[Offers] Improving posting standards on NSC - some suggestions

[Greg Bobkin]

Defiantly, people need to be more pacific in their posts

This. Otherwise we're loose loads of posters.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

What strikes me about both of those now closed threads is a) how time flies – I can't believe that was more than 10 years ago – and 2) how many regular posters and/or familiar names have gone!

Less fish puns would be good. There's a time and a plaice

Fewer fish puns would be even batter.

You're whelk'm...

I'm here all bleak - try the fish (puns)!

NSC was shit for a few years, so I rarely posted. Now it's better and happily fuelling my narcissism.

Driven away by the woke lefties

I'll only say that, all these years on, I still get annoyed by people who write something they think is funny and stick a "LOL" on the end...

Quite rightly so, too.

LOL

I believe the thread (or one of them) that brought on the flounce was this:

LOL

Can we stop using this ridiculous 'word' please? In most cases you are not LOLing, you're probably not even smiling slightly. And don't LOL at something you've written yourself - that's just arrogant - let everyone else judge the humour (or lack of) in your mutterings. So stop it, please, or...

www.northstandchat.com

Newbies (that is, anyone who joined after 2014, and yes, the clique very much consider you a newbie) may want to read both in conjunction.

I'm bored so I'm about to.

Epic. Just EPIC.

The pearl-clutching is absolutely off the scale on that thread. LOL.

Oh, shit

Just read this back, absolute gold! Wonder what the protagonists are up to these days?

LOL reunion thread hun? x

It's f***ing superb and should be compulsory reading for anyone who wants to "get" NSC. Can't believe it was 11 years ago though!

 

[Albion in the north]

I never put "Lol" at the end of my posts (I think anyone that puts "sigh" is 10 times worse) and most people dont get that Im being humourous. I guess its my northern sense of humour.

Poor old Martyn! Lol

 

[Motogull]

Auto correct for misspelling days of the week. As funny as bilateral testicular cancer.

Auto correct 'Ulloa's penalty' for 'I am sad and lonely'.

I can't believe I didn't wade into that historic thread at some point - I must have been on some kind of NSC hiatus or something. I'm mildly annoyed with myself tbh.

 

[Bodian]

Nazi like auto correction should only be applied to one word. Obtaining a new player has nothing to do with vocal talents - signing/singing!

But then how would I get stared at like a complete idiot at work when I announce in a meeting that we are finally going to be singing an agreement we've been after for a few years?

 

[Bodian]

Goodness me - I must have joined just after the curry, LOL and related threads. Never read them before.

My favourite post by a long way:

 

[BadFish]

I had never seen this before. What happened? Why did it end so abruptly?

Funny to think how much has changed in the Club/World since this was created over 10 years ago.

the short answer was that a flirty woman joined the forum and posted a lot in a flirty way that was quite at odds with the norm.

Everyone lost their f***ing minds, The natives split into factions some were fawning sycophants trying to get some (Many left their wives and partners) while others were shocked and offended by her posting styles and effect on the other chimps posters resulting in emotional attacks and some entertaining binfests. I believe she then took some poster and started a rival forum that didn't last long (presuable once the members realized she wasn't going to put out).

Aussie comedy but it kind of reminded me of this

 

[The Clamp]

Interesting to see so many posters who don’t post anymore. I posted under a different name back then but don’t think I got involved in that thread.

I recall Ladygull and how pathetic some posters became when she joined. How pathetic the whole situation became. Funny though.

Anyway, we married last July and had curry at the reception. She says hi.
