Moderator Action Sticky 2016
READ THIS FIRST:

- Politics. It's an election year; don't even bother.
- Useless content from other sites. There are a lot of sites feeding a lot of Michigan content out there, and a lot of that is good stuff. But more than ever these days a lot of it is just stuff which tries to tickle your fancy or make you mad about something. 247, WTKA always get the benefit of the doubt. Sharp, Valenti or Chatsports will lose you your posting priveleges without exception.
- Bewbs and general misogyny/objectifying of women. We're sick of it, our female readership is even sicker of it, and any value you might place on the comfort of cutting loose with the guys is worth less to us than the damage it does with tens of thousands of our readers.
- "MODS: Please activate Death Star and obliterate this post."
- He's going to Eastern Michigan
- No Assclowns.jpg
- Most. Offseason. Thng. Ever.
- Where "Snowflakes" comes from
- BiSB is THE KNOWLEDGE
- That's not how the internet works, profit. NEG!
- Bad at spam
- We lost to who?
- This is funnier if you imagine it's Hoke and DB fighting.
- On politics in general and that one really political guy.

First and foremost, I apologize for taking it to Twitter - once in a while, being the board moderater on a sports blog is rather frustrating and I chose a poor venue for venting / humor in that instance. I own that one and I apologize for it profusely.
As for the rest of it, I do believe the overall quality of the posts over time, the reactions and the way you interact with many of the users on here really do warrant a temporary stint in Bolivia. It is almost never about what you say, but rather how you say it, and you've had a history of not saying thing in the most constructive way possible.
You obviously disagree and that's quite alright, but several of the threads mentioned in this sticky are your threads - it is not a vendetta or an agenda. It is documented here. I don't wish to offend you, but I do have to think about the community here.
October 13th, 2016 at 5:42 PM ^
Nobody is to spend any more time on this. If he emails anyone, tweets anyone, or replies again about this completely correct moderator action just cave him.
October 13th, 2016 at 6:49 PM ^
The only reason I'm responding here is because I told to by David. This is exactly what he sent me:
"Seth says to post in the moderator action sticky. And LSA has full discretion to decide."
October 13th, 2016 at 6:44 PM ^
Apology accepted, and I'll try and construct future posts with this lesson in mind. Just curious when I can expect to get my points back. Thanks.
October 15th, 2016 at 2:33 PM ^
OT : Covering your Camera from Hackers by using Velcro
This is a little TOO OT....even for a bye week, and especially in season.
October 16th, 2016 at 7:51 AM ^
Watched THE ohio at Wisconsin
Official Fuck Fuck Fuck Ohio State
I think this got extensive discussion in the Night Games thread, so we'll remove a bit of clutter and overlap - no offense to the OPs meant.
October 18th, 2016 at 2:29 PM ^
OT: How to fix Brian Kelly / ND?
OT: How to Fix Big 12
Experience Spartan Football
Just a little cleanup now that I have some time today.
October 18th, 2016 at 9:54 PM ^
What is Sparty Selling?
This will likely not go well, and besides - "....this scholarship normally valued at $120,000 can be yours for $680 on SALE OF THE CENTURY"
October 18th, 2016 at 10:05 PM ^
My "In Before Delouse" comment was inspired. Now it's gone. ALL GONE!
October 19th, 2016 at 7:05 AM ^
OTish: why did denard never really pan out?
I am admittedly still swilling coffee so I can wake up and fully comprehend things, but I am pretty sure that 21 downvotes and counting means we can dispense with this one.
October 19th, 2016 at 9:56 AM ^
Wasn't it?
October 21st, 2016 at 10:51 AM ^
Drew Sharp thread could use some cleaning up. At least one user needs a banhammer.
October 22nd, 2016 at 7:48 PM ^
Beat State
We'll run with the first Spartan Hate thread posted this time.
October 23rd, 2016 at 1:39 PM ^
I'm just going to leave this here
This one seems like it was poorly executed, so we'll take it down. The OP may try again at their own peril, of course.
October 23rd, 2016 at 2:11 PM ^
I bumped the combined thread and removed this as an experiment:
#2 in AP
My suggestion is that if we're going to do catch-all poll threads, please ask for a periodic bump or create it as soon as the Coaches or AP come out and then title it appropriately so we know to nuke the others.
I'll leave a couple duplicates this time, but keep this in mind for next week.
October 24th, 2016 at 11:01 PM ^
I think it makes sense that if someone wants to have a monopoly on the poll threads (which is fine by me) by making one thread for all the polls and rankings they should list them all in the post and update it as the day goes along.
October 24th, 2016 at 5:04 PM ^
4 star LB Willie Gay decommits from Ole Miss. He had Michigan as his leader a couple of weeks ago. Buckle up?
It's on the second page and was posted earlier today.
Again, you have to get up early in the morning for this sort of news to NOT be on the board within minutes.
October 24th, 2016 at 6:06 PM ^
They've cleaned it up recently. Let's give them the benefit of the doubt. If this becomes a 2009-2011 thugathon the OP is welcome to call me out.
