11. Don't create distracting posts
e.g. posts in giant fonts or ALL
CAPS or with silly gifs.

17. Don't post anything that could
be considered offensive to Islam,
especially in the muslim section.

Now this is just callous. Why is the all caps and font size feature available if we cant use it. How about atheists being offensive to christians and our God or doesn't this matter? The 'tone' is just dictator-like, you can do better. All these rules can be described in one word, heaux-ish

eiete:

I think Seun should modify that part of the rules and regulation. If he is going to make a rule about insulting other

peoples faith, he should include other religions and he shouldn't limit it to the Muslims only. Or is he waiting for the

Christians and people other faiths to go on a rampage before he includes them as-well.
i dont think seun came up with those rules and regulation.... one of those moderators i guess came up with this crap
Re: Nairalands New Rules And Regulations, Your Take? by Enegod(m): 11:48am On May 08, 2013
Seun has been paid to defend islam...what a shame!

Seun: Don't post anything that could be considered offensive to Islam, especially in the muslim section.
In other words, you can abuse Christianity if you like.

Seun has insulted us


It's preposterous!!
It is, do we look like toddlers he can just command? That we're members of his forum doesn't give him the right to openly disrespect us.

THE 21 COMMANDMENTS OF SEUN

1. Always post on topic. Do not derail or tribalize threads: Agreed...But I'll do it only once more.
2. Don't abuse, bully, deliberately insult/provoke, fight, or wish harm to any Nairaland member.: This place will be boring if we cant throw jibes sha. Most times I only come here looking for a fight.

Re: Nairalands New Rules And Regulations, Your Take? by Nobody: 11:49am On May 08, 2013
I agree with the rules but RULE 17 and 21 na no go area, Seun should redefine it because those grammers that we spoken sometimes grin are what makes this forum sweet. and like someone said earlier on Rule 17 should be: Don't post anything that could be considered offensive to any religion.

I support nos 1-6, I do not encourage e-insults, e-fights, tribal e-wars,Indecency stuff. . . but then, that's me!

@ No. 15, don't you think this is unavoidable on any public forum? Are forumites not entitled to their opinions on "your forum"? You should try checking what people are posting on other forums!

@ No. 17, how about things we christians find offensive? What kind of rules are these? Are we not all entitled to "your protection" on this forum?

LOL @ No. 21 and the "compulsory" part! I suggest you open nairaland elites' section, that might work there! Are you, Mr Seun seriously telling me you type, speak flawless, well puntuated english all the time?

Finally, the forum is your brainchild, but it survives on the membership strength. Don't send your members to other sites with your rules, abeg! This is a place where we come to relax and unwind from the pressure of work and some of us don't post comments unless prompted by topics like this!

Another thing I agree with is that the rules are too abrupt, which makes them seem dictatorial. The previous one had explanations and smileys that were very helpful and customer friendly.

akbtunes: it is interesting how a supposedly intellectual and progressive entreprenuer like Seun can come out a massive failure on the dicatorial and "cluelessness" index!!

what happened to engaging your stakeholders? are you governing toddlers here ni or what? or did you singlehandedly make NL what it is today?

what happened to being sensitive yourself in your choice of words? trying to appear apologetic to Muslims? instead i think you just brought to the fore that you are just as Islamophobic as some people

Ogagun, General Commanding Officer Seun of NL Division...take it easy o... remember Hitler, Gadaffi,Saddam and (Soon-to-be) Assad!

Shallom
even as this is a platform for us to discuss and share our thoughts on varying issues,to seun,its also a business he has the responsibility to regulate and ensure conformity to standards. Its just that some rules are unneccessary,while some should apply to all,and not subsets.

When NL wasnt popular then, ther was a kind of begging to be on the site (was younger then) Seun did 80% of the posting and 30% of comment... Most of NL pioneers wer muslim...They wer active and they wer promoted to be a MOD by seun, when the issues of
religion arises in NL, they threaten to leave NL except seun creat Muslim board exclusive for Islam. Seun is NL CE0 bt hes not the one managing it...I am stil watching NL SEASON 7. its hight time I deactivate my account here.

Don't post anything that could be
considered offensive to Islam, especially in
the muslim section.

This makes the whole thing nonsense, why should you/whoever be point out one religion amongst others for people not offend. This is an insult to other religion, especially christianity. If Seun is a muslim, fine, but you guys better re-write this in a way that is objective and meet other religions need.
You better remove that immediately.
I've seen in this NL where people make jest with, and mock the names of Jesus( The Messiah ) and Almighty God(The Most High) with impunity.
O, you think one would watch his creator mocked and keep silent, just to be a member of NL. No, I can't.
