Meta: Can I be a Moderator?
First: THIS SITE NEEDS MORE MODERATORS. There are SO MANY SHITHEADS from other fan-bases who are polluting this site with trash that no Michigan fan wants to see. And there are other Michigan fans who aren't following basic rules of the site. And the content creators shouldn't be responsible for policing all of this.
I'm not a content creator on the blog portion of this site obviously, but I read and contribute to the board with regularity. And I think I have a level-headed finger on the pulse of what this blog is trying to be. And I want to contribute to the site being less of the shit show it has been since the Wisconsin game.
And if the answer is: "No, not you", can we please have some other people be made moderators? Others (I just saw Magnus, who is definitely a better option, offer his name up) are willing to take up the mantle.
This site needs more moderation. I want this site not to suck, in the way it has over the past several weeks, and also at other specific shitty times for Michigan football. I will do this for free. I just like the site.

Yes, we already have one Brian.
October 8th, 2019 at 11:32 AM ^
I suppose deleting every post because it "doesn't matter" would be counterproductive to the purpose of the board.
October 8th, 2019 at 11:44 AM ^
+100 Hilarious.
October 8th, 2019 at 11:18 AM ^
I have lots of internet experience!
October 8th, 2019 at 11:20 AM ^
And you are a sentient hotel, so there's that.
October 8th, 2019 at 11:22 AM ^
he does love to read his own writing.......
October 8th, 2019 at 11:38 AM ^
I get frustrated by OPG (other people's grammar).
Also, I get mad easily when Michigan has the ball.
Also, I enjoy opportunities to reply to OPs with "Justin Feagin" as though people who began reading after 2008 should know what that means.
Also, "A Bridge Too Far" doesn't mean what Brian thinks it means.
Those are all my qualifications and defects.
October 8th, 2019 at 11:41 AM ^
anyone who posts in the 'game day' post thread should instantly be disqualified.
October 8th, 2019 at 11:47 AM ^
"I get mad easily when Michigan has the ball"
You have just described my Michigan fandom for as long as I can remember (except for the Cap One Bowl, Lloyd's swan song).
October 8th, 2019 at 11:38 AM ^
I feel deeply troubled by the fact that I, someone who writes thousands of words of bare-ass rationalizations to keep my sanity and to justify why I spend way too much time watching college students play sports, hasn't been asked to help moderate in a thoughtful, even-keel manner.
October 8th, 2019 at 11:39 AM ^
Ahhhh, the i'm way a lot more smarter than their you Grammar police. My fayvwrit.
October 8th, 2019 at 11:41 AM ^
Do I have the temperament to be a mod. Be honest.
October 8th, 2019 at 11:41 AM ^
Cheers and solid feedback!
October 8th, 2019 at 1:03 PM ^
There are users that are too aggressive? I wonder who those could be. Definitely not ones who use a cartoon Disney character as an avatar to trick people into thinking they're a docile poster...
October 8th, 2019 at 11:14 AM ^
mgowill was doing a pretty good job troll-hunting but I haven't seen him recently.
October 8th, 2019 at 11:16 AM ^
I'm telling you now. If you make that marsupial, small brain cavity, 2% milk thief, and low life a moderator, you better make me one too.
October 8th, 2019 at 11:22 AM ^
all-world gauntlet throw-down. love it.
October 8th, 2019 at 11:28 AM ^
Some situations are just so egregious, you have to take a stand.
October 8th, 2019 at 12:01 PM ^
Ah, the sackless gibbon gives his take. You know I'd add some pizzazz to the moderation activities and you know it. Stick to picking dingleberries off your butthole and feeding your mom the parasites off your greasy head.
October 8th, 2019 at 12:52 PM ^
Sic your buddy on him, Mean Joe!
October 8th, 2019 at 12:56 PM ^
Sackless? View and weep...
