I'm going too yey! would have never known if not for MgoBoard.

The vendor who uses "samesies" and "yey" sells very little.

1. Reposted thread topics. If you're going to start a new thread, read the first few pages on the MGoBoard to make sure it's not already posted. We've had several posts not just posted twice, but three or four times and it's irritating as fuck because it takes up front page space.
2. Properly label your threads. If it's offtopic, label it offtopic. Make sure people can understand what your thread is about from the title. A good thread starts with the thread title.
3. Please format better. If you want people to take you seriously and actually read your posts, it might be a good idea to have multiple paragraphs and to use capitalization. There's nothing worth than seeing a blob of text with no capitals. It's really harsh on the eyes. If you have something good to say, I want to read your post.
4. I reserve the right to add to this.
December 23rd, 2011 at 10:37 AM ^
you can't format on the app (to my knowledge) so those who break news on the go are pardoned in my eyes. All other points seconded.
December 23rd, 2011 at 10:43 AM ^
You can't do block quotes or any fancy formatting. however, what most poorly formatted posts need is just a coulpe returns in it, to make it more readable, which is possible to do from the app.

I hate when people respond to posts that need correction or addition, thereby making correction or addition impossible
December 23rd, 2011 at 10:13 AM ^
... I still don't fucking get it. Nor do I get how a "tweet" from a 16 year old boy can get the people on this board all up in a tizzy. It's a fuckin text message. It really means nothing. You are being played.
Honorable mentions:
Gary Danielson -- douche.
politics and the people who partake in the dark art.
D'Antonio, Saban, Paterno, and Tressel -- seriously, what horrible role models for young men. Yet, they still are revered by the media because they win at a game.
The media. What a fucking bunch of insecure jackasses who care more about generating false controversy and ignoring real controversy than they do about discovering the truth and doing what's right. All for $.
Thank you for listening. On to the feats of strength.

My grievance isn't with the board, it's with the bowl system in its current form: a racket run for the benefit of local old boy networks at the expense of universities and ultimately taxpayers in most cases. Fortunately Brian has been all over this. Just follow the "burn the whole system to the ground" link in the "bowl-lol update" paragraph in this post:

I've got a problem with those people (including my parents and in-laws) that order gifts online and send them directly to us, requiring us to wrap the gifts ourselves. Lazy, lazy, lazy!
December 23rd, 2011 at 10:19 AM ^
I'm not crazy about your face. That goes for any of you.
December 23rd, 2011 at 10:20 AM ^
During the past year, you have disappointed me in the following ways.
People who posts threads on prospects who are never, were never, and had no interest in coming here. Stefon Diggs, Noah Spence, Taylor McNamara, etc.
December 23rd, 2011 at 10:31 AM ^
That I posted a thread about Stefon Diggs, and I immediately regretted the decision.
December 23rd, 2011 at 10:24 AM ^
December 23rd, 2011 at 10:31 AM ^
I agree with you on all points, save for the cats. And I pos-bang you, because we both know what's coming.
December 23rd, 2011 at 10:44 AM ^
December 23rd, 2011 at 10:48 AM ^
You may know this already, but you can alter your settings such that ALL comments appear, even the -1's and 0's.
Below any OP, there is a big heading that says "Comment viewing options." Change the the threshold to [-1]. Save settings. VOILA, flamebait in all its glory. :)

wrestle your father!

The automatic negging of any comment that is positive toward a non Detroit team playing against a Detroit team.
December 23rd, 2011 at 10:39 AM ^
Bears suck White Sox suck Cubs suck Blackhawks suck Bulls suck.
December 23rd, 2011 at 10:43 AM ^
At least we agree on the Cubs. And Caleb Hanie...
December 23rd, 2011 at 11:05 AM ^
Although, given everything that's happening in Detroit, I could see there being justification for an inferiority complex.

I really only have a problem with anything Magnus says.
December 23rd, 2011 at 12:21 PM ^
And I have a problem with people who hate on Magnus for voicing his opinion.
December 23rd, 2011 at 1:14 PM ^
And I have a problem with people who reply in support of Magnus.
December 23rd, 2011 at 2:08 PM ^
And I have a problem with people who have a problem with people who reply in support of Magnus towards people who hate on Magnus.
December 23rd, 2011 at 2:40 PM ^
is that I can't assess his opinions with objectivity because I keep thinking he's Brandon Graham.
December 23rd, 2011 at 4:52 PM ^

1. FBS College Football - Can you think of any other sport where you can go undefeated and not have any shot at a championship? No one in college football controls their own destiny. No one.
2. Board Nazis - As you can see by my number of MGoPoints, I don't post much, but I do sometimes. Mainly, I love coming on here and getting information and just seeing the funny reactions to stuff going on. That being said, sometimes it seems like a junior high bitchfest sound board. "Learn the rules" or "this isn't OT." What the fuck is it to you, really? If you don't like it, move on to something else. If it didn't belong there and it is taking up your precious time and space, then you're making the situation worse by writing negative stuff. Just saying.
Wow, that felt good. I am really getting into the spirit of Festivus now. Happy Festivus Everybody!!!
December 23rd, 2011 at 11:22 AM ^
This isn't OT always makes me chuckle. Who cares if the guy was playing it on the safe side? He'd get bombed if he didn't post OT.
December 23rd, 2011 at 10:38 AM ^
I would love to share my opinion, but it keeps getting erased. Ironic, really.
December 23rd, 2011 at 10:53 AM ^
If there are specific comments that were deleted, I would be happy to discuss them with you and try to tell you why they were probably deleted. I've deleted maybe 15 or 20 comments total in the last 5 months, and most of those are racist/homophobic flamebait.
That said, "Tool is coming to Michigan" is not an opinion.
December 23rd, 2011 at 11:24 AM ^
I auto-upvote any clip from Big Lebowski. No context needed.
December 23rd, 2011 at 10:42 AM ^
when my post is labeled as spam! I never use swear words and I don't know why it is spam! Example: for the Halloween costume question, I wanted to know if Lloyd Brady was going as Lloyd Christmas or Tom Brady. SPAM. really??
As for a non MGOBLOG grievance, I am still annoyed that Armando Gallaraga did not get that perfect game. He was out, people! wait....that was 2010.
December 23rd, 2011 at 10:43 AM ^
Re: Gallaraga. Some grievances stand the test of time.
December 23rd, 2011 at 12:12 PM ^
Grievance validated. Festivus now enjoyable.
December 23rd, 2011 at 10:45 AM ^
My grievances against are:
-losing to them four years in a row
-listening to their gripe about being "disrespected" by the sports media
-listening to their gripe against the common football fan choosing Michigan over them and labelling them "Walmart Wolverines"
It's on Sparty!
December 23rd, 2011 at 10:45 AM ^
There is no Pos/Negbang anymore.
