Personally I think the solution lies in the hands of the mods of Romance section.
I do see people traduce a particular mod, and I have to give it to her, she is trying her best to maintain sanity here.

Too many dumb/repeated topics_ Yes, we all need the fun sometimes, but moderation is key in every: fun inclusive.

Derailers, trolls etc:-
Sorry to sound rude, the only thread you won't find derailed in Romance section is that which is above their intellect. They tactically avoid such threads. In the absence of that, give them 5minutes and they turn that thread to a sumo-wrestling ground for throwing e-tantrums or better still, a whatsapp group where they chat.

This still falls back to the mods.
In all, the change we need starts from every single person.

I believe the reason for this thread is to:



1. Identify the incessant issues we've been experiencing, especially in kinds of threads being created these days.

2.If possible, mention the names of those monikers responsible.

3. Profer reasonable solutions and also resolve (in alliance with the mods in this section) to "Lock" any of the threads contravening NL rules- THIS DEPENDS.


My suggestion:


- Let's set up an in-house disciplinary team (APART FROM OUR ABLE MODS here present). What do I mean? I noticed, Naijaboiy always caution folks when they type with LARGE fonts. This he does on his own accord- He is upholding the rules of NL. This team will ensure any NL who chooses to be a TROLL, RULE BREAKER gets what he or she deserve by alerting the mods in charge.




For now...

You guys jump on a thread, mention each other's usernames and voila, your crew appear and massively derail the thread rendering it useless for other users who have to wade through tons of chit chat in order make sense of the thread.

I don't think anyone needs a warning before a ban is given. If he/she is wise to heed to warnings, he/she should be wise to know what can lead to a ban. Further procrastination of bans give rise to " iberibelism"(pardon my use of vernacular) of some Nairalanders. Austerity measures should be adopted sometimes.

This section was so much fun(tho m more of a spectator anyway) what killed it was excess rules when mr sexkills took over and ran the agberos off with his bans grin. Those e-fights were the bomb... you'll just hold your phone and be reading line after line(making sure you aint missing any insult) like it's a movie... cheesy cheesy

Even then, we had kul things like the debates(which will make sense now coz we have interesting newbies who make allota noise wink... put the excess energy to work...) and the end of year "meet the romancelanders" or something hosted by 190 that died off as well.

Uhm... the mr n miss nl made rounds too... now, people are showing less interest coz of the negativity, insensitivity and hate some arses exibit here now (tho I'm not following this time so this is from the last one).

What's dragging the section behind? Just cry babies and e-bulies. I remember a time when I didn't need to curse at anybody but now? I open a thread and almost feel like typing up an army of curse words. Lol... for the same reason I don't find it as fun to even be the spectator sef n just roll in when I have absolutely nothing to do coz its all now extremely predictable...

If it's not a list, it's girl bashing, or "see my pic/pic of my girl" or "put up your pic"...

I commend all those who take out time to create topics here tho unlike my lazy behind wink but be more creative tongue

And uhm shout out to slimyem, idowu, hottietima, rokiatu(she's now calm sef... her body is now speaking grin), old sexkills(pre-mod), 190, itsmodella n all them oldies the made rounds...

~ Things can never be like before. Take it or leave it. The generation of oldies has passed, this is the jet age. the computer age and the influx of teens in this sect is greater than before and would continue to increase yearly due to easy access to the web, so the talks about Kidults is irrelevant. If you feel you're a buzz kill and the most mature adult here, you can always navigate yourself to the Family section and enjoy your boredom there... Its not that hard to do.


~ Indiscriminate banning of monikers: Mods should stop being Fun-killers by banning monikers without even giving a second thought. This is not your site and the more you ban, the more disinterested the people that werr banned get .
I'm not saying you can't ban but give warnings and make it 2 hours/3 hours ban not 4 days ban or 5 ... That ssshit is so lame.


~ Lack of brain tasking/Creative threads/ Articles/ and Write-ups : The only one that's still a lil' bit appealing is the wooing thingy. At least we still racked our brains to formulate lines, save for some people that went to steal lines from Google grin .
asides that, there are no intellectual threads or write ups .. No stories...nothing..
Just pictures of either Yemi Alade's wrinkled Ass or Amber Rose's slacked bottom .. ..Farano is guilty of this ...

~ Trolling - A user has told you to stop mentioning him/her yet you follow him/her to every thread to starte trouble and derail the thread. Can't you gain some dignity and stay on your lane?