October 8th, 2019 at 1:50 PM ^
They really should make a monster movie about you & MeanJoe doing battle in Ann Arbor...avoid destroying the stadium please
October 8th, 2019 at 2:03 PM ^
:-) starts in the genetics lab at U of M with students working to cure Alzheimer's with an experimental drug called ALZ-112. The drug is given to a Koala, but he just gets more randy. It's then given to a chimp. He gets real smart and the apes take over the planet!
October 8th, 2019 at 11:23 AM ^
I heard we can't add/change any moderators because the transition cost will be too high.
October 8th, 2019 at 11:29 AM ^
I think it's more about the no-huddle moderation.
October 8th, 2019 at 11:57 AM ^
I feel like we're right in stride with our moderation around here
October 8th, 2019 at 11:59 AM ^
The mods don't huddle any more, but they're still slow to take action.
October 8th, 2019 at 11:34 AM ^
Why haven't I been offered to become a mom?!? You fucking fucks? I'd just like to talk to you about Jesus and the the current election and anal glands in dogs. Those are the topics I would support!!!! Vote for me.
October 8th, 2019 at 11:40 AM ^
Ah, my MGoBlogArchEnemy.
No fucking way I'm putting up with you being a mod you pouch dwelling riff-raff, though the dog anal gland topic is a good idea for a discussion.
October 8th, 2019 at 11:42 AM ^
My first order of business would be banning you. Then promptly banging your mom.
October 8th, 2019 at 11:44 AM ^
Joe, I feel bad about telling you this, but she said you just weren't that great in bed.
October 8th, 2019 at 11:41 AM ^
hey joe, look up about 6 posts above this one. you got called out, big time.
what you gonna do, marsupial,
when the simian runs wild over you?!?!
October 8th, 2019 at 11:43 AM ^
He's been hiding ever since Virginia gave me a drivers license.
October 8th, 2019 at 11:42 AM ^
Would you make MGoBlog great again and build a firewall?
October 8th, 2019 at 12:31 PM ^
And make 11Warriors pay for it.
October 8th, 2019 at 12:59 PM ^
By withholding raises for the ones we employ?
October 8th, 2019 at 11:43 AM ^
Best post on this board in some time. Thanks for volunteering.
October 8th, 2019 at 11:51 AM ^
I would like either a mod election where users campaign and then we all vote or a gameshow style where there are tribes and challenges and people get voted off...or is that exactly the same thing?
October 8th, 2019 at 12:02 PM ^
Hmmm... Does Putingrad get input to this 'election' you seek?
October 8th, 2019 at 12:57 PM ^
Actually I think we should build in "auto-mod" functionality. Hear me out on this one cause I think you're gonna like it.
So when I user reaches a certain point threshold....say....I dunno...132,100 points or so the blog AUTOMATICALLY grants that user total mod power to delete threads, users, what-have-you as they see fit.
Perfect huh?
October 8th, 2019 at 8:20 PM ^
I like the idea, but I think the point total should be somewhere around 19,000 or so.
October 8th, 2019 at 12:04 PM ^
Huntmich, I'd like to say thank you for giving us such an entertaining thread in the middle of a weeks long shit post contest! +1 to you!!!
As for being a mod, nay, requesting to be a mod... It reminds me of the acronym NAVY.
(Never Again Volunteer Yourself)
October 8th, 2019 at 12:05 PM ^
I don't post much, but I'm on the site way more than I am willing to admit (especially to my boss).
I think I'm pretty even keeled. I'd be happy to help out if the powers that be wanted me to.
October 8th, 2019 at 12:08 PM ^
FYI: I offered to be a mod a while ago, but I would be pretty useless as a mod now. They would be getting the same thing they're getting right now, because I just don't have the time to do it.
October 8th, 2019 at 12:32 PM ^
Agreed, there's been some really stupid threads and OT threads recently
October 8th, 2019 at 12:36 PM ^
If we can't get more moderators. ...can we at least get a supervisor or two ?
