Dear Nairaland Users,

I am Stanley. I am available on the Social media platforms; FaceBook, Twitter and Instagram.

Let me state clearly at this point, that our internet Generation is the Information driven Generation.

Fortunately, Nairaland is in the forefront of the information drive for Africa. so what you need is a moderator that can manage the information available to all Nairaland sections on a daily basis and present it on time to the FrontPage to our teaming users for proper use.

There are several kinds of information which includes but not limited to; religious, political, technological, entertainment, sports, peoples opinion on issues, literature and so on.

I'm very active on the internet but i don't usually post. I've been an active Guest on nairaland for the past 5years. I Joined Nairaland Because i wanted the opportunity to serve as a Super-Mod. You can bank on this fact that i won't be sentimental in carrying out my activities and always give the users what they want at all times without interfering with their wishes or trying to influence their opinions.

From my view, The major challenge we have on nairaland is how to effectively regulate and transmit Relevant information Timely to the Front Page for users in a Professional manner.


As The New Nairaland Super-Moderator, These would be my approach to tackle this challenge:

1. As an addicted lover of information, i am actively subscribed to lots of information channels which gives me realtime access to lots of new stories so i get to read and see breaking news before it makes rounds. i'll be able to effectively take this news to nairaland in a timely and professional manner.

2. I'll use certain Criteria to Forward Posts to the FrontPage
Every new Information Posted on any section would be SCRUTINISED for AUTHENTICITY, UNIQUENESS, CREATIVITY, EMERGENCY and RELEVANCE.... Having passed these hurdles, i will forward it to the Front Page.

3. I'll Periodically remind us about the relevant information available in all sections through closed threads.

5. I WILL NOT BAN USERS FOR DEROGATORY COMMENTS; This is the hardest Part of the Job. I will only ban derogatory comments. I will rather be a source of motivation for them to try to be modest and thoughtful before posting derogatory words.

Seun, IT IS BETTER TO CONVINCE people to do what you want than to FORCE them.


SOME OF THE FACTORS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SLOW GROWTH OF NAIRALAND

The major reasons why nairaland isn't growing fast are as follows

1. The management of Nairaland needs Vision Driven and Passionate moderators. Some moderators lack long-term vision for the Platform and so they've engaged mostly in short term activities on the website.

2. The Nairaland Brand needs Rebranding, it is now seen in most quarters as the "mediocre's paradise". We must rebrand it to be seen as the "Information Hub" of Nigeria

3. Nairaland lacks programmes to engage its users with real life Public Figures(from any field). We can make plans to bring Influential figures to nairaland and Publicise a date where users would login to discuss, ask questions or share views with such Public Figures.

4 Nairaland Needs Non-Partisan Moderators that can effectively transmit information without Bias, Sentiments and fear of acceptance or rejection for doing his job Professionally.


I can't state all the reasons and solutions here but i know together we can create a Blueprint or master plan that can effectively Transform Nairaland into becoming the Giant it would eventually be.

I am hardworking, honest, sincere, enterprising and more passionate about leaving a positive impact in the lives of people. Working with you on this platform would definitely prove my worth.

I'm very approachable and humble, ever ready to learn and take up new tasks. i'll definitely have all the time to effectively moderate Nairaland in accordance with your vision for the platform.

Seun, thoughtfully go through my request and give it a favourable response. Nairaland will rule the world shortly. God Bless you.


Nairalanders, i want you all to thoroughly review my write-up, give me new ideas and keep informing Seun about my Passionate desire to become the Super-Mod of Nairaland.


Thank You.

Yours Sincerely,

Stanley A.

Thank You So Much coldsummer. They Believe so much in the BluePrint I guess... My Request would definitely become reality. Let's get Seun to see the Thread.

I'll definitely consider with great importance and careful considerations to make the right decisions. Thank you so much for your contribution.

I like the idea of making the ''Nigerian'' brand a strong, competitive, positive and viable as this will make every other businesses, ideas or endeavors like nairaland a success.
I guess we were too short sighted to grasp the forsight of our dearly beloved late dr. Dora akunyili.

Nigeria needs to be associated with jumia and nairaland, not yahoo yahoo boys.

Nigeria needs to be known for industries and not boko haram

Nigeria needs to be known for rule of law and true democracy not PDP..

So, my (super mod) are you an APC member?

FrancisTony:

Mtcheew! Which kain yeye vision.

Thank you so much for pointing out this crucial and controversial issue.

I believe making users understand why they should naturally stop using derogatory or provocating words will go a long way to help us to quickly stop the use of those words, because it becomes a wilful decision of every user and the culture would be passed on to newer users to adapt easily.

FrancisTony:

Yeah, You are so correct. Please join me to bring Seun's Attention to this BluePrint to Make me officially the Super Mod.

Thanks a lot.

Honestly, I have not given Political affiliation a deep thought. I am more of a technocrat that is Passionate about adding value Humanity irrespective of where i find myself.

Thank You so much for this Question, I'll consider this in years to come.

God bless you

Save for one or 2 ,your proposals are generic. The only 2 specific goals are
1) Not banning monikers but comments - Well, let's see how it works. It's a good initiative but I don't know if it is workable, especially Nairaland politics section. You might likely be overwhelmed at the number of posts and comments you will hide.

3) Inviting notable people for an interactive session - I will say that's a nice idea. Workability still remains a challenge, since this is an internet based forum. I hope you achieve this.

Others are neither here nor there? How do you intend to rebrand Nairaland? How do you intend to make Nairaland an Information Hub, when we are all aware that Nairaland only reports news from other sources?
You said Nairaland needs vision minded and passionate moderators. How are you going to see to that? You also said nairaland needs non-partisan moderators. Are you implying that some moderators are biased. How do you judge prejudice and how are you going to correct it?

I can see some passion, but you haven't done a good job of clearly defining your goals and deliverables.

My opinion!

My question for you stanley,
Do you think that you alone can moderate/check all the comment post on every topic on Nairaland even
when such topics get to the front page?

To re brand Nairaland as I always say,Seun needs to have an office with at least 10 staff where someone like
you can be the manager.

If Seun really want to step up his game he needs to stop hiding like a chicken.

Seun Osewa step up your game,you are no longer a KID.
