Seun, I hope you guys are coming up with updates and more features.
Bro, many people have been giving suggestions and also complaining about various issues on Nairaland, but you have been slow to act or totally unresponsive

I first registered on Nairaland in 2006, but I had issues with the first account, this is my second account.
I know there have been lots of changes, but more is yet to be done..
For example, this minor change/updates should be made:
1) we need more Smileys, the ones available are not enough, we need much more to make conversation more fun.

2) People have complained about the outlook of this Forum as being too dull, but I know you also explained why it is so, you gave reasons like : consumes lower data, takes less time in loading, etc. Which is okay.
But I believe many people have sufficient data to open one of their Favorite website (Nairaland.com)

3) Many people are not happy over the Muslims/Christian issue. You locked Muslim section, people must swear before the can comment, but any riff raff can come to Christian section and insult their religious beliefs, this is not fair.

I hope you know the Population of Christians on this Forum is almost double the population of any other religious belief or group (Muslims, African tradition, Atheist etc)

So I keep wondering what exactly you're doing , who are your target population.
In fact, Christians should be given preference in this regard. If you understand BUSINESS.

You have come up with Numerous explanations to justify your decision, but it still does not justify locking up Muslim section and opening Christian threads for everyone to insult. NOT GOOD AT ALL.

AND Probably a Muslim is the moderator of the whole Religion section.

One thing about you which I DON'T admire is your strong will and stance on very serious issues, you always refuse to make any amends.
People will say after all, it is your own Forum.
But I will ask you a question, do you want people to view Nairaland as Seun's property or a Global international online community

Take a look at Facebook, snapchat, reddit, Craigslist etc, the owners of this site don't force their personal idealogies on the features of their websites.

You must learn to adjust and respond to an ever changing environment.
I know you are aware that many people have started their own forum from the ideas raised on this site, some even have a clone of this Forum, just with very little difference and Guess what, some have started getting serious Views and comments.

Don't feel you're unbeatable or invincible. Nokia collapsed at a time, Coca-Cola despite its popularity and market value always spend Millions of dollars in advertisements, promotions and rolling out new features regularly.
Seun don't be dormant or too rigid.

I'm not an IT guru or a Computer professional, but I know that this Nairaland needs a lot of new features and improvements.
Your adverts placement have even dropped drastically , I see empty slots more often than before.
Why not, when
Threads are carelessly derailed, mods are probably trying their best, but the are either very small or don't have the required capacity to handle the issues in Nairaland.
People can moderate on a part time basis, you don't need to pay much, some can volunteer to do it FREE.

Almost all threads go tribal. AFONJA vs IPOB, we are getting tired of this.
I know many people who don't read Nairaland again because of the Tribal Bigotry on Nairaland, the large number of trolls.

4. Nairaland should have a feature that enables a member to block another member just like every other social media, some people keep trolling other people, even when the get a ban, the will open another moniker and continue their stupidity.

5) People should be able to delete their previous comments.

All this suggestions are out of the love we have for Nairaland, not that we are against you.
We want Nairaland to be much more better

Pls our concerns actually differ for the interest of this section, we are mostly interested in Programming issues, but i understand your plight

Seun:
Who would be the best moderator for this section? Who is interested? Someone who has always respected the rules, has the time, etc.

SetrakusRa:


Sir, the state of this board is bad, very bad. I've tried mailing the mods but no response.

There should be no whatsapp groups, ponzi script sales (maybe another board for them?) or threads not relating to Programming. And, kindly remove those mods who ain't active and appoint better ones. They're killing this board!

Please, resolve this quickly. Some of us still want to talk about programming, not the afonja, ashawo and other trends on NL. Thanks

stealthtiger:


Exactly.
Things that do not pertain to what this section stands for shouldn't be condoned. I'm very sure that what's going on here isn't was Seun planned.

As a matter of fact Mr. Seun nairalands programming section even nairaland as a whole is in a statement of emergency.

The mods are not doing their jobs therefore they need to be relieved of their duties. Then let someone who knows what it takes and is in tune with the philosophy of the section moderate.

If nothing is done. Nairaland might just fully become a shadow itself that it becomes filled with bad posts.

I think this is the last opportunity Seun has to bring sanity here, now that people are talking.
