Moderator Action Sticky
Brian has requested that instead of deleting each individual comment in the Moderator Action Sticky, that we instead just create a new thread. It takes hours of less time, preserves the comments for future explanations, and just clears things up faster.
You'll notice that the previous thread is now locked, and will slowly fade back into darkness. For the time being, the link from the Useful Stuff menu will point to the wrong location. We're working on a fix for that.
This thread is an ad-hoc way of tracking what threads and comments get removed. Mods that remove a thread should post the title here with a brief reason as to why the thread is gone.
NOTE: if you leave an irrelevant comment in this thread it will be deleted.
Ugh.
Not even close. Penalty box for a month.
Nice sentiment, but it could have been voiced in the thread directly below it on the main page. Penalty box for a month.
Open thread is available.

Got it, he transferred to OSU and wasn't drafted. Get over it.
I had a comment in the tOfficial LOL Boren thread that has disappeared. Normally, I don't care if something evaporates but for the life of me, I can't figure out why this particular comment was nuked?
No idea. Comments do get deleted if they're replies to a comment that gets deleted, but I can't see other mods actions unless they post them.
Your wish is my command. Penalty for a double post on the front page = 200 points or reduction to zero for one month, whichever is greater.
As a member currently serving time in the penalty box, I welcome as much company as possible!
Can we have an exception for posts within a reasonably small amount of time (e.g. a few minutes) of each other? Intertubes can sometimes get clogged.
I'm not hammering everyone, only egregious offenders. Without the point system, there needs to be something that keeps this place from descending into the bowels of MLive.
Two posts within five minutes results in a post deletion. Re-posting an ESPN article from four days ago results in MOAR ANGAR!
Two months in the penalty box. One for a double post of an item on the front page. One for a one line OP with no information.
....messing around. Giving them a little Marine Corps discipline is a good thing, I'd say.
There has to be some consequences to MLive behavior, right? I still haven't caved anyone, but a temporary reduction from 5000 to 0 might make folks think twice.
I see attacking of other posters is still tolerated on this board..
I deleted a bunch of comments in the thread I think you referenced. Most of them were yours, because the flaming started either right above or right below your comments--some might say as a result of your comments. In the future, mentioning anything about any President is going to ignite strong passions that are going to burn up on an anonymous message board. Just be an adult and refrain from mentioning them per the rules of the board. Also, don't make vague accusations on the mod thread. Provide a link if you want to complain about someone's actions.
FWIW, the .gif of him kicking the door down is hilarious.
Mods please do something about this post. I am getting tired of raising a valid point and getting neg bombed and personally attacked. this shit is getting old.

Can't you just thicken your skin or someting? You honestly want people spending their nights making sure nobody says
"Coming from the dude who started a new account because his normal one is negged to hell."
... to you? This is the second time this week you've come to the mod thread to complain about flaming where you're the main protagonist.
You know that is not true. The reply I am complaining about is a reply to my post where all I said is that the threshold for moderating posts with the point system should be raised. Tell me how that post is me being the instigator. I would love to hear the logic.
I am getting completely sick of this crap. This board is really starting to turn into RCMB with the mob mentality now. I can make a post where all I say is go blue and it is automatically negged to hell.
I am starting to believe mlive is more mature than this board.

Whenever we cave someone who posted in here, things start looking kind of awkward.

Mod Fight!!!!
Thunked down to the boards. I like the word Thunked. Sort of onomatopoetic, n'est pas?
Anyway I changed the title from "Why Mainstream Media = Nazi Terrorist Buckeyes: The Story of the 'Liar Liar' billboards" or something like that to what you see above.
Let it be known, from this day: Let it ring forth across this great land, that Section 1 doesn't like mainstream media. Also: he apparently has a telephone and used it to call a guy who said "i dunno." Board: okay, it's new information and certainly suggests not everyone was following up well in making the assumption that the billboard was made by Michigan fans. But speaking from one MSM editor's perspective, it doesn't make the fold.
Als Let it be known, from this day: Michigan hates Ohio State.
Wasn't my title all along simply "The story of the Liar Liar billboards"...? Actually, I think I started it as my own Diary entry as "Media Fail: The Story of the Liar Liar billboards."
Anyway, I just really want to thank Brian Cook for his assistance and involvement, in proving just a few days later that I was right all along, by virtue of somebody's subsequent Facebook-sleuthing.
Again, it is astonishing how many people missed the point. "Michigan fans" had been affirmatively alleged to have been behind the billboard. I took that allegation down to nothing, when Bob Brown admitted to me that he had told no one in the media that it was a "Michigan fan." And of course no one in the media anywhere had put 2 and 2 together, in the form of the 34-24 billboards of last December, courtesy of Bob Brown, Tom Carroll and CBS Outdoor-Detroit.
I was being hyperbolic. The title was a little enflambe.
The Brian with a Michigan Blog (NTBWAMB), The Other Brian of Genuinely Sarcastic fame is back.
Welcome back Other Brian, one of my favorite posters!
Sadly this does not deserve its own thread. Thread removed.
Penalty box for a month.
Thread was speculating on player names because of some dude's tweet. Needed to die.
Still, for precaution's sake, Michigan's entire defensive backfield has been moved to an undisclosed location guarded by 30 SEALS.
You will NOT take our T-Wolf!
Really? For future reference, dreams aren't forum topics.
Double post on the front page. Rules are rules. Penalty box for a month.
...please cave this comment and take action against the poster.
Done. Thx.
Offender was under 14 (yay facebook stalking) so his mother was informed as well.
Note: ^^ this is untrue but wouldn't that be funny guys?
...very funny. Some of our adult posters act like they're 14. You should tell their moms when that happens.
I'm 45 and act like I'm 14 quite often.
As a side note, please do NOT tell my mom. I'm 6'3 250 and she still scares the hell out of me.
Just too OT, sorry.
Being a jerk just to be a jerk isn't good form.
Too OT. I hope everyone got the answers they want.
That wasn't very civil.
...with inappropriate language in this post.

...of a lot of Lloyd hate on a thread about his selection to the the CFB HoF.
It sure is illuminating, but it hardly seems appropriate.
...alert here: http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/lsa-magazines-top-10-michigan-athletes#comm…
On a new thread even!
Political argument. No.
Fair enough I will be more careful in the future-too bad it is a great verbal engagment between Albom and Beckmann
If it was even tangentially related to Michigan sports, maybe. I couldn't listen, so I can't agree or disagree on how interesting it was, but it violates the boards rules. I imagine there will be plenty of it as the primary season heats up.
Repost. Penalty box for two weeks.
