META: Where the fuck are the mods?
Sensationalist title, I know. I obviously appreciate everything the mods do and realize it's a very tough job, especially with the new site and all its issues.
That being said I felt like this was the best way to get the point across. There have been a litany of OSU (and MSU but mostly OSU right now) trolls on the board recently who have been allowed to post for weeks now with nothing happening to them. A bunch of us have posted in the Mod Action sticky thread asking for bans yet nothing. It's honestly pretty fucking dumb that in every thread we can expect at least one or two OSU fans posting some dick-ish comment knowing they're free to do so because the mods aren't doing anything.
Examples:

I concur.
August 14th, 2018 at 6:14 PM ^
Example 5 will blow your mind.
August 14th, 2018 at 6:17 PM ^
Are there mods? What are those? lol Ive been posting for a few months now and I have zero points. I think this board is not monitored at all lol
August 14th, 2018 at 6:21 PM ^
We're the 'deep web' now.
August 14th, 2018 at 7:13 PM ^
The points system has been broken for months now. The mods don't have anything to do with it though.
August 14th, 2018 at 6:17 PM ^
Hello,
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone at home?
Come on now
I hear you're feeling down
Well, I can ease your pain
And get you on your feet again
Relax
I'll need some information first
Just the basic facts
Can you show me where it hurts?

He's an artist!
August 14th, 2018 at 6:17 PM ^
Thank you
August 14th, 2018 at 6:18 PM ^
They simply don't care. They are fine turning this into a terrible wasteland of racist and sexist posts.
August 14th, 2018 at 6:43 PM ^
Not sure if serious but if so....GTFO!!!!!
August 14th, 2018 at 6:43 PM ^
Sounds like someone is in need of some Arabian Goggles.
Edit: In all seriousness, please take a look at your own comment history and ask yourself, what do you bring to the board?
August 14th, 2018 at 6:56 PM ^
You know nothing Tom Snow
August 14th, 2018 at 6:19 PM ^
And to think I was gonna pray for an end to world hunger tonight......
August 14th, 2018 at 6:20 PM ^
Bar of soap for you, Bambi!
But yeah, the invasion by OSU trolls has gotten out of hand over the last couple weeks. I'm sure that if we trolled 11 Warriors at a corresponding level, we'd have been tossed out by now.
August 14th, 2018 at 6:23 PM ^
Let's be honest, the entire site hasn't recovered since the move from 2.0
August 14th, 2018 at 6:44 PM ^
There were lots of trolls back then too. It was all just as ugly then too.
August 14th, 2018 at 9:11 PM ^
Agree. The interesting thing though is that there were less trolls from other teams. The trolls in the past were just annoying and said stuff to rile people up. These trolls are a whole new level. I’d trade these pricks away for RDT, Wolverine in a Bag and the Franklin Hatchetts of the world in a heartbeat. This ain’t your daddy’s Mgoblog!
August 14th, 2018 at 11:02 PM ^
Wow. MichiganFan1984 agrees with SkyPanther. In a post about trolls. Who would think?
August 14th, 2018 at 6:28 PM ^
Relax. Just dont feed em.
August 14th, 2018 at 6:29 PM ^
Try trolling the Ann Arbor City Council elections - they come back quick for such treasonous comments.
And god forbid, no criticisms of Draftageddon - to the dungeon, yon troll!
August 14th, 2018 at 6:45 PM ^

