Dear Mods: We Have a Troll Infestation
Normally, I never see flat-out trolls allowed to stick around on the board. There are borderline cases here and there, sure, but today we have a couple of guys on the board today just devoted to trolling and nothing else. What gives?
MODS: Thank you. I am glad Tampa is back to being a serial killer, and Paul Finebaum retured to Tuscaloosa...

Everyone make sure to also include your social security number, DOB and current mailing address.
Do your part to end the trolls!

That made me giggle. Tee hee.

Boy soul

Wha'd you say?
December 18th, 2017 at 3:58 PM ^
I'm hoping our fearless leader and others are working on an early Christmas present for us and haven't had the time to devote to banning trolls.

have a bat with barbed-wire, and instead you jam the handle into the guy's gut, it doesn't really have the same effect. I mean what the hell was Rick doing???

The trolls started going to the Mod Action Sticky.
December 18th, 2017 at 4:12 PM ^
A few posters already did awhile ago, but their ruining the mod action sticky thread now

Mods don't get paid. Take this to Seth and Brian.
Seth - Care to respond in a thread?

But that's like recommending him as an RA. It might be fun, but not necessarily a good idea.
December 18th, 2017 at 4:14 PM ^
If you've noticed it, the mods have noticed it.
No need for thread creation.
The amount of complaint threads has gone through the roof as of late. This site is awesome despite a few trolls, despite the old site format, and despite me even complaining about this complaint thread.
December 18th, 2017 at 4:15 PM ^
People complaining about the trolls have basically become as annoying as the trolls themselves. I think we've seen them increase over the last 2-3 months because whether you'll admit it or not there seems to be a single minded posting policy around here. People with honest, thoughtful, BUT negative (to an extent) opinions have been absolutely bombed.

Don't go there. I'm for active policing at this point though.
December 18th, 2017 at 4:24 PM ^
December 18th, 2017 at 4:25 PM ^
This. This site is almost unreadable at this point. I'm really hoping something changes when the new site comes out, if it ever does, but until then I'm probably not going to visit much until signing day. Which is probably a mistake because the site is unreadable during that too since it crashes all day.

you get negged because your posts are always so damned arrogant. You just think you are "telling it like it is".
December 18th, 2017 at 6:21 PM ^
December 18th, 2017 at 6:49 PM ^
Guy Fawkes, Yes...I agree with you. One can make a very logical, laiden with objective facts post, but if it is negative towards saying anything other than "Michigan is great" or that "We will go 11-0 next year" it has a tendency to get negged. I wouldn't get your panties in too much of a bunch about that. Just realize that is how the board "votes" and post such comments at your own risk.

minded diverse culture. Actually not now ... sad to say. So guess why?
December 18th, 2017 at 7:07 PM ^
I love 90% of this site, and will always come back, but the 10% that really sucks are the people that literally cannot handle a well thought out / logical argument to the "negative aspects" of the program. If you post anything other than "we will go 11-0" or "We will demolish OSU next year" you will get negged more than you get up voted. That is a fact and one that you must know is "post at your own risk".
December 18th, 2017 at 8:24 PM ^
"laden with facts" "objectivity" "well thought out" "logical" and so on.....you're better than that, Lakeyale, don't play into that #1 weakness.
You're not at any risk simply for having a different opinion, usually regardless of how well thought out the opinion is. You might pick up a neg here and there from someone who disagrees... nothing more than that, and you'll be just as likely to find that someone agrees with you. One of the things I most enjoyed (before today) about the board is that on a thread with 57 replies you might find 39 different ways of looking at things. Even at my advanced age, I live for learning and I learned so much here. Trolls don't do anything to add to the diverse quality of posts.
