Poor Representation Of The Literature Section On The Frontpage. by Emzypaz(m): 12:18pm On Nov 03, 2014 |
I have been a registered member of this platform for over a year now and I strongly believe something is wrong. Sometimes last week, Seun created a thread about employing a super-moderator who will be paid and will see to bringing interesting topics from all sections to the frontpage. My question is, are there no interesting topics in the literature section? When I first joned Nairaland, on a daily basis, at least a story or two will make the frontpage but now it is not so. For the past two months, no story has graced the fp and we still have moderators here? I doubt it. My ultimate question now is, are topics being moved at random by a robot or on level of credibility and views by a moderators? You'll see topics that will make you switch off your phone on the fp. Topics like, 'which one is better? Male or female teacher?' ....Please how does that concern me? 'Dangote cement is now N1,000.' Please does that concern me in anyway. Yes, it concern some people who wants to go into a building project or the other and yes, stories from the literature section deserves to grace the front page because there are some life changing stories in this section. I want to call on the pillars of the literature section to do something about this neglect. Lets stand up to the mods, let them know we deserve representation. Myndd44 Obinnau Seun..... Do something. Ishilove Larrysun Mazi omenuko Repogirl Frank317 Orikinla and others. Lets join hands and make sure we are well represented. There is a endorsement thread which am sure is not active because other section has nothing like this. Move topics because they meet the requirements to grace the fp and not on sentiments. 5 Likes |

The problem is that no one puts up interesting topics. I think the mods are fair enough. |

There are lots of poems and stories (short ones inclusive) that can be put up too but I think the MOD feels it won't generate traffic (which I feel is one of the goals on Nairaland - to generate traffic!) But I must voice my mind.... the Poems for Review Section is as dormant as a diplomat bank account None of the topics or poem there graces the FP... This year alone, I can say that just 2 or 3 poems or topics have appeared on FP. Such a way to promote the section sha. @OP I think this Section is of no concern to Seun (this isn't the pet or politics section ) Obinnau and Myndd44 over to you. 1 Like |

If you are a regular literature section user, you'll understand what I mean. Between the period of November 2013-June 2014, you'll understand. The rate at which stories makes frontpage, even stories that are yet to start made fp then. But everything just changed all of a sudden. braine: |

Exactly me point. But I believe you and I with some other like minded people can change things. timpaker: |

Emzypaz: I'm not good at lobbying. I once suggested to the people concerned last year for a poetry contest to be put on FP but was ignored. There is another Poetry contest - a collaborative poetry contest for that matter is around the corner and I see that going the same way that of last year did. But wasn't surprised when I saw "Miss Nairaland December 2014 Contest" on FP. Na dia way jare... The best thing is just to pretend as if there is no MOD and have fun frequenting your beloved Literature Section. |

Baffles me also, for a while now topics from here haven't graced the front page, its too bad. I hope the mods responsible take note before this place becomes a shell of what it used to be. |

The literature section is an apology and a city without a ruler. I guess the mods are on sabbatical because, they no longer take derailing as an offence not to talk of moving topics to the frontpage. I hereby call on Seun, Mynd44 and Obinnau to either do something about this or...... I was left wondering when I saw the Miss Nairaland contest making the frontpage and great stories here are not close to making the fp. Even the endorsement thread created by Cuddlemi or who is no longer functioning. was it really functioning before? Myn44, Obinnau, you can do something about it. Can't you? |

Truth be told, I have not been active as I used to, due to school stuff and funding. But I plead with literature folks to pls bear with me and give me some time and things will be back to normal. Thanks. 1 Like |

Obinnau:Even with our man, Myndd44 as a supermod there has been less of our genre's topic on FP. I believe you'll act on it accordingly. Btw, longest time.... |

If there is one Nairaland mod I so much trust, his name is Obinnau. I know he will act on it. Mynd can be disappointing atimes but they are all good guys. Obinnau: |

As far as I'm concerned, Obinnau is the moderator here, not Mynd. |

Few of you would know Humbledbygrace; a wonderful writer from South Africa who has sometimes ago trod the footpath of this section with her own blend of quills. I remember quite vividly that the lovely young lady made an almost similar complaint about two rainy seasons ago; but it is safe to conclude that very little was done about the innocent lady's lamentations. And because she seemed to be the only fighter who attempted to slay these dragons of prejudice, her complaints were soon swept under the rug of oblivion. Suffice to say, the obvious neglect became the catalyst that skyrocketed her flight from this section. She has always avoided this section as a devout Isrealite would the plague of Egypt. It's so sad. Writers, good writers, are gradually deactivating their accounts for obvious reasons. With the way things are fairing, this wonderful session is losing good literati, and dancing on the pins of obscurity! I'm not writing to point fingers, for even my phalanges are circled around my faithful pens; but I'll still end this diatribe with my common mantra--When giants are toppled, what hope is there for the midgets? 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Repogirl's story has finally made the fp. The questions we should ask are will it be once in a blue moon? Weekly? Every two weeks? |

Okay repogirl's story made it. I think 7deserve it. Yes 7 cos for months now i havent seen. A story makes the readers go page by page and nt randomly like in other sections. So why not move more than 2 or 3 @ a time. This would serve well. And it will reduce Ghost-moding cos that's the very foundation of unappreciation in this Lit. Sec. Dont let potential writerd here not refer to this platform when theyve made it. Appreciate now@ Mods. |

Hello, I have something to say. Please, I feel all the stories that won awards this year should be on the front page. I mean the ones that haven't graced the front page yet. For them to win awards ought to count for something. It might not be at once but at least before the year comes to an end. My thoughts though. Thanks. 1 Like |
