[Humour] The Iron Fist of Bozza

[Guinness Boy]

What if he entrusts someone who might just be trigger happy because of a political difference

I picked a bad employee once...I hold my hands up they cost me a penny or two, it was bad judgement on my part.

The wrong moderator, trolling or bullying could be costly surely

Which bit of this did you not understand?

Possibly by giving the benefit of the doubt more often than we should,

I guess that's why the vetting process is so 'rigorous'

Can’t believe this thread is still rumbling on. Actually on reflection I can; it’s NSC.

As someone that’s been taking part in discussions on the internet since the early 90s I can wholly appreciate Bozza’s stance.

It reminds me of the old Warren Buffett saying playing poker, if you don’t know who the sucker is it’s you.

That’s a risk but it’s his. I’ve been a mod for more than 20 years, most others have plenty of experience too. We make permanent banning decisions by consensus, similar to the way the cabinet makes decisions.

Now you've got me worried, did you mean a cabinet per chance ?

I wooden like to answer that.

NSC ©2003 is still in there somewhere

Nowadays you get thrown off NSC just for saying you're English.

At the end of the day, NSC is a business that needs to run in an orderly fashion.
I'm guessing Bozza has money invested in NSC,along with others I suspect.
If you come on here and act like ****, you will get banned (sacked).
No arguments here

What THIS cabinet ?

This has been largely answered by other before me, but there's another connected-ish point which hasn't...

Most of the mods, including me, enjoy using NSC in the same way as everyone else. In fact I think it's the case that everyone that I invited to help moderate NSC, should they wish to do so, was asked because I could see from their usage that they get NSC. They had long history on the site, engaging in all manner of discussions and never taking themselves too seriously. NSC is lucky that beyond the current moderators, I know there are a lot of long-time NSCers who would be similarly capable of acting as a custodian, helping keep things on the straight and narrow.

I digress slightly...

The thing about using NSC in the same way most others do, posting thoughts and engaging in a wide range of discussions, is that occasionally this leads to getting into little spats with other NSCers and, depending on the personalities involved, these can rumble on. And sometimes on and on and on...

Fortunately, each of the current moderating team has sufficient self-awareness to stand aside from a moderating decision if they know they could be biased because of their history with the NSCer involved, and this happens from time to time. It would be easy to take these opportunities to settle a grudge and really stick the boot in, but I can't recall that ever happening.

A wooden MOD towers

I’ll say this….. NSC was better before the foreigners arrived.

None of the mods have any financial investment in NSC, nor do we receive any financial reward and have never requested any.

Your suspicions are unmerited.

It has to be run to survive, but it isn't a business, as in run for profit. Bozza also looks after the Mailing List. Occasional injections of money from wellwishers is occasionally required. Bozza is a proper active long term Brighton supporter, who has put in many a shift over decades. That's what he's here for and what NSC is here for. The community that is BHA.

FFS. I think I’ve just had the dreaded ‘Chairman’s Vote of Confidence.’

For the record, I never suggested any MOD had any financial investment, apart from Bozza.
It was just a stab in the dark, as I had previously stated NSC is a business

You mentioned ‘others’.

Cheers Mike, an honest answer to my honest alleged suspicions.

But others doesn't suggest MODS.
I could've offered Bozza money towards NSC....
