--------------------------------------
Sharing Trolls Counts as Trolling: Sometimes desperately lazy outlets hire trolls, or trolls who are good at social media build enough of a following, that they become a headache for us, spreading hate or falsehoods. Because having them repeated on our site can directly harm us, if you're on the message board you should be aware that posting something from them could get you banned. They are:
- SirYacht/Chat Sports/James Yoder - Fake news merchant who likes to make up plausible rumors or report non-sure things to get a false scoop.
- Any local Spartan media when they talk about Michigan. Unless they're yelling "MAKE PLAYS!"
- Pete Finebaum: FoxNews for SEC fans. Occasionally useful to them but the only times he's intersecting with us is when he's carrying Saban's water.
- Rainer Sabin: Finebaum wannabe hired by the Freep to troll Michigan fans.
- Steve Deace: Curiously well-funded white supremacist radio host who's got such a small Michigan following you can safely assume anyone posting positively about him is Deace and ban him again. Creates lots of burner accounts to promote himself. Recently booted by Maven for advocating lynching.
- Barstool: People who took the freedom of young internet too seriously because really what they wanted to do the whole time was propagate bad ideas.

Account is 7 years old (but I don't recognize it), had a lot to say about losing to MSU, but then died down shortly after that. Didn't pop back up until "Harbaugh to Vikings" was being reported as a done deal, and tried some "aw shucks that's disappointing, wished he would've stayed." And now that he is staying has gone off the deep end.

Nice, this is the very first time that I have had anyone cry to the mods about me. I have been around for seven years (more before I bothered to sign up). In hindsight, I shouldn’t have posted after having celebratory drinks regarding the first snow day of the year. I got way too fired up about Harbaugh.
I do apologize for hurting your feelings. I will be sure to avoid posting anything that goes against your opinion in the future. *edit* I see that you love to tattle to the moms. I will remind you that opinions that differ from yours don’t necessarily mean that they are coming from a Sparty.
Go Blue.

Rob, can you please address people like this that come to the moms thread just to cry about people that have differing opinions? You were so quick to appease him.

No appeasement involved whatsoever. I try to check this thread several times daily and follow thru on notifications by checking posting history of the subject of the complaint, but I also look at the context of the discussion being complained about. Taking a look back at my edit, I'm not sure what the problem is with my answer to the original complaint.
I don't see how it's "appeasement" for me to post here the results of my investigation; I try quite frequently to post a response---being that this is the moderator sticky thread, I've always felt that responding to complaints posted here is part of a mod's job description.

I was arguing in one single thread. I don’t post negative thoughts about Harbaugh on every single Harbaugh thread. Calling me a Sparty troll is complete bullshit. I get that you love to tattle on the Mod thread, but you need to have something other than “he made me feel bad”.

This sort of behavior is why your name came up in the first place. Rather than whine that someone should have the temerity to mention you at all in the Moderator Sticky, you could always simply state your case in a less offensive and less derisive manner, and I am sure that, if you did so, perhaps your concern might be addressed.
As it is, you've chosen the route of a petulant, indignant person and I must say, it is unflattering and doesn't really cause anyone to think you are serious in your appeal or indeed to reply to you on a serious level. Of course, I suspect a serious discussion isn't precisely your aim here, so let's just leave it here then, shall we?

football; Jim Harbaugh; press conference; Minter; Jay Harbaugh; Gattis; quarterback deleted.
While the OP unintentionally had a catchy and unique title, he also linked Rainier Sabin of the Freep. (I'll give him credit for immediately calling himself out over it, though)
I did find it a bit interesting that Sabin, having no material of his own to base a column upon, somewhat plagiarized Jon Jansen's podcast, slapped his own name on the byline, and called it good. I'd call it lazy, but the freep calls it... journalism?

I'll take a closer look at his posting history but he may be getting a short time out.
I tried looking at his history when I first saw this around 3 or 4 pm, but with all the post-melee discussion this afternoon I kept getting error messages.

Locking and taking a closer look at CC: John Beilein.
Either way, do we really need 'CC:' threads when there's been no decision yet (and definitely won't happen before Monday at the earliest)?
[edit @10:20) I'm keeping the thread on the board but locked, in an effort to halt coaching change threads for at least the time being.
I'm also deleting a few absolutely unnecessary comments. Those who had their posts deleted seriously need to cease hostilities. ]

Bussin' with the Boys interviews multiple players/staff ...deleted.
OP---It's not so much (as you claimed in your opening post) that "Lewan and Barstool aren't loved by some on the board"; in reality (regarding Barstool) MGoBlog ownership and management has long specifically banned Barstool (see Mod Sticky thread and FAQ section). This ban isn't limited to Barstool links---I interpret Seth's ban to also include opening posts that promote and encourage clicks on the B-S website.
As for Lewan, there seems to be plenty of very good reasons he's "not loved'' by many of the Michigan Football fan base. It's primarily due to Lewan's own alleged extremely bad behavior while at Michigan.

Thanks, I noticed it and blocked him around 11pm or so; LSA had taken down another user's account in that same thread earlier. I'm still monitoring the thread and have inspected the posting history of a couple others who raised red flags.
The 'Michigan spring game honorary captain...' thread will stay up for now but I have no doubts that we'll have to continue keeping an eye on it.
[edit @ 1:20 am: temporarily locking it until morning. Consider this to be a time-out for everyone (I need sleep, too) in the hope that when the thread is reopened sometime in the morning we can keep it on the rails]
[edit: unlocked as of 9:40 am]
---------------------
[edit @ 1:15 am 4/1/22:
Locking again, at least for the overnight but possibly permanently.
What has been a healthy, measured discussion at times today between numerous MGoUsers seems again to have deteriorated as it got later in the evening and pointless sniping predominated.
There will likely be some warnings issued on Friday for a few ad hominem attacks I spotted while briefly scanning over the entire thread a short time ago. As many as 2 or 3 accounts might be getting some temporary time away, one of them (CaptainObvious) is again being sent permanently to "Bolivaria".
Another MGoUser appears to have said his goodbyes on his own.
