Just a thought:
Provocative posts are the cause of many a Binfest, can you imagine this place without a good Binfest?
Sad times.
You haven't seen it in practise yet...hang on a bit before you get too depressed

So the mods should be spending Sunday banning all palace users from all Albion threads.... One would assume![]()
Most NSC users and, I dare say, all of the mods, enjoy the robust debates that happen here. I think it is highly unlikely that mods will be intervening to stop that. I certainly won't.
So nothing has changed yet you said ......
"A new feature has been added that allows a moderator to ban a user from a thread. So, if someone is being a bit anti-social or, despite warnings, keeps returning to a thread and making provocative posts, then their ability to view and post to that thread can be removed. "
That does not sound very optional to me ? The mandatory thread icons was at least put to a vote and when there was no clear majority, you said along the lines of " Well sod you all, I won't bother " . This could at least have been discussed. For all it's faults NSC can be an amazingly vibrant democracy given it's chance.
Besides that, I'm struggling to think of when it will be used, but it's certainly not to stop people being controversial.
This won't impact most NSCers directly, although most may well get some benefit from it.

Users will still get warnings for troll-like behaviour, but by being banned from a thread it should minimise the chances of a thread being de-railed.

Bozza-Can you please explain the colours and meanings of the envelopes on the left hand side of the new look Site?

Only if the mods actually explain to rest of us mere mortals, what they have done and why. Otherwise is starts to look like censorship... "you can only post so long as you agree with my opinion". Also it might provoke lots of similar threads by those banned from the original. It depends how much you trust all the mods to remain as fair, consistent and impartial as a typical Championship referee (one or two can have hasty triggar fingers).
Another nail in the coffin of NSC.
