Wolverine247 Board

I know I'm a really new member of the board, but I've been lurking around for a long time, and just created an account. I'm continually impressed with the level of respectful communication that occurs on this board - I find it fosters an atmosphere that's very welcoming and enjoyable, and brings out the best in other teams' fans who elect to post here. The fact that we have civil discussions with Buckeye/Spartan fans routinely is a testament to the character of the board.

I think refraining from cursing/using slurs won't be a problem for the vast majority of the board, and I think it'll simply further emphasize the type of environment we want for this board, one where anyone can come for an intelligent, reasoned discussion of college football and recruiting (with a splash of GO BLUE flavor thrown in).

On top of everything else, the less we resemble Bucknuts, the better. After reading this post, I took a wild gander through some of the most recent threads over there, and here's a sampling of some posts, the likes of which I hope never to see in this forum: (note, these are all from different posters, this isn't just one person)

"You know what? scUM licks the festered, maggot covered anus of an old donkey. Always has. The most overrated, over-hyped, under achieving program in history! If that kid wants to go to Detroit then good luck to him! Wear that funny looking, s*** splattered helmet with pride! I'm sure there is a crack hoe waiting for him in the projects!"

"Jack Daniels and Neoavatara are both trolls and need to be banned from this board! Go back to your own little pathetic piece of s*** board you f***ing a**holes."

"Matt---Your becoming a CLOWN working your way to ASS CLOWN. --- Careful"

"again it amazes me that ceertain @@@@ heads keep positng on my threads........................please paid members, oh please give us info we dont know........I beg of you..................hold on, wait, I know before you do, so how about sucking my @@@ sack not so great and diego??? how about that?? some chin nuts for the two you whoe never have anything to say!!!!"

"lol no one takes f***** mattincincy serious. Stop posting garbage."

Let's all agree to never, ever, ever turn into that.

If we join a a VIP do we get to see all sites VIP postings or just MI. I know like for rivals, you can still only read certain articles from other teams sites.

This.

You can read any article you want on the 24/7 network, however you can only read the VIP posts on the board you are subscribing too.

All day all night.

Bumping this thread back up to the top.

We have noticed a large increase in personal insults and bad language, so going to give everyone a warning again.

Your first offense would have the insults and language removed from your post.

Second offense will also result in a one (1) day ban.

Third offense will result in a seven (7) day ban.

Fourth offense will result in either a thirty (30) day ban or permaban depending on the offense.

However, we reserve the right to skip any of these steps if we feel the poster's sole intent is to cause trouble and push the board's buttons.

We are encouraging plenty of healthy debate, and such language is not needed to make a point.

As a reminder, the GBOD Crew thread has a lot slacker setting, and less will be taken seriously there.

tRCMB boys beware!

Todd,
Can you add the hot topics back to the main Michigan page?

Why am I not surprised?
