I thought the whole problem was that some thin-skinned, sensitive types felt that the mods were far too open-minded and welcoming to opposing points of view??
I am considering my position...
Which is happening anyway with the recent increase in visitors from south London and the small town near Portsmouth... so is there really an issue here at all?
I can assure you that EVERY reported post results in either a PM to the user concerned; a comment on the thread by a mod; a warning issued to the user; an infraction issued to the user; a ban issued to the user; a discussion among the Mods; a comment or sanction against the reporter (if...
I'm all for scrapping it... and letting the rumours and smears fly!

I really don't understand the mentality that can't just 'walk away'... if you behave like that in real life, you must spend the whole time in fights and arguments.

I don't know about other people, but I basically view The Big Board... and only very rarely go anywhere else on NSC.
What's the point of an Away End? Unless I changed the way I view NSC (and I'm not sure to what??) I wouldn't even see it most of the time.