I know I know....
I will show myself out :)
August 14th, 2018 at 6:30 PM ^
Laat I knew the mods actually had no banhammer ability on 3.0.
August 14th, 2018 at 6:37 PM ^
They do. Seth posted in the sticky thread recently that he banned someone.
August 14th, 2018 at 6:48 PM ^
Maizen or Franklin Hatchet?
I think they were already banned iirc ;)
August 14th, 2018 at 8:57 PM ^
Bluey is gone. He admitted to being Maizen, iirc.
August 14th, 2018 at 10:26 PM ^
Seth is an admin, not a mod.
I think the mods are taking a break because they can't do anything right now.
August 14th, 2018 at 6:30 PM ^
They're out fightin' the Rockers at Brighton Beach.
August 14th, 2018 at 9:34 PM ^
nice video. backing soundtrack should be Cut My Hair from Quadrophenia by The Who
August 14th, 2018 at 6:36 PM ^
I feel like that thread title and the tone of this post will certainly get the mods to do something...it might just not be what you want.
August 14th, 2018 at 7:03 PM ^
What horse shit if they go after bambi. You know they read the threads. They just don't care. Im sure lsa will even comment in this thread.
August 14th, 2018 at 7:29 PM ^
That's bullshit that they just don't care. I don't think they should go after Bambi but calling the mods out probably wasn't the smartest decision. Bambi is on this board 24/7 and probably sees a lot of things that people with a life outside mgoblog wouldn't notice.
August 14th, 2018 at 8:21 PM ^
Real talk, I didn't even notice it was Bambi who posted this, I just kinda assumed it was one of the people who's been here six months and likes to rant about how awful everything is. Another piece of functionality lost from v2.0, making who the thread poster is much less obvious.
August 14th, 2018 at 6:40 PM ^
I believe several of the "regulars" are having illness issues. There is also very little new content except on the Message Board.
August 15th, 2018 at 8:24 AM ^
And thank God for the message board.
August 14th, 2018 at 6:41 PM ^
I think the mods duped us and are at the old site enjoying life
August 14th, 2018 at 7:04 PM ^
What? Who doesn't enjoy enormous amounts of white space a triple line spacing?
The new site is wide ruled with lots of pretty pictures like a 4th grade report on the State of Michigan.
August 14th, 2018 at 7:40 PM ^
I check every so often to make sure this isn't true
August 14th, 2018 at 6:42 PM ^
I still don't have the ability to up/down vote (I think most people don't... maybe...not sure?) Multiple downvotes is a BIG hint that the rest of the board is tired of certain people and calls attention to it. Otherwise hgb4529, woody2, scioto and a few others would be deep into negative point territory.
August 14th, 2018 at 9:30 PM ^
Annual subscription rate is about $5 less than what it costs to blow a load in your wife. So, $0.
August 15th, 2018 at 1:05 AM ^
Who's Tyler Lewan?
August 14th, 2018 at 8:59 PM ^
Hello, greatlakestate and my fellow board friends!!! I miss you all.
August 14th, 2018 at 6:43 PM ^
Maybe they hate the MGOBLOG 3.0 format too.
August 14th, 2018 at 11:27 PM ^
Pretty sure LSA has indirectly indicated of his distaste for mgoblog 3.0. Brian hasn't said much last time I checked. Seth is still very confident that the web-developers they hired are the greatest ever.
August 14th, 2018 at 6:50 PM ^
I wonder if the mods secretly like a bit of trolling, as it may boost board activity...
August 14th, 2018 at 7:26 PM ^
I know I'm in the minority, but I love a good troll. Sloppy trolling is lame, but whatever, easy to dismiss. McFarlin though, I still can't quite figure out. High quality trolling. It's embarrassing that Brian, funkymoses a troll himself, went to great lengths to expose McFarlin's identity. I'll probably get banned for bringing this up, but c'est la vie. On to username #3.
August 14th, 2018 at 8:27 PM ^
Dear All,
I present to you, sloppy trolling. Ineffective and also an embarrassing representation of his own fan base and actually humanity itself. His OSU brethern at r/cfb would cringe if they saw this.
-CLion
August 14th, 2018 at 9:22 PM ^
You're literally not even coherent. You are embarrassing your own fan base. By all means, please continue.
August 14th, 2018 at 8:51 PM ^
Tired of your need to spend countless hours on the interwebs, trying ridiculously hard to troll rival fanbases on a message board out of a self-serving desire to fulfill the empty void in your soul?
WELL TRY THE ALL NEW "LIFE"! Yes! Getting a LIFE has been scientifically proven to boost self-esteem, while simultaneously reducing the chances of being a douche canoe! Why try to fill your emptiness with bringing others down to your level of unfulfilled happiness, when there's a LIFE TO LIVE?!
TRY GETTING ONE TODAY!
August 14th, 2018 at 9:30 PM ^
No problem, buddy. And, yeah, while we're on the topic of "scrolling on by", have you thought about why you're here in the first place? If you don't like what's going on at your school, perhaps instead of instigating arguments on an online forum dedicated to the rival school that you "dont care about", you could try to mentally handle the Meyer situation all by yourself, without the false sense of validity "because Michigan has done bad stuff too". Sad.
Get the fuck over yourself. So glad you made it your personal responsibility to insert your bullshit takes and contrarian drivel on a football blog in order to break up the "circle jerk echo chamber". What a public service you're providing.
Give yourself a pat on the back.
