Dear NSC,
I often wonder why the good, decent Albion-supporting faithful on this forum engage with the idiot Palace wind-up merchants that come here to agitate, inflame and irritate? While I do acknowledge that fans of other clubs can provide a robust platform for debate, this rarely happens and in my albeit short time on NSC, all I have witnessed are slurs, insults and ad hominem attacks against the city,club and supporters of BHAFC. These (typically CPFC) posters have nothing to add to the discussions on NSC and are only here to wind people up. Why put up with it? People have come to NSC out of interest for their local club, to share thoughts, ideas, concerns, stories and for a general sense of community and not to be harassed by idiots from other clubs.
Fortunately there is a solution to this. These forums have within them the ability to block posts and comments from certain individuals. The Ignore User function is there for a purpose. My suggestion to NSC is to utilise it to the fullest extent. Trolls and posters of that ilk (CPFC) are looking for an audience. The best way to deal with them is to not give them the platform they are desperately seeking.
Granted that I am new to NSC, but I am unfortunately all-too familiar with the types to imbeciles that go on to opposition fan forums and hurl abuse. There are already a number of Palace "supporters" on my burgeoning Ignore User list. It is a cathartic process to remove any and all reference to them and their inane prattle. As a result, my experience on NSC has improved commensurately.
Just a thought experiment, nothing more, nothing less.
Yours truly,
Dr NBC

I agree with your original post by the way. Far too much reactionary blustering to obvious trolling.
