[NSC] Time for a separate 'NSC music' sub-forum?

[Neville's Breakfast]

Instructions on how to ignore threads based on their tag please?

Cricket and Music would be first out of the door for me!

Why do you need to ignore a thread based on its tag ? Just ignore any thread you want for whatever reason you want. Makes NSC a better place.

 

[Mustafa II]

Just three steps.
1. Read the thread title
2. Let brain process that the thread is about music or cricket.
3. Don't open the thread.

Yep, good luck with that. Not for me. Life's far too short.

I've identified a problem, and presented a possible solution that could improve the quality of the board.

Because, let's be honest, the music threads are utter garbage to the majority of people who come here for football (and other local) chat.

Normally I don't have an issue with it, having been here for years... but they're especially prolific and contain the same people recommending the same old shitty songs.

I do that, but new ones keep popping up. It's like whack-a-mole!

Feel sorry for the fans who come here without being aware of the function.

Let’s hijack the thread.

Favourite song from 1995?



Someone else can start the 1996 thread.

I think it's about time NSC put all the threads I don't care about into a new sub-section, so the big board is just all the threads I want to see.

Screw the rest of you and your preferences. This place should cater to me, and me alone.

See step three of my simple plan.

We also still need to locate the Ulloa penalty ball (last seen hurtling past Jupiter apparently)

Eight Miles High?
Across The Universe?
Up, Up and Away?

This might need a music thread...

Fair enough. I put all the political threads on ignore and have found that putting a few of the posters who generally start those threads on ignore as well deals with the problem quite nicely.

Agree, this one caught me out though.

Thread 'Just don't mention the Emirates game'

Is it half term already?

Yes

Nice idea... but what if one of the political thread starters, by chance, posts a quality thread that you then miss out on?

It would be nice to have *some* kind of order, at least where the most prolific and irrelevant threads were put in one place for those who enjoy them to enjoy without cluttering up the main board... I mean, it works for the Bear Pit.

NSC does have competition these days. If new and potential users come here and see 20 threads of the same old gits recommending shitty songs from 30 to 50 years ago between each other, it's not a great advert for the site for young or new Albion fans who want to talk football.

That’s easy. I don’t really care about missing a thread on NSC. Anyway I still see your ‘quality threads’ despite your political ones

When it comes to suggestions on how to
Improve the board I’m pretty sure the last person we’ll be calling for advice from is someone who asked for their posts and data to be deleted and claimed to be “immune to Covid” and, falsely, claimed to be making money for the site before, with a total lack of self awareness, re registering with almost exactly the same username, having put the site owner to the trouble of deleting you.

This thread is warming up nicely...

In short: act like a ****. get treated like a ****.

Yup. That must be a 90% shorter sentence than mine.

I thought Michael Owen had found it on his way out of The Grand?
