are you brining back 'post replying yours' or what do you call it for tracking post you are involved in

I think its very useful, I know it had some problems before but you should bring it back, I noticed most threads don't last long as they should because most people can't find/reply to comments

you can have a poll to see what other users think

cheers

the loss of that function and the incessant banning is gradually killing interest in the forum. Forget the number of people who log on everyday . . . it is clear that participation is dwindling gradually.

that's what u get when one person feels/thinks he/she can do it all.

like a company with an employee strength of 5000 and only one person as the M.D, same person as the G.M, same person as the A.G.M, same person as the Chief Accountant, same person as the Accountant, same person as the Chief Security, same person as the Head GateMan, good grief am i getting insane?!

Oh shut up. I have statistics to tell me whether or not participation is "dwindling", but participation isn't my only measure of success. I am more proud of the fact that we have not been condemned in the media for a while.

He needs to participate in existing topics before he can start posting new ones!

It depends on what you're goals are. I'm more concerned about not losing money. Hiring moderators might make the forum a little bit cleaner, but I have to pay for an office, computers for the moderator, Internet access, a generator and an inverter, etc, as well as security for all these items. And then I'll have to moderate the moderators. Business-wise I am not convinced that the investment in all that would be a sound one. That is why I'm still doing it alone.

The costs are lower if I hire moderators based abroad, but they expect to earn more money. For example, I can hire a European moderator for an amount which is exorbitant when converted to naira. It's not even going to be a full time moderator. Let's say I decide to make the sacrifice and part with the money, will the moderator generate 700 euros in additional revenue? That is the big question.

You are concerned about your enjoyment of the forum. I understand. But at the end of the day, someone has got to pay the bills. And that someone is is not convinced that getting moderators is a wise step at the moment.
Re: Nairaland Admin Questions and Answers by Nobody: 8:39pm On Jan 10, 2008
Seun, you have to pay moderators??

No one over here does! I'm on several Audi / Volkswagen forums here, and some of my friends are moderators. They don't get paid either! shocked
Re: Nairaland Admin Questions and Answers by Dreloaded(f): 8:45pm On Jan 10, 2008
Lol moderators are usually people who are already using the board

You dont need to PAY anyone anything. You decide on those who seem sane, never get into trouble and always the peackmaker like debosky, akolawole, etc. They work from home on their own, you dont provide anything for them exceopt special access to certain forum functions but YES you have to oversee the moderators.
Re: Nairaland Admin Questions and Answers by DualCore1: 8:46am On Jan 11, 2008
cry i'm a Mod in an international forum, geeee i didn't know i'm supposed to get paid! angry those cheats, lol!
they ain't cheats, just kidding.
mods are ur friends who wonno help u man, it doesn't have to be official at all. in another forum where ma lil bro just became a junior mod, the junior and senior mods just help out in specific sections while the admins are the decision makers there.

Seun, it always pisses me off when i see u talk about the fact that u havnt seen anyone capable of modding here, geeez there are enough guyz. Nairaland has gotten to the stage where it should have Admins and Mods. Honestly this is the first time i'm hearing of Mods at this level getting paid. Mods who should get paid are Mods on Forums like phpBB, SMF, Yahoo, Microsoft. those are mega money-making groups not Nairaland.

And u were talking about providing computers and 24/7 internet access and power. Seun, u don't have to provide jack for the Mod. the mod should take care of how he'll be online by himself.

P.S: See see, that one day ban you put on my id i don't understand o. next time tell me how far before u resort to banning. angry
Re: Nairaland Admin Questions and Answers by Dreloaded(f): 3:09pm On Jan 11, 2008
at least he tells YOU how long you're banned. He tends to favor some over others.

Yeah I moderate for free.
Re: Nairaland Admin Questions and Answers by DisGuy: 4:59am On Jan 12, 2008
I thought he said he ain't bring the forum back until he gets a moderator

As you can see you don't have to pay people to moderate a forum,
if your are thinking they won't do a good job because you are not paying,
you supervise/advice or rotate them

community ownership is the way to go wink
Re: Nairaland Admin Questions and Answers by Seun(m): 6:02pm On Jan 12, 2008
If I don't pay them, the moderators won't do what I need them to do.

