Why Does Nairaland Have Such A Bad Reputation Offline? by ClintonNzedimma(m): 9:22pm On Oct 25, 2014
Have you ever had a conversation with your friend about a nairaland thread you saw on front page and your friend will be like "Who takes that website seriously?" or "That lie lie website" or "You have come again" and so on.
Its so embarrassing.
Some of my friends even mock me.
Any nairalander with similar experience?

Certainly not. I have/get a different opinion from the people I discuss NL with.
Asides the insults and childish behaviour of some users, NL is a great forum.
Very useful information on almost ANY thing you want to know, good people who have intelligent conversations etc

NL is a good forum, no doubt. However, I think it doesn't have a good reputation offline (not all the time)...especially when mails were circulated in my place of work warning members of staff to be careful of information on NL.

No I don't. But I've read too many false news on NL especially on front page. Also we had a career development training session recently and the speaker said, "Some of you don't even value your time. You waste precious time on 2go and Nairaland, Haven for kids." Chai! The thing pain me o make I no lie.

Nairaland is a very good sites, one thing we should know is that there's no way we can curb indiscipline especially in a free site like this where people are given opportunities to create threads, comment and pour out all sort of doubts

Concerning the reputation stuff=»
It's of no doubt thay our MODS are rili doin a great job but the only flaw which I detest is Front page topics because I knw it is their duty

One thing I would say is, FP is the centre of the site which viewers will use to judge the site even without opening other sessions to knw what's in there.

I remember when I was still a guest, I didn't even need to register cos the FP alone is all you need but now unworthy topics are now making FP which is somehow making the site lose its glory

Seun pls I am not to telling you what to do but pls you have to really look into this issue and resolve it and soon as possible
