what did u mean by writing only W??

Iroh88:
I think I understand Seun's sentiments. Just as the op stated, this is likely to be abused because some people might deliberately break rules so they could be sent to Jail (even the Op stated thesame in the original post). The only people I see doing such are those with multiple IDs. Some people might wanna keep tabs on what's going on in the prisons while still maintaining their freedom on the regular boards, true. But if the admin could make it possible to ban people possibly with their IPs (don't know if it is possible to "restrict" an IP to just particular places just the way IDs can be restricted) then it would serve as a deterrent to deliberately commit "felony" .

When you understand "you can't eat your cake and have it" then I don't think you would wanna deliberately break the law and go to jail. Besides, you have NO IDEA how long your sentence is gonna last!!

Descartes:


Was trying to secure a space for comment, are you a learner here?
Never judge a book by its cover

Cheers

Descartes:
This is indeed a welcome development

Also those convicted should also be give an EX-CONVICT tag on every section they found themselves

Iroh88:
Brilliant!! Maybe some Red Asterisk on their Monikers. I think this would even discourage them from breaking the law more than the simple ban as it stands today.

Enoquin:
I think it is a cool idea even that of the e-judiciary. Imagine Omenka(Op) being banned and his case taken to e-judiciary where only Barcanista and maybe Obiagelli (sorry for the mentions) are allowed as his defence lawyers. Then, the jury will consist of known partisan members or folks from religion or business section. All other comments apart from the judge, lawyers and maybe jury will be hidden. Then the jury will hand out the ban depending on the offence. Not all offences will require the jury though...

Seun:
Kudos for this hilarious idea, but some people will start deliberately breaking rules so they can be sent there. It will encourage rulebreaking.

Clinton594:


Oga seun Abeg make registration only available to those with valid phone numbers such that each account is linked to a valid number. This will reduce number of silly and useless floating accounts who stay behind the door just to do silly things here on nairaland with the mindset of easily creating a new account if eventually they get banned.
When you remember your account will be banned or blocked and that registration only accepts valid phone number... and that you can't just go and get a new simcard just to create an account. You will surely behave well and save yourself from being banned and blocked....
U think you should consider this.

nwaanambra1:


then it will not be a faceless forum anymore! then PDP will have an avenue to hunt down those who are against them! no way! that option is not acceptable!

Iroh88:
This is asking for too much.

Let's just have the Sonas, the Alcatrazes and the Kirikiris first. Let the prerogative to send people to jail remain solely in the hands of the mods.

Seun sorry to bother you, but can we have this on the fp? Sample more opinions and contributions, see if we can make something out of this. You never know.

Enoquin:


As Descartes has rightly said, Nairaland is an e-community. That an activity is happening in one section, doesn't mean, other sections are at a standstill...besides, the banned moniker is the one to seek for a trial and if it is a big offence, (s)he can get a trial with the understanding that the jury might even give him a stiffer punishment if found guilty...I know I would like to come to Nairaland e-court and watch as lawyers try without using abusive words, to get their clients punishment reduced or off the hook.
Secondly, issues of bias from mods will be reduced.

It's good thought to sample the opinion of others

Descartes:


You have said it all.

Nairaland is indeed an e-Community

Descartes:
Also, the 21 stipulated rules should be accompanied with a number of days the offender will be imprisoned not just handing a mere ban unnecessarily.

i go with this one.

I've been in a situation where a Mod banned me because the issue was sort of personal. And I was banned for two straight weeks.

Just like that

naijaboiy:

Descartes:
You are on point.

I can't wait to hire a SAN on this board and demand for compensation in Millions of Naira if banned unlawfully.

ggrin:
Awwwwwwwww!
Me and iceberylin will jus be inside the cell cage like this doing "you know"
Guess that will be my NL home cos I rate mods dash me BAN'S this days ehn especially that cool guy antispa.m bo.t
Cool kwa
Abeg no ban me o na play I dy o

unibenstudent1:
in that section they could be planning how to destroy nairaland,,

Enoquin:
Who go pay the millions, Seun? The dude would rather his dog eat up the money. No SAN oh. I was looking at it from the angle of curbing the acidity dished out whilst fighting amongst monikers. Lawyers will have to carefully word their statements same with the accused...hehehehe

Iroh88:
You have a good point. But my fear is that commuting sentences through appeal could encourage impunity on the part of members.

Besides, if the decision of the court is to be taken under advisement, who then makes the final call as to the sentencing?? Would it be through a majority vote by the jury/judges?

This idea becomes much more complex when you consider its application under the politics section. Each of the mods have their political bias and you know what that means.

So for the avoidance of such complexity, I'd rather we stuck to the status quo where banning/incarceration is at the discretion of the mods (individually).

lol...ţђāţ ķįŋd pŗįşoŋ go māķę bŗāįŋ...

çomę with CD o

These ones don mad

Enoquin:
No appeal oh. Jury makes the decision so even if you have a 'biased' mod as the judge, his/her hands are tied. The judge can only ask questions for clarification sake.
If as you claim, mods have bias, will this not be a chance for the jury to undo the unjust punishment? Anyways, it would make for interesting threads, if you are found guilty, go straight to jail...
Whenever you log in, na straight to jail till your ban expires. Issues of infinite 'banned till year 3059' bans will not crop up
Besides, some monikers would be too proud to seek a trial, they'd rather serve their jail sentence
