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.
Double post on the front page. Penalty box for a month.
Repost. It is a fun topic though...
Way too OT. I hope you got the info you needed.
Newsflash: people on RCMB don't get ethics.
Feel free to repost, but add a link or two and don't copy the whole article. Feldman's stuff is usually Insider content, so you can't just copy the whole thing without potentially bringing the wolves down if someone's in a bad mood.
FYI, Brian's thoughts are here.
Brian did not invent the term "schadenfreude" (I'm guessing Germans did), and this is not worthwhile content in the least.
Restored original poster (was getting posted again anyway) and locked the thread after conferring w/ brian.
Basically we all feel the same way, except that one guy who's bound to go internet and then we're off.
Are you deleting it because of subject matter or a response inside the thread? If it's the former, you might as well leave it up. It's going to be all over the internet in an hour.
Double.
Front page of the diaries. Penalty box for a month.
Pardoned for immediate recognition. Also, Drew Sharp's writing is a cure for low blood pressure and intelligence.
OT: hdmi cable for ps3
Not a kiosk.
I feel this comment does not fall within the boundaries of good taste.

Also, this thread is clearly Trolling IMO.

Killed off two (UPDATE 3) extra posts on the board on the Dohrmann article (remaining one was newer but had 20 comments already at the time). Comments moved to the new thread.
SI: The Downfall of Jim Tressel
re-published.
Quality control. Over the three grammar/typo limit, plus no useful content (OSU message boards being a hive of scum and villainny is not news).
Thread for the OP to show off he guessed Tressel would lose his job after the March allegations. FTR Nostradamus* called it in 1559, posting the date and time and manner -- down to describing Pryor's tat -- on a local message board, ie a tree.
--------------------------
* Note to History Channel: this is a joke. Please don't interview John Hogue agai....
HISTORY CHANNEL SPECIAL: NOSTRADAMUS PREDICTED TAT-GATE
Dammit History Channel. Do you realize just how much you get made fun of nowadays in like every historical and archaeological magazine, and some journals? Seriously: Oxford graduate students are noting how much of a joke you are in their doctoral theses. The reason you can only get John Hogue and make specials on Nostradamus, the Bible, and WWII is no serious historian will come near you anymore, and your viewership has been whittled down to 90-year-olds who find something in black and white they can sleep to.
But I digress.
I think we've all read the SI piece by now. I just decided to save the OP from getting crucified in the comments.
General rule, if a highly anticipated investigative article about OSU and its former head coach was published two days ago, it's been linked to here about 3000 times.
FB meant facebook (not football or fullback). Thompson's status update was referring to his new high school coach, not a silent commitment. Deleted for being confusing.
Facebook stalking of 17-year-old boys is only appropriate if you
a.) Are a 15-17 year old girl, or
b.) Are the father/uncle/cousin of a 15-17 year old girl who is currently dating said stalked 17-year-old boy, in which case IT'S CALLED A SHIRT YOU DOUCHEBAG -- WEAR ONE SOMETIME!
I think the rumor thread should just be deleted, not just locked. I don't think it gets reposted because I don't think that's a common site others around here look at, like people around here look at RCMB. It just seems like a stupid rumor and leaving it is just spreading it
Yeah.
Heh, butt.
Bummer, that thread was just getting HOT in re: drinking
OT: they should have never gone to Ohio
People dying in Ohio isn't funny.
Flame war. Apparently, the OP's reasoning didn't convince many commentors.
FWIW, OSU is the #16 public university in the country to US News and World Report (Michigan is #4). No matter what your standards, that's not a lower tier school.
depends what you mean by "lower"
/arrogance
Little bit much.
Double.
Politics. No.
I'm a little disappointed that I didn't get to check back before it was closed.
And start a new one up...it's over 300.
Edit- So not to clutter thread with another post to be deleted later, obvious troll is obvious-
Double.
Double, although I understand your enthusiasm.
OP hates horse carcasses.
Thanks for posting your actions, Zone Left. Some mod is obviously not doing that -- there were at least 3 threads deleted last night, with no update here.
Wunnent me.
Was probably Tacomod.
Double
Triple.
Posted like fifty times.
Quadruple!
Wowzers. it's even in mgo.lic.ious
Boston fan had sudden urge to yell this in a room full of Michigan people after the Bruins won the most unwatchable NHL Finals in recent memory.
2 minutes for unsportsmanlike conduct.
That which does not kill us only makes us stronger.
HA! Fair enough
More like hair enough!
No Bleacher Report.
Double on the front page.
Double post that linked to the post it doubled! There may be a space-time thingy issue...
Seriously, there's discussion of that in the thread the OP linked to.
Okay.
Failed in posting an embed video, and need it deleted in the American commentators are boring thread. Thanks
