NSC sin bin!

[Lammy]

Royal Ali's post and subsequent witch hunt got me thinking about a NSC sin bin.

Could it work?

I could use the yellow and red card rules. Minor offences such as Royal Ali's blunder would get a yellow card. More serious offences such as asking us to forgive and forget Scott McG***sh get a straight RED!

A straight RED = 2 months in the sin bin i.e. BANNED

2 YELLOWS = 1 month in the sin bin.

The cards could be displayed under our names.


Is this workable?

Weren't there yellow cards on a previous incarnation of NSC, or am I thinking of another board?

I was thinking that too!

 

[Muzzman]

I was thinking that too.. and I also remember it getting a little competitive on who could get the most yellow cards, I think Dwayne was involved.

I did mention the idea a while back when KTA was in full spam mode. No-one seemed to care.

 

[Bozza]

I think we have a 'yellow card' user group but don't really use it.

We can create as many user groups as we like, call them what we like, and allow users in each group differing privileges.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Could we have a vote on who gets the cards - now that could lead to a real witch-hunt.

 

[Lammy]

What about the banning lengths?

Too harsh?

not harsh enough?

What about people beyond a red card? Dwayne, KTA, Richie etc...

Witch hunts are usually pretty dubious things. Who gets to play god and decide what does or does not constitute an offence?

Just leave it to the mods

We're talking about banning people from an internet message board! We're not talking about taking away they're civil liberties!

 

[The Great Cornholio]

Maybe a panel of respected users voted in would be a good idea?

I can't decide if this is serious or sarcastic.

Isn't it a basic human right to be able to skive off work and waste your entire day on here?

You mean a clique. For gods sake don't tell Ritchie.

he'll have a poll posted before you know it.....

respected users

 

[Trufflehound]

"Respected users" is a contradiction in terms.

 

[Uncle Buck]

Would there be means to appeal and like FA appeals, could you block the process up by manipulating a series of technicalities?

 

[Lammy]

You could only appeal against a Red.

 

[Uncle Buck]

You could only appeal against a Red.

But would your ban be suspended whilst the appeal was in process? Would you get 14 days to submitt your appeal and then would you get further time to prepare your case?
