Firstly, I'm making no promises to do anything at all based on the outcome of this poll, but I'm canvassing opinion anyway.
This poll is more comprehensive than the last one which was horribly misunderstood by many.
How should we treat away fans, which are predominantly from Palace, on NSC?
Option A
As soon as a user is identified as being an away fan, either when they join or shortly after, they are restricted to posting in a new 'away end' sub-forum. They can never post in the main forum.
All existing away fans, regardless of how decent they are, are also restricted to being to post only in the 'away end'.
Albion NSCers who wish to engage in banter, will have to post in the 'away end' in order to do so. They can, of course, still post in the main forum.
Option B
A user who is identified as an away fan is given the benefit of the doubt and is allowed to post on the main forum when they join. However, as soon as they make a single post that can be considered to be inflammatory/trolling they are restricted to posting in a new 'away end' sub-forum.
The same benefit of the doubt will be extended to existing away fans on NSC, but they will face the same restriction if they troll.

Option C
A user who is identified as an away fan is given the benefit of the doubt and is allowed to post on the main forum when they join. If however, they make a post that can be considered to be inflammatory/trolling they will be given a first and last warning. If they make a second similar post, they are restricted to posting in a new 'away end' sub-forum.
The same benefit of the doubt will be extended to existing away fans on NSC, but they will face the same restriction if they troll twice.

Option D
No pre-judging is made on a user based on who they support. If, however, Albion specific threads are sidelined or inflammatory new threads are started, an infraction is issued. As is the case with every other NSCer, multiple infractions automatically convert into posting bans of increasing length.
Those who join and are immediately abusive are permanently banned.
There is no 'away end' sub-forum.
This, in essence, is how things are handled currently.
Option E
Something else - let us know your suggestion.
