but can any of the mods explain why there has been no moderator action on these posts (among others on this thread)?

Many users have faced point reductions affecting their ability to edit any of the "trusted user" topics, post diaries and MGoBoard posts, ect. or faced a ban on commenting for using the same type of "cute nicknames" Brian warns against in his Official MGoBlog Pet Peeve List. I'm wondering why a user is allowed to say "Walverines" twice in a comment, post modified quotes about the 1968 Democratic Convention or gay marriage and not have any repercussions on the board. I'm trying not to get into my opinion on the topic, but can I have a black and white ruling on what posts/nicknames are okay and which aren't?

1) Congratulations, and good luck. I'm expecting my first in November. Well, my wife is. I'm expecting her to deliver a child, though, so I suppose I'm expecting.
2) No OT from this point on
3) Not sure about the first name, but Fergodsakes is a damn fine middle name.

Removing that thread was outrageous. That family is screwed now. I doubt the child will even have a name -- he'll probably just turn into some kind of sociology experiment where we see what happens when a human being has no natural way to refer to himself.
Plus, selfishly, I was really hoping that he'd go for my suggestion of [first name: "Turd"] [middle name: "named after Turd Ferguson"] [last name: "Ferguson"].

Second Opinion
Second Opinion
I read the initial article and I agree with ZL: there was no new information here. His gist was "LOIs are not scholarships" and that "it's different in the South" because many of the kids who sign LOIs don't end up making it to Bama. He vastly overstated the number of non-qualifiers and those who get drafted to play baseball the following spring to make his point, and failed to address the key points of dramatic medical hardship over-use, very high transfer attrition from the bottom of the depth chart, or the big kahuna: that it creates a situation where the coach HAS to have 15 or so guys "choose baseball" every year, etc., therefore creating a situation where the coach isn't acting in his players' best interests.
From a more established poster, okay, I might let this slide as discussion, however this user has been beating this particular drum before, and is far more interested in having his say than having a discussion.
Considering that and his reaction (an all-caps board post that broke not-Godwin's Law), this is a pretty clear-cut banhammer. If other Bama fans want to come here and have an open debate on the topic of oversigning, that is very welcome. This particular user is not.

A while back, he was
A while back, he was complaining about being downvoted in the Mod Action Thread and I specifically told him not to try and win an oversigning argument here. At best, that thread would have dissolved into everyone on the board ganging up on him and him writing increasingly angry posts. Personally, I didn't care about the rationale (although it was pretty pathetic).
Strangely enough, he got more slack than I would probably have given a Michigan fan. I want the opposite opinion here and really like the commentary of some of the OSU, ND, and MSU posters.

Well, the first post up there was August 24th
And when one gets the "you are THIS close to being banned" message, and he ignores it...again...and again...it's hard to tell if anyone is aware (I don't think anyone expects the mods to read every single post on the blog. Even I don't do that). And the previous poster saw that he was still posting today. So the wheels, they kind grind slow at times.

Listen, I want to apologize
Listen, I want to apologize
Listen, I want to apologize to you all. It was never my intent to be labelled a troll, but in coming to enemy territory I guess its the nature of the business.
I like college football a lot. I like coming here because some of your posters are the most intelligent football people around and some others are pretty damn funny.
As the "enemy" I didn't think you would mind some good natured ribbing, I can take it. I have been for 20 years. Clearly I was incorrect on this assumption. Perhaps even a little debate, IE Kelly's Discipline vs Hoke's Discipline, perhaps not.
Clearly all you want is the world through maize colored glasses and thats fine. I'll sit and lurk and read. But I just wanted to clear the air a bit and let you know where I am coming from.
Carry on.
PS: As for the rumours of being an old Freep troll handle, there is no substance to that. Also I wasn't banned from Irish Envy, I gave up dealing with some of the idiots over there who cannot process reality. I still lurk there.
Good luck in 2 weeks.
I hope there's not a 4th at bat.
