Hi Everyone,
This is actually my first topic since i've been using Nairaland. I find this website a very interesting,entertaining and interactive one.
Here's just a few suggestion i feel Nairaland.com authors should include to make this forum a better experience.

1. Include a dislike button.
When someone writes something nice, it is common for us to click on like showing our consent and approval of the person's view/opinion.
But wouldn't it be nice also for us to be able to show our frown and disapproval to some very improper comments? like the constant Tribal issues, END TIME DISEASE and misplaced advertisement.
This way, there would be no need to "quote" a person's whole comment and use abusive words just to let them know we disapprove of their view/opinion. Instead we just click the dislike button.
Furthermore, this action will help to reduce the MOD's constant work of searching and hiding posts. Simply automate it such that if a person's dislike becomes too much, the comment is automatically hidden.

2. 'Quote' notification.
Just like we are notified when someone likes our post. It will also be nice to be notified via our login page when someone quotes our comment. This is because anyone quoting you obviously needs your attention to either answer a question or make your points clearer or simply just disapproving or agreeing to whatever it is you may have said.
Also, it will be nice to know who "liked" your comment.(This may not totally be important)

3. Banning.
Banning a person's username is a total waste of time. He/she simply creates another. Nairaland is a free website. My suggestion, why not bann and add the person's IP to a blacklist table. If that is not effective, can you also use cookies to identify a previous offender ?


This will be all for now. Please add your own contributions and suggestions. Let's hope someone works on them.

dude, this site is not near perfection.
A suggestion is not a must to implement. Giving everyone a chance to let you know what they want from you is good for the growth of any business..
As for me, i do not really support the idea of a new look (With graphics and all) this will drag the speed cos of time needed to load all the graphics should they change css n look.

All i am asking only takes a few PHP if statements, perhaps a new mysql table or row. THAT'S ALL.
