No. And nor does it give a penalty to spin.

"Nor" is already a conjunction; you don't need another.

Thanks. I'm always learning. Should I use "neither" instead ?

I think what they're saying is not to use "and" to start the sentence.

"No. Nor does it give a penalty to spin."

In the case of the quote, no. Generally good to avoid using two conjunctions side by side.

Neither's often used with nor in a compound phrase or sentence, such as "the negative side of the slider gives neither a bonus to power through nor a negative to spin."

Neither a borrower nor a lender be.

etc.

EDIT - and what Novus said

Gotcha, thanks.
