You see vision pass T.B Joshua sef.
Your mission can never be impossible.

Nice proposition... if you actually get this job...it'll be a landmark achievement for Seun.

Mixty:
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.

Thank You so much for your Comment.

Your Question is a very vital one and i will give you a good answer. i believe as a Super-Mod, you would be working with a Team of Mods to make the Job fun, Quick and efficient in order to tackle issues effectively and Professionally.

Guy,you need to be working with physical mods not virtual mods.Take a cue from yahoonews,they started somewhere.

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.


Everyone feel free to ask me questions here or at your convenience on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram @stanadeniyi

Demdem:


I am demdem. Most times u will find me here in politics section. I have no other reason to be here apart from this section.
Just three questions sir.
1) How old are u?
2) What is ur political inclination. Specifically, we know the Admin is for Jonathan while many of ur co super mods are for the drunkard also. Will like to know if u are for the killer party or not.
This will help me to understand u better.
3) I get banned for no just cause, how do u intend reversing this injustice against me.

ITbomb:
If Seun ban me, how do I get in contact with you

satley:


Thanks for your comments and I'll answer your Questions right away

1. I would prefer a Confidential reply to this Particular Question. I definitely look younger than my age.

2. Honestly, I have not given Political affiliation a deep thought. I am more of a technocrat that is Passionate about adding value to Humanity irrespective of where i find myself, I'll consider this question in years to come.

3. The moment Seun makes me the Official Super-Mod, I'll definitely ensure we phase out the idea of banning users. This doesn't imply freedom to misuse words on this platform. We'll convince users overtime to become more disciplined with their comments willingly.

Demdem:



Am ok with 1 and 2 but need clarification for 3.
What do u mean by no freedom to misuse words? Who determines if a word is misused or not? As long as rules of the site aren't broken, can we say any word can really be misused?
I agree with the banning stuff, it's childish. I dream of a new NL that Demdem won't be banned.

satley:


Thanks for the quick reply,

Misusing words in the Nairaland Context is simply using "Universally accepted Derogatory Terms to fellow Humans". We would continue to Ban such "Comments" while we consistently encourage people to be more Responsible and consider People's feelings in their Choice of words in order not to incite negative Emotions of any kind.

brownlord:


You don't deserve a ban by now, your techno phone you use in posting rubbish here should be seized and destroyed by now and you seriously beaten for the stupidity you display here daily

Satley, i introduce to u brownfool. He is a Jonathan cocck sucker. Very useless thing among a lot.
How will u get these fools off my back from this section?

Demdem:

Demdem:


When u say fellow humans does it include the animals that are privileged to be our leaders.
What do u mean by universally accepted Derogatory Terms? Where is that recorded? Is there a reference book for this? What is derogatory to u may not be to me. Who determines this?
Satley, ur appointment if it comes to past go get K-leg ooo

aresa:


Banning people based on whatever manner they desire to express themselves makes no sense? Who determines and quantifies whats derogatory and acceptable or not. What's derogatory to you is not to the next man.

These are the kind of stifling practices crippling NL. You can not be everybody's mama and papa on the internet, if people are too sensitive and can not stand internet back n forth, let them log off and go to Disney land website.

Even such bans and actions disrupts the flow of meaningful conversation and ideas.

SPAMBOTS is another needless impediment that curtails participation and free flow of ideas. This is a discussion forum and we should be able to post links to support and validate the views we share without getting knocked off the site for days. Seriously, how do you grow this site and and encourage participation by banning with SPAMBOTS.

To make matter worse, the mods ignore you and play dumb when you send them message to restore your account after SPAMBOT attack..

Also, NL is too saturated with trolls with nothing better to do but troll around and derail threads all over the place. Trolls are thread killers and they devalue threads and even NL itself.

Anyways, we've raised the same issues a million times and the last time I did, I was banned so of what use and relevance is this redundant exercise?
