I have unilaterally implementing a new rule. Well, I guess the rule isn't NEW so much as it just hasn't been enforced. Either way, it's a thing now, and it's called the Snowflake Rule. The Snowflake Rule is simple: threads that just repeat the same stuff everyone else is thinking are not thread-worthy. Here are some ways to know if you are in violation of the Snowflake Rule:

  • Your thread title begins with the words "My thoughts on," "My opinion regarding," or "What I think about"
  • You cover a topic tat has been covered multiple times on the board or on the front page
  • The evidence supporting your post's hypothesis is entirely (a) opinion and/or (b) empty, high-level, tautological statements like "Denard is fast"
  • Your conclusion is something either obvious or completely opinion-based, like "we will be better if the blockers block people" or "Kalis should play because I think he'd be better." Or, as a totally hypothetical example, "Denard should run because Denard is fast at running."

Bottom line: posting a unique take on things is perfectly acceptable. If you want to post about a proposed defensive alignment or scheme that will allow the line to get better penetration? Knock yourself out. Want to demonstrate why Denard should run more by providing an analysis of past running QBs or of Michigan's success based on various run/pass ratios? We'd like to read it. But posting your take on a common question will get your thread pulled like something from a Weezer song.

MODERATE: Image posts of the altered comics, or links to the altered comics that don't clearly let the reader know what they're about to look at.

DON'T MODERATE: References or discussion about it on the board, or the creator's handle unless he breaks other board rules.

Personally I think it's funny and free speech etc. Would rather the creator link to the original every time.

Take my advice Stephen and dont do it.  For reasons that I have yet to get an answer on from anyone, one of the mods decided that the avatar you referenced was too revealing (apparently) and you see what I got instead.  And I'm a bit cheesed off for three reasons:

A.  It wasnt that revealing on any level

B. There are others that are worse...FAR worse...that are allowed to stay up

C. Nobody will tell me why it got popped and what the rationale was tor the popping.

 

PS: Congrats on the weight loss!  That's fantastic - keep it up!!!!!
