Dealing with Coronavirus on NSC

[dazzer6666]

Could the threads be grouped perhaps so anyone wanting to know or discuss anything specific can go straight to it ?

-help offered/needed
-Latest news
-local news/issues/bogroll supplies identified etc
-things to do whilst locked down/not at the football
-massive politicised binfest thread about how great/crap the Government is handling it

etc ?

A separate sub-forum with threads linked by the existing set of thread Prefixes would seem to cover most bases IMHO

 

[Soul Finger]

Or maybe we could help each other, and those in need? And put those in touch with people who require help, or can provide it?

Therefore a place not for the hoarding idiots who are massively exacerbating an already seriously problem.

I'd love for it to be off to one side if at all possible. I know I can't be alone in having heightened anxiety because of it and I think that NSC can be good for that as a bit of an escape, but it can be difficult at times because of the vast number of CV threads that dominate the Big Board at the moment.

I found this link to be quite helpful and informative on coping with the anxiety arising from CV overload.

Could do with a thread pointing out the GOOD things about the virus. Must be a few things, surely?

Yeah, no chat about relegation or BREXIT.

Bloody good idea Boz and something along the above lines with reasonably clear subject descriptions for each thread.

Good idea - Needs a poll

 

[happypig]

It's a "YES" from me (and my wife)

Iran has let some prisoners out for two weeks to be with their families, which includes Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe.

Will the mods be randomly banning people from posting to it like the current thread? Hardly helpful if you can not read it

If people post rubbish with the intention of trying to wind people up or heighten their anxiety then surely they are inviting a ban. It's not as if NSC is the only source of info for this crisis!!!!

 

[WATFORD zero]

Two more threads for the Coronavirus sub section

"I have been diagnosed with COVID-19"

"I think I might have COVID-19"

 

[GT49er]

Separate section is a good idea - but make it accessible through a sticky rather than hidden away like other stuff and community announcements (I presume that everybody else comes straight to the Big Board when coming on to NSC?) Don't think there's any need for the final bit though - enabling people to request being blocked from it - just don't click on the link if you don't want to discuss it/be reminded of it..

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I understand the imperative but people will start new threads. It will require extremely assertive intevention, with new threads isolated and quarantined in the new thread location, meaning that great vigilance will be required from the moderators. We cannot expect the ordinary NSC user to understand the responsibilities placed upon them at the present time. Personally however I am in favour of intervention, and a clear plan, even if not everyone understands it or agrees with it.

This is a good idea IMO.

 

[Chicken Run]

Keeping CV in separate area is a great idea and has my backing.

 

[Weststander]

A great idea for a sub forum.

With new posts/The Main Board actively policed for anyone creating new CV threads, perhaps not with the CV tag, so that they slip through.

Edit: Just seen HWT’s post, which essentially said the same.

Anyone who still posts "It's just the flu" ?

Just seen Bozza's post from yesterday. Please ignore the above.

I will certainly be firmer, finally, on (to use the pub analogy) the punters who keep coming in shouting and swearing that the bar staff are a bunch of wankers, and what a shit pub it is.

They can drink somewhere else.

This is not the time for that kind of behaviour.

Hope this helps.
