Democracy And Moderators On Nairaland

I am not happy with the way moderators have been chosen, especially for the politics section; the very section that has witnessed countless debates about the benefits of democracy. Most of us have at some time or the other hailed democracy as an enviable system, however, here on Nairaland we have not seen much democracy in choosing the moderators. I would have hoped Seun had allowed participants in each section to vote section moderators after he narrowed down the field to about 4 contestants. I understand that as the owner of this forum he has the prerogative to appoint anyone as moderator, but I only wished that the nearly 200,000 members of Nairaland had some say.

Who is whining? See me see otemu for hia! Na craze dey worry you. 

I'm only bringing to the fore the importance of democracy. Aren't you one of the champions of democracy? But now you can't even defend the democracy you claim to support.

You were banned for insulting someones' mother. And before I knew who you were, you had been banned at least 10 times. So, let that one rest.

   

Only a crass individual will go from thread to thread on a privately owned forum whining endlessly like a woman on PMS about the new moderator.This your obsession with Kobo is perverse.

Didn't I ask you  then to quote and show people where I insulted your mother?Silly twat,petitioning like an infant in primary school.

Oh gosh!! I keep trying to understand how someone I have never and will never meet seems to make everything about me and my life that he practically knows nothing about but assumes he has written in ink, in the palms of his hands. I was going to say this qualifies as cyber bullying only that in this case, I really pity him cause I have never met anyone who is this obsessed with someone stranger online. LMAO!!!!

At the rate you laugh your ass out, it may just fall off someday. LMAO!

Now that you have benefited from a process that did not involve one of the core elements of democracy - elections, how do you feel?

My friend,had I viewed your posts in this thread in isolation,my conclusion would have been different.However,I have seen your disturbing obsession with Kobo and this thread was merely a confirmation of it.

You didn't go around complaining when moderators were being appointed in other sections until now.


Anu mpama,the shareholders,through the instrumentality of the board,own and run the corporation.

I happen to think Seun can be an asshole sometimes but for the purposes of this forum,he is the CEO and the board rolled into one.We are mere customers and customers of corporations don't get a vote on who runs the corporation or parts of it.A shareholder is not a synonym for a  customer.

And Richy,we all know this is a red herring.The main problem is your Kobo obsession.

Look,  I already told you a long time ago, you have issues. I did not know that moderating Nairaland was through voting process. I mean if you have issues about this AS WELL, why not ask the Admin to help you out with that problem instead of taking your WHINE against me up to this level.  What is your problem with me in general?? I kill your brother or something?? Spill it out already and let us deal with this ONCE and for all. Don't you want to get this over with instead of going on and on like some nag??? Just as you doubt my gender, I do doubt you are actually a man yourself considering that you have been whining about me for months now like some scorned woman. Are you an ex galfriend of mine or something?

Are you a lesbian? 

Well, even if I'm one, there's no way I'll date your type.

I have no beef with you. Don't mind 4 Play. He's the one tat likes talking trash about people. Though you also talk a lot of trash, I have no beef with you. I'm just convinced that if the position was decided by voting, there's no way you could have got it. You're very biased, anti-Black, too pro-West, anti-Nigeria, and anti-poor nations. You're also elitist and follow no consistent logic in your discourse.

SO? Can I then take it that this is the end of this constant bickering from your side then??? If you notice, up to some minutes ago, I have not replied or posted anything about you or for you in here in over 4 months but I can pull up a log of all the posts that you have taken it on yourself to attack my person. It is almost as if you know me personally and this is you attacking me  in here without trying to deal with issues as they come. Do I take it that you are no longer going to continue with the WHINING against my person and what not ?? Do I take it that from now on you will look to minding your own life and focusing more on the topics and not my person which you have no clue of ??

If you wish to continue with the whines, I will just go back to ignoring you, nothing more but I just felt to help you out cause from my end, I see someone in need of help and I do wish I could help release you from this or something but I have to say i am powerless in that area, even as moderator.

I completely agree with Richie on this one. This is one of the most vibrant section of the Land, and a ''newcomer''  like Kobo cannot just come in here and Oga Seun will just lord him over us. Han han, this smacks of injustice of the highest order. We need to make input into who moderates us here.

And before you lot start dissing me, you should realise that I'm one of the few peeps here who is a law abiding ''citizen'' of the land. I have never been banned for anything!

So, Seun, please tell Kobo to step down until we decide who moderates us here. That's my take on this one.

I have never asked you to change your ways, heck I don't really care what you think or what ideologies you subscribe to. Fact is, I am only answering you cause now you are bickering about me being moderator and I feel to help you in anyway I can( which I seriously doubt). If you are afraid that I am going to delete your posts cause I do not share your views, you do not need to be. If you are afraid that I am going to send an email to everyone to avoid you, I will never do that.  I find it disturbing that you demand I change for you to be happier in here but I am sorry, my life is not based on your idea of me so I am sorry, I can not help you with your problems there.

Well, I asked for change on your part because you asked for change on my part. Let the status quo reign. I just wish the nearly 200,000 members on Nairaland were given the opportunity (even if limited) to decide who their section moderators would be. I'll say it again, RichyBlack has no qualms with Kobojunkie.

I thought your topic was in jest when i first came across it. . . . .Now i am not so sure

I think Kobojunkie has done a good job so far and has been gracious too. He has been a "moderate moderator". If i don't follow the rules, i expect my posts to be deleted. Let us not always be in opposition to authority.

so I'm not the only one dissatisfied.
