I've not read the whole thread, but I think basically people just need to chill out and not get offended/angered/incandescent with rage because someone has written something they don't like or agree with. We all have opinions, lots of the time there is no 'wrong' or 'right' and, let's face it, who cares anyway?
I'm all for conversation and a bit of debating, but when it all gets personal, mental health suffers and people are threatening to leave because if it, the people involved (in both sides) need to take a step back and look at how it is affecting them - and others.
Clearly it will never happen - I think some posters need this place (and the anonymity) to get pent up frustrations out of their system. At least when the football season is up and running we can all get back to arguing over the more important topics, such as who is the SHITEHOUSE member of the squad

I have to say that generally I think it is excellent hence 20+ years on here.
I may have mentioned it before
but I find dishonest posters frustrating, particularly repeat offenders. The NSC patron thing is good because it means that the poster has been honest enough to give bank details to Bozza, but doesn't offer the same level of provenance to those that cannot donate.
I wonder if as part of the 'sign up' process the new account should have to reply to a mod without using a VPN in order to prove they're not an already banned user. A status of 'NSC patron', 'NSC user' or whatever could be assigned. Only new accounts would have to do it, but any existing posters could message a mod without a VPN to get that status if they wanted.
Who knows, it may make the mods job a little easier
Other than that nothing really. It get's a bit silly in the off season but that's now an NSC institution.

On the few occasions when I dip into other teams boards I am struck by how much better nsc is, in structure and often content as well.
Whoever thinks that nsc is ' county standard ' should point us to any other board which he considers ' premier league '.

Probably because they aren't a professional moderator.

Would have been interesting if Potter had been reappointed.

I've put my glass down on the bar, so I can post and not drink at the same time!

Drink has been behind some of NSC's greatest moments

unprofessionally /ˌʌn.prəˈfeʃ.ən.əl.i/
adv. in a way that does not show the standard of behaviour that is expected from someone doing a particular job
however if you genuinely wish to stop all the trouble and hostility, make the whole board about nothing other than Brighton & Hove Albion FC and Football,
It's Milner...At least when the football season is up and running we can all get back to arguing over the more important topics, such as who is the SHITEHOUSE member of the squad
Being able to ignore threads was the game-changer 
.
Perhaps a subforum for player arriving rumours, or threads moved there when they hold little merit. NSC has been swamped this summer by people starting new threads at the drop of an internet clickbait.

To reference another post, we have a winner of NSC. Both points 100%.
However I fear the OP @Bozza wasn’t actually seeking constructive feedback.
But they're not doing a job.
I find little or nothing wrong with the site at all.
I manage not to open threads i have no interest in, never had to "ignore thread" and the only person whose posts I don't read are from our resident antisemite.
Some of those I don't agree with politically are a great source of information and / or hilarity on other threads.
I think the mods do a good and fair job and I'm really surprised that a few users give one mod so much abuse and get away with it.
It's a great site with many interesting people. Not sure how it could be improved tbh.
