META: Airing of Grievances - Bye Week Edition
Just as our beloved Wolverines need to sort some things out over the bye week, so too do we on MGoBoard. Whether it’s the narrow wins against Akron and UConn or the discussion of recruits, I think we can all admit that things have been more than a little tense around here. In that light, I am creating an Airing of Grievances: Bye Week Edition thread.
Mods, if you feel this isn’t the right time, or if it spirals out of control, feel free to take this down. However, I believe this is necessary.
TheGhostofChappuis and BlueDragon – I’ve been thinking about making this for a few days. Thanks for finally convincing me to do it.
Blah blah blah self-moderating blah blah blah. I wasn’t around back then.
Time to let it all out, folks. Go.

My apologies BiSB, but I remember your thread from back in June when things were getting crazy around here, and it seemed to help. Quite frankly this board has been in a sorry state lately, and I'm trying to do what I can to help.
September 25th, 2013 at 11:58 AM ^
All good. I just think we all need to have no grievances. That would solve everything.
Utopia FTW.

My grievance: Make up your damn mind about your user name!!!

"Nurse Ratchid, I want to have one more vote to see if the guys wanna watch the World Series game."

You couldn't smooth a silk sheet if you had a hot date with a babe... I lost my train of thought.

I hate the Chicago Bears, migraine headaches, and the color orange.
September 25th, 2013 at 11:45 AM ^
I kind of like orange, it reminds me of pumpkins and fall time....pumpkin pie...mmmmm.....
September 25th, 2013 at 11:47 AM ^
Fine.
I also hate Baldbill.

September 25th, 2013 at 11:44 AM ^
I would like to know what grievances led to me getting banned. I'll hang up and listen.
September 25th, 2013 at 11:48 AM ^
I guess you should change your name to "david from why."
Heheh. Get it? Heheheheh.
September 25th, 2013 at 11:55 AM ^
I was going to ask you the same thing.
September 25th, 2013 at 12:00 PM ^
But I shall inquire.
September 25th, 2013 at 12:26 PM ^
While you're at it, mind checking if I was also banned for association or something specific?
September 25th, 2013 at 1:17 PM ^
Tha said, I actually thought you were better behaved then normal last night and I found your thoughts at least interesting and not particularly nasty in any way.
Now I have absolutely zero connection to Brian or any of the mods, but I guess if it were my blog I may have banned or suspended your account (among others) last night because it seemed like the easiest way to take the steam out of a rapidly snowballing discussion without nuking the whole board. Basically you were a highly visible target that was adding momentum (though not really nastiness) to the mess, and somebody needed to get whacked. Just a theory though.
September 25th, 2013 at 2:08 PM ^
Aw, thanks brother/sister. Lets hug it out!
September 25th, 2013 at 4:09 PM ^
To be fair, I kind of agree with him/her. When you bring a point or reason to your arguement, you are a fine poster with valuable insight. But just because you think something is dumb doesnt mean you have to point it out all the time. You could just not click on the post?
I guess I'm saying you could probably lighten up or whatever.
September 25th, 2013 at 4:16 PM ^
Hey brother/sister, I'll hug it out with you as well!
September 25th, 2013 at 4:39 PM ^
!!!
:D
/hug
September 25th, 2013 at 4:46 PM ^
Are you calling me fat?!?!?!?!
September 25th, 2013 at 8:55 PM ^
September 25th, 2013 at 11:03 PM ^
but, i don't think someone should be banned just because they annoy a lot of people.
I think opinions that annoy or are contrary to popular opinion can spark good discussion... or at the very least a bit of entertainment.
Who wants to read a board full of a bunch of boring, like-minded yes men? Weak
September 25th, 2013 at 11:45 AM ^
GIVE US THE FREAKING +/- MODERATION BACK SO I HAVE INCENTIVE TO PRACTICE WITTICISMS AND INSIGHTFUL COMMENTS.
September 25th, 2013 at 11:55 AM ^
September 25th, 2013 at 11:57 AM ^
Brian and Co. have addressed that many times over. Technical problems. They spent at least a week working on restoring it, and Drupal just wouldn't comply. Then the season came and they had no more time.
September 25th, 2013 at 12:40 PM ^
September 25th, 2013 at 1:22 PM ^
September 25th, 2013 at 8:39 PM ^
What the hell!? I thought it was the fluxcapacitor.
September 26th, 2013 at 8:18 AM ^
THIS ^^^^^ is why we need posbangs back. +50 to you sir
September 26th, 2013 at 3:29 AM ^
Didn't he also say he'd try to work on it during the bye week? I'd forego some front page content from Brian if that meant getting the board back in order. All the way back.
September 25th, 2013 at 11:59 AM ^
It wasn't supposed to happen with the server move, but computers gonna compute.
Like most attempts at fixing what should work in the programming and scripting world, it will likely take hours and hours of figuratively bashing one's head into a wall until it crumbles.
September 25th, 2013 at 1:23 PM ^
This has been as much a cause of the bitchy demeanor of the board as the almost losses, if not more. Shitty, flamebait comments were quickly moderated and hidden before but now stick around and get responded too and devolve pretty quickly into fights where everyone has to get the last word in.
September 25th, 2013 at 11:46 AM ^
leads. I want more Board carnage.
September 25th, 2013 at 11:47 AM ^
I'm happy.
September 25th, 2013 at 11:48 AM ^
Happy? What kind of weird freak are you?
September 25th, 2013 at 11:52 AM ^
Psssst...hey...by "happy" he clearly means "gay." Calling him a freak isn't P.C., dude.
Oh...wait...it's the other way around. Never mind.
September 25th, 2013 at 11:48 AM ^
It's MGoMeltdown around here.
September 25th, 2013 at 11:48 AM ^
pretty sorely needed after last night and the last two weeks.
1. People who personally insult players during Live Blogs. Yeah, it's heat of the moment, but come on, would you say that to me in person?
2. People who make everything an either-or proposition. Often times, the answer lies more towards the middle.
3. Netflix. No Scooby Doo, Tom and Jerry, or Looney Tunes. Why do I pay for this?
September 25th, 2013 at 11:50 AM ^
"Yeah, it's heat of the moment, but come on, would you say that to me in person?"
I KNEW you were Mike Hart. Don't worry, I never insulted you in a live blog.
September 25th, 2013 at 8:51 PM ^
to get his job.
September 26th, 2013 at 8:21 AM ^
I noticed you upgraded your pineapple, and I approve of said upgrade.
September 25th, 2013 at 12:33 PM ^
I take exception this pineapple. Bring back the old pineapple.
