
Please make your thread titles as informative as possible: "Justin Feagin" is bad. "Justin Feagin leaving the team?" is good.
How can I bold stuff, insert images, embed videos, etc?
ShockFX provided a helpful primer on basic HTML if you'd like to add some visual pop to your posts.
Why did my post get deleted/edited?
Getting personal on college athletes usually results in a deletion, and virtually always when it's a Michigan player in question. Threads that invite flaming also get deleted. Threads with misleading titles designed to scare the crap out of readers before they click will either be deleted or edited so that their titles reflect their contents.
What is the board's tolerance for language?
Calibrate your language to what it would be at a Michigan tailgate with lots of strangers. We don't ban people for expletives (we do track them though) but we do ask that you avoid offensive language. If someone corrects your language (e.g. please don't use "thug" due to racial overtones) try to respect that. Avoid blasphemy too please--in this you can follow the main page writers' example in using cognates like gotdang, goldang, gotdam, or change up religious expressions to made up/generic polytheistic ones like "Pray to the holy Denard" or "the gods."
Can I repeat premium information?
To a limited extent. More details are here. Briefly: don't hit CTRL+C, and don't repeat every last detail.
What's the offtopic policy?
In the offseason, offtopic posts are tolerated. During football season they are discouraged and may be subject to removal depending on how alert the moderators are. What counts as on- and off- topic?
ONTOPIC
- Anything Michigan sports related
- Anything related to other Big Ten teams or upcoming opponents
- Stuff about the blog itself
- University of Michigan topics that don't relate to sports
GRAY AREA
- College sports in general
- Ann Arbor
UNWELCOME, KTHX
- Politics
- Drew Sharp, Ace Williams, Mike Valenti. Saying stupid and/or false things about Michigan in order to get Michigan fans upset is a tried and true way to phish for clicks. Let's not feed the trolls.
- Bewbs/Objectification of women. Whatever misogynistic "standard guy stuff" gets tolerated on other sports sites you visit will NOT fly here.
OFFTOPIC
- Pro sports of any variety
- Everything else
We will let pro sports topics slide even during football season but "everything else" posts are likely to get the axe. A few known exceptions for annual local culture things (e.g. there's an annual thread at the opening of firearm deer season).
Can you connect me to another user?
No, sorry. We value our users' privacy too much to share their contact information and I don't have the time to service connections anymore. Social media outlets all have direct message options these days for individuals to connect.
I have another question.

I am going to my first Michigan game at the end of September for Minnesota. I am so excited! I just wondered what I should definitely check out while I am in town for the weekend. My wife got me the tickets for my birthday so I would like to do something she nice for her while we are there and also enjoy the campus and of course Ann Arbor.

Are avatar uploads still not working? I could only find a couple posts discussing them and it seems uploading them were disabled in 2011, but don't know if the problem was fixed. I went to change mine and it says it wasn't possible. Keep getting this:
- The selected file /tmp/rsz_wolves.jpg could not be copied.
- Failed to upload the picture image; the pictures directory doesn't exist or is not writable.
I tried to change the pic size to exactly 85x85 but even that didn't work. Guess I shouldn't have deleted my old one as it'd be better to have one than not at all.

Far as I am concerned, each of these members on the board of regent
should get the Pink Slips and send in new set of board members.
Also show the president out the door and put in a new CEO for this
university. They are too strict when it comes to rules and policies at this
campus. I understand that they want to up hold the tradition, culture, and
dignity, and people friendly but they need to loosen that real tight grip
(just right tight grip is all it is need it). The university want to be like
a private learning institution like Boston College, Notre Dame, Stanford,
Vanderbilt, Northwestern, and all of the IVY League colleges. It has changed
so much that the leadership don't care about winning games, matches, meets,
and whatever else. It has turned into an academic come first institution then
any extra curricular activities. I will still follow the Wolverine athelatics but NOT
as a diehard TrueBlue fan. I am beginning to follow local college team out here
in Left Coast and I am fine with that.

First attempt at a post, and I'm old, so trying it here first where hopefully won't bother anyone since this is the first post in this in four years. Please feel free to delete to keep this clean for other users - Just wanted to see the post. Thanks!

OK, I said "first post in four years" because I was looking at page two of the thread - DOH! Apparently do need some remedial posting help, haha.
OK, now my meaningless posts (at least intentionally meaningless posts) are done!
