That depends on defining the variable you termed as "things."

Truly, there are certain things that are not "proper" but we deal with them as though its of no concern because it is atypical of the Nigerian way of life. Disorganisation!


@ Concerned

This is nothing against Ikenna neither will I buff his irreconcilable aspect but there is no way to avoid this. So, I am not being biased neither are there reserved feelings.

It is difficult to say Car-Talk isn't clumsy. At the very moment, 72 sub-portal pages are present. In a month, it is unpractical to expect the number to be at 80. There is nothing wrong with the numbers being as high as mentioned but what are the statistics? A sizable portion are:

Unanswered/isolated: (https://www.nairaland.com/1375279/ford-freestyle-how-good-it).
Another portion, stale: (https://www.nairaland.com/876165/pls-advice)
Misplaced: (https://www.nairaland.com/589699/information-right-handed-hummer-hiace)
Adverts: (https://www.nairaland.com/510058/nigeria-car-manufacturer-innoson-official)
Plain repetition: (https://www.nairaland.com/553783/4cylinder-6cylinder-what-choice-car)

-- the list goes on. The links - save for the first - are old links.

I don't know the load to bear as administrator neither do I suspect it as a light thing. I believe Ikenna is doing his role within his very means. There are rooms for improvement. This also is too much for one person. From my understanding of the role of administrators, unanswered and isolated threads are usually answered by the administrator in conclusive narratives with the thread being closed/locked afterwards. Roughly about three days. Stale threads are to be deleted. It serves no purpose. The misplaced reference is where I have the biggest problem relative to this portal (i.e. Car-Talk). It is no different from Auto-Forum. No clear objectives have been defined. There are threads that are nothing but subtle advertisements. The integration is almost seamless between both portals. That leaves us with the fact that we are just deceiving ourselves. The adverts policy is not enforced. The plain repetition of thread topic cannot be denied.

Making organisation of this is too much for one person. Some threads go as long as 80 pages. This renders the valuable information in progressively-mid pages useless.

Maybe it's just me. On the other hand, I am sure others feel the same.

I think Ikenna is doing a great job out here, but I am here if you need extra hand ( a co - mod).

Siena i will love to see you moderating this section

I spend a lot of time online on a daily basis but I don't really post.... I wish to be part of the team .

As regards the issue of moderating the car section forum, I spend most of my time online and on Nairaland's Car Talk section where I have given advices, opinions, and offered solutions to peoples challenges this is a hobby I still enjoy doing. I find it as a great privilege and joy when ever I am given an oppotunity to serve in any capacity I find my self where I can share my experiences, help meet peoples needs, advice others and put smiles and satisfaction on the faces of people. I believe I have the capacity to serve as a co-moderator in car talk section of nairaland and if given such rare opportunity I will put in my best to ensure the car talk section is a section to recon with.
Thanks.
Yours faithfully,

LOMOMIKE.