October 26th, 2016 at 10:20 AM ^
The end of the MSU game last year
Pretty sure there was no game last year. Leap year was the official reason given, as I recall.
October 26th, 2016 at 3:17 PM ^
http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/connor-cook-trolls-michigan
Something something don't feed the trolls?
October 26th, 2016 at 3:35 PM ^
Connor Cook "trolls" michigan
Yeah, we should let that one fade away, shouldn't we?
Connor Cook can have his likely beyond obscure NFL career all to his own.
October 26th, 2016 at 3:54 PM ^
OT - Eleven Warriors - For entertainment only
Well, it isn't as entertaining as it might be when you can't understand what the f*ck the dude is trying to say.
October 26th, 2016 at 4:11 PM ^
Page seems broken somehow on app and google chrome.
October 27th, 2016 at 11:18 AM ^
at the top of the page between "Useful Stuff" and "Schedule/Tix"? It links to Wednesday's Jedd Fisch press conference, so it looks like a bug.
October 27th, 2016 at 1:03 PM ^
Harbaugh talking about sex addiction with a player in Vine
This is from the Jameis Winston stuff last year. In other news:
October 27th, 2016 at 3:01 PM ^
Officials for the the Michigan-MSU game?
This one didn't seem like it was going all that well, although there was some excellent snark in here. Well done.
October 28th, 2016 at 10:56 AM ^
How bad did that get? I was going to leave it because a lot of Michigan fans are anxious to see if O'Niell's crew does this game again. We got them for just Hawaii so far.
October 28th, 2016 at 10:55 AM ^
not really accomplishing anything to have a thread for this.
October 29th, 2016 at 10:54 AM ^
Got us a troll.
October 29th, 2016 at 1:29 PM ^
Tough question
Too tough for this board, in fact - let's not even broach politics.
October 29th, 2016 at 11:30 PM ^
A single digit win over a team with a losing record
We're covered on threads bitching about the bitching. Trust me on this one. Let's try to limit additional threads.
I have, however, put the OP's thoughts into one of the existing threads.
October 30th, 2016 at 10:12 PM ^
A little cleanup of some threads that aren't going too well for the OPs -
OT: A test for the CFP committee
This one might be too laden with hypotheticals for the board to take it seriously, and indeed, that's where it was going.
Harbaugh looking to become the next Bartman
If someone can start this again with the picture of Harbaugh at the Cubs game from go, that might be better. Too late to really completely change the direction of this misfire.
November 2nd, 2016 at 10:15 AM ^
Video: Hello Darkness My Old Friend
Already posted by its creator the other day actually, but I do encourage those who have not seen it yet to go back to that original thread.
November 2nd, 2016 at 1:53 PM ^
Harbaugh: "I won't be able to work that into our preparations for Maryland?" What else does he give this answer to?
This didn't seem like it worked quite how the OP thought.
November 2nd, 2016 at 3:25 PM ^
Why we should pump the brakes on the Michigan hype train (?)
I think the problem here might be that the contrarian view - which is fine as always - is coming from a place not many people seem to know.
November 3rd, 2016 at 8:20 AM ^
Would winning the CFP despite losing to tOSU be less satisfying than beating tOSU and losing in the CFP?
Now that the World Series is over, I'd like to point out an interesting statistic...
See, apparently us mods can't even turn our backs and watch Game 7 of the World Series without some iffy threads appearing....
November 3rd, 2016 at 2:09 PM ^
We're taking Harbaugh for Granted
This is a flagrant misapplication of the proverbial we.
November 3rd, 2016 at 3:49 PM ^
What I Thought the Interesting World Series Statistic Would Be...
OP modified message and said "please disregard", but a similar thread - as noted above - didn't ultimately work out so well.
November 6th, 2016 at 7:49 AM ^
Why is college football so down this year?
Late night threads on Saturday in particular are an iffy proposition, as evidenced by the reaction to this one.
November 6th, 2016 at 9:27 PM ^
Wikipedia Entry for Ohio State Says Their Mascot is the Suckeye
Let's try not to be that blog, even though sometimes it seems like we can't help it.
November 7th, 2016 at 10:49 AM ^
Disrespekt
Disrespekt.
November 7th, 2016 at 1:42 PM ^
East Landfill humor
Apparently, no one found it funny.
November 8th, 2016 at 7:26 PM ^
about Solomon, a lot of the comments on the recruiting thread need to go. I thought they were ignorant to begin with but the one thing that may piss off his mother is to see accusations on a fan site that she can be bought.
November 9th, 2016 at 7:57 AM ^
which flat out accuses Harbaugh of buying players and Solomon's mom of looking for money. He's not citing any sources, rumors or anything.
This is in the recruiting thread on the front page.
November 14th, 2016 at 8:42 AM ^
The same pump-up thread was posted just hours earlier
November 14th, 2016 at 4:41 PM ^
Bad Iowa Tweet?
Let's also take the high road on this one.
November 14th, 2016 at 6:00 PM ^
Yes they are. Board policy is not to gum up the works

November 15th, 2016 at 12:51 PM ^
November 15th, 2016 at 4:19 PM ^
Very not worthy of a board thread but...
