Moderator Action Sticky

I'm taking it off.

I had a few more obvious ones this morning I meant to report but I had so many tabs open for dear diary my RAM couldn't handle it.

Not diary appropriate and there are many threads on this phenomenon - too many, in fact.

Impressive rant (more thought out than many of the threads today) but there are enough "Iowa sucks" and "Ferentz is an a--hole" threads.

requires banhammer. See his comments about black QBs in the OSU game open thread.

Also see his subsequent "!@#$ your dog. Dead trash!!!" comment. This is the most banhammerable crap I've seen on MGoBlog, which is impressive.

I'd just say we're out of practice for locking down the board after a big loss. Not sure if that's a good thing or not.

Edit: Well some make it easy.

Patience is a virtue.  Or something like that.

It's just been so long since I've seen this epic a meltdown, I couldn't resist pointing it out-

Carroll likely (obviously?) had nothing to do with an individual's decision to use drugs and, in addition, this is probably not Board material at this point in the season.

Just seconds too slow!

Here's a procedure to follow when receiving spam:

1. Do not delete or move to spam folder.
2. Open any attachments on your computer, your work computer, and transfer contents to any classified computers you can access.
3. After you buy a new computer, forward email to your entire enterprise.
4. Create MGoBoard thread.
5. Bask in the love of your fellow man.

By the way, sorry I'm not around more. I'm really busy.

Michigan did not offer a JUCO lineman, although it does make sense to have Austin Panter 2 this year.

No OT.  Plus, the comments weren't very helpful, mostly due to my silly comments encouraging others to engage in silliness.  But its a Friday - cut me some slack!

Why is it that I got sent to Bolivia, good sirs?

...on Halo.

Its all fun and games until you realize that there are real people on the other end of the internets, real people that have real lives in addition to their moderator duties, real lives that require lots of time, time that should not have to be spent removing silly threads, silly thread that are inappropriate material.  Stop being so insensitive!

At least this spammer knows what MGoBlog is all about.

Sad story, and thoughts go out to his family. It's a little too off topic for a day with a lot of news threads on the board, though.

Broke both the Upton/O'Hara rule and the No Bleacher Report rule.

No, no, no.  The startup wasn't even focused on doing some greater good in a community.  MGoGoodwill is precious - more valuable than gold - and shalt not be exploited for personal gain without extremely good reason.  This was not one.  Consider this a warning.  The next attempt like this by anyone will earn that OP a trip to Bolivian.  In other words, attempt to spend MGoGoodwill carefully and wisely . . .

Double post.

Posted yesterday.  Just search "bowl gifts" in the Google search engine and it'll pop up first thing.

Kiosk.

Dublin: Honestly the rest of Ireland is better. If you've got one full day and some pieces of days rent a car and do a day trip to something in the countryside.

Amsterdam: Red Light district late at night, Van Gogh museum and the area around it, try this food they serve that's raw hamburger on a bun with onions and and egg and some mustardy-mayo sauce on top. Take the boat tour. Sex museum. Get French food for breakfast.

Itay: Eat. If it's between rushing your meal and missing one of the sites, forget the site and eat. EAT MAN! You have the rest of your life to eat food that is not Italian. Did you know they won't let real Parmesan cheese leave Italy? You've been eating processed crap. Try real stuff. Have wine. Italian wine is not French wine; you don't need to know special vintages and whatnot because Italians think wine is for drinking.

The Vatican (they deport you if you make fun of their gestapo rules about who gets to go inside), and see if you can get on a speaking tour (or catch one up) when you do the ruins of the forum so you can see the greatest poltical drama ever reenacted on the spot it happened. The Collsseum definitely. The Pantheon definitely. Castel Sant'Angelo (Hadrian's Mausoleum). The Villa Borghese gardens.

Warning: most of Rome from Roman times is gone, or like they'll point to a pile of rocks and say "that's what's left of a 4th century emperor's palace that was built on top of the palace of any emperor you'd know." The Renaissance liked to idolize Ancient Rome but in the process it built all of that Romanesque stuff on top of the ruins. If you want to walk around a city that feels like the Roman Empire try Verona. Verona is a kick-ass day.

So, so close BlueVball8. I'm sure you'll make up those few seconds for the next time.

Troll Ahoy

Mr.Mario86

May I suggest a couple of things I found helpful for nuked trolls:

• Change his password so he can't post
• Nuke his point total so he can't post or vote
• Change his status from "Active" to "Blocked

Mike Hart did not invent calling the Texas A&M/UCLA/Clemson the "Little Brother" school.

Protip: If a newspaper published recruiting news two days ago, MGoBlog has already discussed it.

The OT rules are in effect until Brian or Seth say they are not.

One idea that I had a while back was to go and re-read (or read for the first time) the classics.  I found I liked books like Dracula and Count of Monte Cristo much more now that I'm older and can appreciate them more.  Plus, Great Gatsby, Great Expectations, To Kill a Mockingbird, Catcher in the Rye, and all those are always a good read.