Seun:

Seun, you say that. But, what exactly do you want your moderators to do?

Spell it out, give someone a try, and if it doesn't work out, then strip him / her of the role!

Untill you try, you'll never know, will you?
Re: Nairaland Admin Questions and Answers by DisGuy: 5:49am On Jan 14, 2008

if they don't then you do it, you are also an admin, if one person miss something you get on it-no hard feelings
that's what our politician call oversight functions grin
Re: Nairaland Admin Questions and Answers by eldee(m): 8:41am On Mar 08, 2008
1. Why is there no action when I click on the 'report this user' link in the whole forum?

2. Why do you get punished for sumn when you're in the romance section and you go scot free when you do the same thing in sum other section?

3. Why can't some specialist section like the'Computers' and 'Rap Battle' section have a special moderator, nominated by fellow members there, cus it's obvious only sumone in the business can handle offences that don't apply everywhere. They don't have to necessarily possess the right to ban but they could report to you with their own opinions accepted.

4. Why can't we have a special child board under 'Education' like a Science section where you can drop information, help people that need help in sum areas, educate people on what you know and not have adverts for JAMB everywhere?
Re: Nairaland Admin Questions and Answers by Nobody: 12:26am On Mar 09, 2008
continuing eldee's questions:

5. why can't you unban his step-sister, toyinrayo? she's been wonderful lately
Re: Nairaland Admin Questions and Answers by FLOWSHOW: 8:39am On Mar 11, 2008
@seun
is it possible to ban someone that has 2 ids? eldee is the same person as elderz. he created elderz when u banned him , or is dual ids not a crime in nairaland?

this question is directed at seun only.
Re: Nairaland Admin Questions and Answers by maybelle: 7:40pm On Apr 18, 2008

@bakre

It is your JOB/RESPONSIBLE to create a new thread on EDUCATION SECTION to make announcement about CFA exam information with the provided link. Not Seun's job!!!

We do not know about CFA, not our field to study for!!!
Re: Nairaland Admin Questions and Answers by Aladunni(f): 2:54pm On Apr 21, 2008
Please why this discrepancy in the orginal number of posts and what appears beside one's ID.

Since it looks like any poster below hundred doesnt deserve an answer to questions or opinions respected because he/she is considered "faceless".

Please Seun can you explain that to me. Since i have 102 posts and what appears here is 87
Re: Nairaland Admin Questions and Answers by tpia: 8:52pm On Apr 21, 2008
some of these moderators seem to be out looking for fights, unecessarily. They appear too thin skinned and unable to see things from an impartial viewpoint. Neither can they take a joke, in spite of their claiming the contrary.

Example:

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?topic=128329.msg2177799#msg2177799

the relevant posts have been deleted, so let me paste his response here:


SAM MILLA:

@TIPA or whatever u are,
i have discovered that each time you show up here,
its to pick fights and cause troubles.
if you have any trouble with me,
lets discuss it outside the thread.
YIM me at misolar24@yahoo.com.
The next time i see your post pointing negative fingers on any member of this section,
i will delete it without explanation.
I would have refered you to the rules but you are not new here.
People are having fun here,
join them or move to another sections where more serious topics are discussed.
I will be waiting, let me also remind you that any other personal attack on me.
on this section will tempt me to flex my muscles.
i prefer italics
and thats as far as i can explain.
if u can't read it, jump it sad sad sad

which was a response to my post here:

sam milla, is there any way you can post in some other font besides italics.



scopium's own is different, and has a different effect.


this one makes it seem like you're whispering.

just thought i'd mention it.

In your own words, thanks for understanding

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?topic=128329.msg2177196#msg2177196

sam milla went ahead and deleted other people's comments on these threats he's making. As usual.


not the first time this sam milla person and his friends will attack me for daring to post in his forum section, much to my surprise. I posted in that section before he became a moderator, without any problems. Now its quite the opposite.

Them get copyright for the site or what? When a moderator takes it upon himself to threaten others on the site, and encourages his friends to do the same, we will have to wait and see what happens then.

here's another curious zinger from one of sam milla's pals in that section:
