If I am ro give a summarized update, this is how I will write it:

Note: comments are written in red.


Front end:

-Addition of like and share buttons (Also Allow us to see who liked and share our post and comments)
public display of people who like and share will not encourage stalking.

-Reducing the content displayed on home page
@urobodoski419 please give reasons

- Emojis should be updated
@urobodoski please add a file or file which contains suggested emojis

- Reduction Spam on the trending and recent pages .
We need suggestions from programmers and cyber security experts. Kindly mention @PeaceJoylove (put your moniker here

-User profile Should be updated too
@urobodoski kindlumy be specific what users can update regular on their portals

Back end:
- Improve Search algorithm
@urobodoski, please be specific how you want the search algorithm to be improved.

- Deleting of threads and comments should be added

- Saving or Pinning threads should be added
More suggestions on how users can influence which thread to be saved or pinned. And how to choose.

- private messaging. No need to email.

-Introduce the @ function like on Twitter so that if I want seun to see this post i can just @seun's moniker.
There is a mention provision in NL. @uroboski419, I think you are taking about private mentions. Please explain more

- File sending when commenting should have a little bit more features like editing for pics etc


Question & Comments
Was Python Django used to build NL? If yes, can experts come on board and contribute? If not, let's know which were used.

Any frontend expert should also help out with technical contributions. Kindly mention my moniker so I can update your suggestions.


If you can follow this format above, it will work well. All you need to do is to move it to the first post on this thread and keep updating it regularly. So that the people assigned and the owner dont need to read details. They just read your first post from time to time and they have the summarized and updated gist of what is happening here. You keep reading and keep updating that first post.

But keep it very simple.
Thank you very much for the advice , I'll do just that . It's more efficient updating the first post . I'll like to use ur format of summarizing if u don't mind

@urobodoski419

Sir, here is a suggestion:

- Users should be able to remove unwanted followers.
There are a few unwanted followers who users should be able to remove. Maybe a block button can serve the purpose.

If I can think of others, i will add here. Please, let us all come here and talk.

And a shout to a dearest friend (@Eviana), please come talk here oooo....you that is always complaining about NL and the bans bla bla bla..... This is the opportunity to make changes. Oga at the top is reading. Please, let's leave our differences aside, work with guys & gals here who have passion for NL like you have, and we can work together here. Biko...a dey beg you.

Please oga,

I understand your feeling. But trust me, solutions are what we are working on here. Kindly put down your suggestions here concerning how you want mods to operate and how they can be less biased. Give solutions sir. Let's not criticize anybody here. Biko. Na beg a dey beg sir. No need to mention anyone.

Kindly mention @urobodoski419 so he can review your suggestions. If reasonable and worthy for NL to consider implementing, he will add them to the list top oga will look into.

Eviana mon chéri, grin
Thanks for coming on board.

@urobodoski419
I guess you can see that I can mention you on NL without quoting your post..I dont even need to put @ there. I can just say urobodoski419 and you will get the mention alert. Just want to point it out to you. So, you may want to revise that point about mentioning.


Please, take note of the point I made earlier that users should be able to remove some followers or block them.


I have more suggestions sir:

1. An investigation should be carried out to see how possible mods ban users they dont agree with under disguise of spam bot. Mods should never be able to do it. Many people can testify to this. They activate spam bot and pretend they dont know about it.

2. Auto detection and deletion of porn, and auto ban of posters especially on front page news.

3. Multiple NL accounts should be discouraged. A way out is to introduce accounts verification.

4. Auto deletion of advertising posts or solicitation of fund of non verified accounts. This will curb scammers. They always have multiple accounts, but they will never want to use their verified accounts. Anyone who transact business with unverified accounts is at higher risk of being scammed. Not a guarantee to assure all that fraud will be reduced to zero, but it will go a long way.

My brother urobodoski419, please look at these points. If you have challenges in updating your first post, kindly let me know so I can assist.

- Saving or Pinning threads should be added . Thinking about this , this is similar to the follow option . However , pinning would allow users pin a specific part of the thread , not follow or get updates on the whole thread

about this one, more like collation of posts by a particular user/moniker.

Eg in iLegend's thread about crypto, if I only want to get all the posts by iLegend in that thread (to remove the distractions of other comments), there's no way to do that or if I want only the post of a helpful moniker, there's no way to get it too

Seun,

I would like to out my cents too.

I did a lot on SMF when I was choosing bb boards. I say this cos I understand SMF was the foundation of Nairaland.

I don't know your reason for not putting the inbox but I'll let it slide since I feel you may want to reduce spam, and allow approved messages. However, an inbox wouldn't hurt. Spams can still be reported.

Second, the @tag is nice. I also understand people already get notified when their username is tagged to a post. But most times, sb who bears Food may be receiving alerts on sentences not concerning them. A tag is useful. I can be discussing about another OluwaSEUN and you'll be getting notified. Bad!

Can the signature, at least, be visible to guests? Believe me, you'd be reducing unnecessary adverts!




Talking about adverts, I requested to place ads where the board has a specific amount written on it. The mail I received and the amount there was what I didn't understand. I thought I should be paying what the board says?



Third, why is there no delete button? Can we be always perfect? If the logs of what is written whether deleted or not is available to moderators, why cannot a user feel they want to delete a post?

Have you considered hashtags and strings that compile the most popular on Frontpage?

Wouldn't it be nice revamping the emoji thing? We now have a handful on our smartphones. Yours don't even pass every emotion...which is what the emoji is used for!


Have you considered adding a verified badge? It can help curb scammers!



I can really help in writing comprehensive tips and how-tos after these things are implemented!

Bro, you nailed it. I agree with you that it is advisable for @ to be included for users to get mention notification. Exactly.

Also, thank you for restating the need to verification badges.

Finally, go ahead sir and give the comprehensive tips and how-to.

Democratic moderators selection in NL in summary is what you put here. Most forums practise it. This I know. And it's TRUE, most forums experienced mods or admins turning to gods before implementation of forum democracy.

Thanks for your input.

About the how-tos, I mean volunteering to write for each feature after they are implemented so new users can read them to use them. You don't write how-tos for features in abstraction.

Moral lesson: dont ever blame the owner of NL and any mod again. Bro, this is the simplest job which can be given to the lowest mod rank. Can you see? grin Most people complaining NL is bad cannot do 0.1% of what the worst mod does.

If I have the first post, i will definitely continue it with all pleasure cos I'm passionate about Nigeria.
