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.

Yet another thread about Drew Sharp's column today. Remember kids, he desperately wants to get a rise out of you so that you'll read his single-sentence paragraphs. Don't fall into his trap.
August 18th, 2011 at 4:28 PM ^
Double on the front page. Points back in a month.

If I knew how to code and had access to the code for the MGoApps, I'd code something about users needing over 100 MGoPoints to create a thread.
Seriously though, Elaydin and whomever created the Android App, I hope you can work that into your next updates. I've no idea if it's hard or not. Otherwise, great work on everything.

Sorry: not a kiosk.
But congrats on not living in Ohio anymore!

I was in the process of editing the 90 post thread below to clarify the title. Everyone figured it out anyways.

political meltdown from Wolverine318 on a perfectly fine OP.

Kelly Baraka is no longer with the program. RB depth chart is deep so shouldn't be a concern.
August 23rd, 2011 at 6:56 PM ^
Used "O$U" -- big no-no.
Also the topic didn't really add anything else the other articles on OSU on the board right now did.
August 24th, 2011 at 12:17 AM ^
Dammit Section 1. You really gotta start your own blog (I would read it) to fisk bad Michigan coverage in media (mainstream and otherwise).
On this blog, there's no Sharp.
FTR my journalism teacher spent hours trying to get me to write more succinctly, and look how that turned out. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes you can't get a guy's pad level down. Think about that.

If there was a board post for every cool little Michigan thing our wives do to show they love (Michigan) us...
Congrats on the baby, though.
Note: Policy of no points docking for violations by new fathers. We here at MGo can sympathize with a brain going through massive rewiring. Normal responsibility resumes when the kid sleeps through the night (and you do too).

Finding "insider info" posted at RCMB is like being excited about a full bottle of ketchup you found in the home of a Category 10 hoarder. Yes, theoretically it's possible it's still good. You still shouldn't eat it, and you sure as hell shouldn't bring it home and put it in the fridge.
August 26th, 2011 at 8:41 PM ^
Posted at the same time by Heiko on the main page. Nice catch though.
August 26th, 2011 at 9:17 PM ^
Sorry, but had to pull that one, BlueSeoul. Nice pic, but not for this board. (I know, the new guy is totally lame.)

If you're reacting to the Hoke presser post, then post it in the Hoke presser post.

Also, remember reverse mirroring exists. An ABC game will be on ESPN2 (typically) or another ESPN channel (always) if you're in the US and outside of the ABC regional coverage area.

This post is really offensive:
http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/ot-terelle-pryor-genius#comment-1216537
Poster is saying that since pryor got a low score, we can assume he's black, and implying that black people are stupid.
August 31st, 2011 at 10:15 PM ^
Thanks.
August 31st, 2011 at 10:13 PM ^
No OT.
User docked points for a month for intentionally violating no OT rule.
September 1st, 2011 at 12:07 AM ^
That's a legit penalty! Even-handed I say, for what its worth. Gotta nip it in the bud.
That said, I never got an answer to my question in the main thread - are threads on European soccer OT? I know Brian allows them generally but I wasn't sure if that policy is effective during the football season too . . . Thanks in advance.
September 1st, 2011 at 8:44 PM ^
We count USA teams as local with the same provisos. If it's Euro soccer you'd better be rooting for Paris SG (you don't actually have to root for PSG but allez! allez allez allez! allez! allez!)

Hey fellas, can you guys do something for MGoUser Denarded? He's done an amazing job maintaining the "There are " posts for almost 8 months.
I know points don't mean as much as they used to, but maybe throw 1,000 or more his way?
Also, Max and PahokeePahokee filled in when Denarded couldn't.

User jback1111 is not exactly making a sterling first impression...
http://mgoblog.com/content/preview-2011-five-questions-defense#new
Not to mention he's running down a former UM player that, while frustrating at times, was one of the brighter spots on defense the past few years.

Can you please kill this thread:
http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/we-officially-ended-richrod-era-yesterday
The thread is unnecessary and the comments are now mostly personal attacks.
Thanks!
September 4th, 2011 at 3:07 PM ^
YouTube is public. Everyone knows that, right?
September 4th, 2011 at 3:18 PM ^
If you are going to delete the Rich Rod era thread, you might as well also delete the "Who is ready apologize to Section 1 thread." The thread turned into profitgoblue's personal thread for whining after nobody bought it. It is perhaps the most off topic thread posted since the off topic thread ban last Monday.

I haven't been able to access the site with Firefox 6 since after the game yesterday. I thought it was blown up on purpose, but finally pulled out IE and I can get in.
Anybody know what's going on with Firefox?

And the comments in the thread by the OP are...not MGoBlog caliber, IMHO.
September 4th, 2011 at 8:45 PM ^
Was it the f-bombs?
I think it was an intentional troll personally. Not too many 17 year-olds know Michigan had helmet stickers before they were born (I'm so, so old).
September 4th, 2011 at 9:34 PM ^
There was another f word in one of the comments, which is what I was bringing up.

Misleading headlines on Scout.com are misleading.

OT: Maryland uniforms-worst ever?
Uniforms that ugly deserve at least two posts. Maybe three or four. But for now, we'll go with one.

Thread locked after a guy went with a national socialist reference (guy is gone).
Apologies for the loss of some thoughtful comments by CRex. In the future let's not play "is it racist" on the boards. That's what Tosh is for.

You know who else deleted internet threads he disagreed with?
Hitler.

ogod bleacher report. Just when I thought I was in, they pull me back out.
We'll discuss if the B.R. ban will stay in effect since they've hired actual people who have actual credibility to maybe get them moving back toward the Alpha Quadrant of credibility. But incidents like posting a preview from a "trusted columnist" or whatever that says Minor is likely out with injury and Greg Robinson will be breaking in a new defense is the kind of thing that gets them flung back into the Delta Quadrant. I half expect the new guys to be assimilated within a month.

Tae was out for injury. Probably this week too.
In the pines, in the pines, where the sun don't ever shine...

I just bet my stupid roommate...
Not really thread-worthy. Plus any betting threads require JamieMac approval.
September 8th, 2011 at 12:36 AM ^
Echoing the sentiment in the thread, its not necessary to start threads about bets made with one's friends unless they are extraordinary in nature or inspire discussion (i.e. not the obligatory "cool story, bro" responses).
Also, if this is a re-try of a thread that was just moderated by my colleague Blue in South Bend, not cool OP. Fool us once, shame on us - fool us twice, shame on you!

OT: Grantland article on DFW's piece on Federer
Interesting, but a little too OT for in-season (especially with a big football match-game scheduled for tomorrow)
September 10th, 2011 at 3:34 PM ^
More hours than the countdown clock the OP posted left until the ND game.
