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.

From the content, I almost think he read your post to know HOW to melt down.

Too kiosky. The guy with the question has been put in touch with the guy who can answer the question.
November 23rd, 2011 at 9:33 PM ^
This guy is making post after post, and they are pretty much all over-the-top troll-type substances.

Of all of the posts he's made, probably only five aren't some kind of flamebait, even if he's wording them while trying to sound like an old dude, which he probably isnt.
November 23rd, 2011 at 10:46 PM ^
He's just passionate about being a DIF-er. I staunchly disagree with him about rushing the field (my buddy and i have been passing pics of '03 back and forth this week) but whatevs, the roughest thing he's said is if you want to rush the field you have to climb over him first. Which okay but if it comes to that I'm probably going to climb over one of the girls in his harem instead.
November 23rd, 2011 at 11:17 PM ^
See...where I disagree with you is that you are giving him the credit for actually holding the opinions that he is expressing.
Given the way he expresses those opinions (and given his signature), he is pretending to hold certain opinions that he does not actually have in order to elicit angry responses--the definition of a troll. He is acting like a bad stereotype of an "old person" because it pleases him to make others angry.
November 23rd, 2011 at 11:55 PM ^
Keeping my eye on it.
November 23rd, 2011 at 10:35 PM ^
Also never ceases to amaze: the things people think need to be a topic for board discussion.
November 23rd, 2011 at 10:42 PM ^
yes, because the one repsonse on the Duke-Kansas thread is awesome.
November 23rd, 2011 at 11:54 PM ^
other game threads are pretty common.
November 23rd, 2011 at 11:55 PM ^
i figure it's like the afternoon game threads. yay 5 replies.
November 23rd, 2011 at 10:56 PM ^
Man we just don't need this on here. A debate over whether or not to storm the field? If it happens it's just mass trespassing, and then we're potentially liable for allowing people to plan something illegal.
Sorry folks, you do whatever you like but the blog isn't a place to plan it.
November 23rd, 2011 at 11:11 PM ^
WTF? The post has been up all evening with close to or over 100 replies...and now you take it down??
November 23rd, 2011 at 11:26 PM ^
I've been out with family all night - came home and saw it and said "wuh oh."
Sometimes this stuff is arguable but when it comes to criminal liability let's not fuck around
November 23rd, 2011 at 11:28 PM ^
Question answered.
November 25th, 2011 at 9:35 AM ^
What's the answer?
November 26th, 2011 at 7:10 AM ^
quarante-deux.
November 23rd, 2011 at 11:37 PM ^
This is one of those thread topics that's really more of a good comment in another thread.
If we believed in every bubbemeise around here...
(how is bubbemeise not tripping the spell checker?)
November 23rd, 2011 at 11:43 PM ^
Can stay for now. What the hell-it's late and the fisky folks need something better than troll patrol and plotting things that should be spur of the moment.
can i go copyedit ufr now?
November 24th, 2011 at 7:25 AM ^
I leave for one night, and the place turns into 'Nam.
I pulled the Twitter Wars thread. I think it has served its purpose (such as it was), and we've got to make rome for moar Urban Meyer threads..
November 25th, 2011 at 3:17 PM ^
Sorry, that crosses the fine line regarding ticket sales. Scalping is *technically* illegal and can't have a board topic about it.
That said, there are always plenty for sale on the walk to the stadium. Good luck.
November 25th, 2011 at 4:13 PM ^
...is getting political: http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/ot-npr-posts-story-about-college-football-suspicious-headline-alluding-game#comment-1352880
Can the mods review and delete if appropriate?
November 25th, 2011 at 5:33 PM ^
Thanks. Why must everyone get angry about everything?
November 26th, 2011 at 7:42 PM ^
Even if true, we're not going to leave threads based on messages from misspelled Twitter handles.

Urban Osu vs Hoke U of M
The board was basically Chinatown for the last two days, but I think we're gonna start reining things in. This belongs in the "It's Official- Urban to Ohio" thread.
November 28th, 2011 at 10:12 AM ^
Deleted thread because Schlabach is wrong.
November 28th, 2011 at 10:58 AM ^
Lets keep the BCS rooting discussion in the Diary thread for now until things change and warrant a new post. With all the Urban Meyer posts and rooting posts the Board is getting a bit cluttered.
November 28th, 2011 at 11:03 AM ^
Good information but already posted yesterday:

Its an interesting discussion but doesn't deserve a separate thread. See BISB's post above.

Are we allowed to double-post in this thread?
/s
November 28th, 2011 at 10:56 PM ^
You can dock me as many points as you see fit...
Just don't give me so many negative points that I can't create content.
November 28th, 2011 at 1:41 PM ^
I always love a go at trying to solve a mystery but the answer may lie in a scandalous rumor that we don't really need to be discussing here on the Board.
(FWIW, I highly doubt that Meyer left Florida because it was on a downturn. A big-name team like Florida (see, e.g., Michigan) will never remain down for long.)
November 28th, 2011 at 2:21 PM ^
Answer is on the front page right now.
November 28th, 2011 at 2:33 PM ^

November 28th, 2011 at 3:37 PM ^
I don't mean to demean your hard work, but this is not M-Live. We probably should not post "diss" songs when Michigan is 1 for its last 8 against Ohio. Stay classy, San Dieguns.
November 28th, 2011 at 4:50 PM ^
Most of it was c&p'ed from http://genuinelysarcastic.blogspot.com/2011/05/dotting-lie.html.
Worthy of a diary if organized appropriately, but this didn't look like original research.
November 28th, 2011 at 8:39 PM ^
Not deserving of a separate thread. All of these opinions on the hire should be addressed in threads that present new information (e.g. press conference thread). If I see another one of these my mind might explode. That said Meyer threads >>>> Sandusky threads.
November 28th, 2011 at 8:43 PM ^
Head asplode. Were the Ohio blogs as obsessed with the Hoke hire as we appear to be with the Meyer hire?
November 29th, 2011 at 11:41 AM ^
I've never been here before. I feel like I just walked into that room at my Grandma's that nobody ever uses.
November 29th, 2011 at 5:47 PM ^
Can I interest you in a Werthers Original?
November 30th, 2011 at 10:37 AM ^
How 'bout a Fresca? Hmmmm? Hmmmmm?
November 29th, 2011 at 2:32 PM ^
No stalking recruits' girlfriends. (Not that you were actually stalking, and it is apparently common knowledge on Ohio message boards, but not appropriate here nonetheless.)

We're not holding back on you, man. If we know things, we'll let you know.

MICHIGAN VS OSU
Generic thread is generic, and terrible idea is terrible. Also, MOAR CAPS LOCK PLZ.
November 30th, 2011 at 10:26 AM ^
Also, anyone else notice that the Ohio State band uniforms look remarkably similar to SS uniforms? Coincidence? I think not.
December 1st, 2011 at 8:58 AM ^
Are my posts ever going to become visible?
