Why is NSC better and has more members than rival forums?

[Perkino]

I think you've accidentally stumbled on the truth. NSC is the best because it's a necessity, because Andy Naylor is so shit.

Unfortunately the Argus website and our own club website is slow with information which makes NSC a better option. Also it has the added advantage of not being simply a football forum, plenty of topics discussed and a number of well rounded comments are posted to generate discussions which rarely turn into any heavy one sided oppression of views.

Mainly though we don't have football thugs who are overly aggressive or offering up violence when people disagree with them. Those sorts of supporters need to be banned as soon as they surface

No way they could afford what Bozza pays me.

We know. But they are a BIG club. We want them to enter a BIDDING WAR with oneBORO and Clarets-Mad.

I'd only consider going if they sign [MENTION=31]El Presidente[/MENTION] as well. We come as a PACKAGE.

Having studied a succession of strong Tory governments, I set out to shrink the NSC state (moderating team) and allow market forces (report posts - we're all in this together) to shape the site.

Those entrepreneurial minded folk who post strong and engaging content have risen to the top of the community, and rightly so, and I do my best to look after them. Those at the other end of the food chain regularly receive handouts from the NSC soup kitchens, in the form of grammatical and spelling corrections.

I thought you just sent their threads to the other stuff, so they can be forgotten about. That would have been the true Tory way of dealing with the less advanced in society.

A different option would be getting rid of the entire moderating team and recruit one eastern european as a replacement, who would put more hours in, for less and possibly do a better job.

Ssssshhhhhh - we don't like to admit that.

the other stuff is NSC prison for those that overstep the (very broad) boundaries of good taste, they are still there for those visitors that want to attempt to rehabilitate.

Without wanting to disappear too far up our own arses, it's popular due to the quality of the posts and the posters.

NSC in many ways reflects Brighton as a city, quirky, tolerant, diverse,self-deprecating and smart. We can act like tits at times, but the good far outweighs the bad.

It also self polices itself very well. Posters have a broad feel for where the boundaries should be, and tend to stay within them. Differences of opinion, expressed knowledgeably and passionately by all sides of the political, cultural, economic and sporting divide, are encouraged.

Piss taking of those who make goons of themselves produces coffee spitting over keyboard moments. Abuse is not welcome, encouraged or tolerated, and in the main posters keep within those parameters.

A huge hats off should be given to Bozza too. I'm not sucking up to the guv'nor, but the work he does behind the scenes, in dealing with not just the technical aspects of the board, but also having to deal with threats of varying deals of venom from those who would rather NSC be a muzzled beast, is stupendous.

We have a good relationship with the club itself, in terms of being on talking terms with some of the hierarchy, but will still take it to task where necessary, and that surely is good for all involved. An independent message board for fans both allows them to let off steam, but also know that their voices are being heard. So long as comments are kept on the right side of the law then those in power can take note of fans comments and frustrations, or ignore them at their peril.

As a last ditch attempt to save your job it's not a bad effort .... still think the eastern european option is worth considering though.

It has the must-read missives of El Presidente.

NSC is like the Seagulls Line, your Seagulls news first each and every day 24 hours a day on 0891 800 609, without the phone bills or Tony Millard.

Back to Brighton in 3 weeks time Boz. Me as a moderator? Be like having Blackie doing it.

 

[worthingseagull123]

NSC is what it says.........'No Shit Conversations'

It lets genuine football fans speak their minds, to a point, without prejudice or bias, whilst talking about the best club in UK.

I feel better for saying that

Not sure it is unbiased mate.

Some of the delusional crap I have read over the years on here from the cheerleaders and doomongers

Excellent summary - my views exactly.

 

[TheJasperCo]

I like the layout. The setup on other forums is woeful and amateurish. This one has a clean, fresh and shiny appearance, much like a sparkly new pair of shoes.

 

[glasfryn]

great forum
mostly good humoured, after all we all bleed blue and white
and when any of us are up shite creek without a paddle there is always someone there to help with words of advice or just a shoulder
good work