~ Absence of general chat-room - The only one created was the derailers lounge and it doesn't cut it. A general thread should be created for romancelanders to chat, joke, share problems and challenges etc

~ Gang/ Frat/ Crew : I've noticed everybody has their own particular crew or group or should I say fraternity.
Ibrahim only chats with Nneji and Tope and vice versa. And Tope doesn't chat or contribute to any thing in the sect. unless Nneji or Ibrahim is around . That sshit is so retardedd and childish. If you cannot mix well and you're not socially free in the real world, you don't have to also be like that on the internet. why can't everyone relate with each other and catch fun instead of only discussing with some particular set of people and making everything so stale, uninteresting and boring ... ..

First of all, all of you old timers clamoring for change, I have a question for you.
~ What do you want to revive. Is it the "fun" or the "sanity"
We have to get this straight because as far as I am concerned, "fun" is in a lot of ways a product of insanity/craziness.
The immature display you all are talking about is actually what makes this place "fun" for a lot of people.
I can give you proof of this assertion.

Everyone would agree with me that a way of measuring the degree of interest a particular thread garners, is by observing the traffic it garners.

Whenever those so called attention seeking, ass-licking threads are created, you find out that they are the ones that garner more traffic. You see it adding pages and pages and pages of controversy.

Funny enough, all you all old-timers still stay on the thread till maybe it becomes so controversial and insults are flying right, left and centre and one mod decides to thrown it into the recycle bin.
None one says anything opposing, you just stay and enjoy the thread.

********************

Now if the case of bringing back sanity and that state of maturity to the section, a lot has to be done.

First of all the mods have a huge part to play in this
I think the mods should ban anyone who breaks any of the Nairaland rules, "STATING THE ACTUAL REASON FOR THEIR BAN"
I think sexkillz was one mod that did this.
He would ban you and tell you the particular reason for your ban.
I have seen most people in most cases complain that they don't know the reason for their ban.
How do you expect someone to make corrections when you don't categorically state the crime the person committed?

Another point I would like to touch on is the high level of biasness I have noticed on this section.
Sorry If I may sound rude but it seems some super mods are partial in updating the home page with topics from romance section.

Most times you see topics that aren't really front page worthy get moved to the homepage just because the person that created the thread is a popular/respected member of the romance section.
You see intelligent threads ignored probably because the person in "unknown to everyone or the person didn't tag a mod.

Yesterday, I was surprised when I saw a thread make front page few minutes after it was created.
It was like the super-mod or whoever moved the thread to the homepage was waiting for the topic to be created.
And this isn't the first time I have noticed this.
Even lalasticlala's front page bound threads take more time before he moves them to the home page.

This is total bullshit in my opinion and it too as large extent discourages intelligent folks from creating threads here.

Still on this, I have also noticed that the traffic a thread garners Is hugely dependent on whoever creates the thread.
A popular member creates a thread and everyone just rushes in like the person is giving free recharge cards, while meaningful and educative threads of those that aren't all that popular, get washed down the drain.

People need to stop all this _ass-licking, sycophantic approach to things on this section

You know, I believe in CHANGE (not the APC kind).

What I mean is: The very best way to stresslessly make people see what you are trying to say is, BE THE CHANGE!

OK, the monikers that we refer to as "attention seekers" and all, are there and will remain so simply because we are crying from afar, "THE ROMANCE SECTION NEEDS RESUSCITATION" and we are doing just that.





The best way to create a change is to be the change. They say, Be The Change You Want To See.

My Point: Let's quit complaining how "this and that" are fond of creating immature threads and how the "olden" days are better than today, which the bible terms unwise (Eccl. 7:10).


Let's get to e-work and be creative. Create the threads you want to see make frontpage and others will quickly ignore those "trolls".

Evil continue when good men "DO" nothing, NOT "Say" nothing.

Each time I read comments where monikers are blaming derailers and trolls about this issue I actually smile!.

But please permit me to say this: this cacophony of complaints will only get worse. For me, this whole brouhaha started when students, that is secondary school students and those still in the university started plaguing Nairaland when they should be busy studying their books!.

You find that majority of the monikers who are mostly active here on this Romance section are mainly what I mentioned above. And to even make matters worse you will see many of them, who have often told us that they're virgins start giving advice on sex and how to have and enjoy it (by opening threads) when they know little or nothing about it. You'll even notice that whenever a moniker open a thread about marital problems this same set of monikers are the ones who will also start giving narrow minded advice. And to even think that some monikers actually listen to them is jaw gapping!.

I tell you guys this, as at the time when BIS was still 5000 Naira and curve 2 was 30,000 Naira who born monkey to come dey troll, derail and give narrow minded opinions for Nairaland.

In as much as there are no age restrictions barring anyone from joining this forum, this will only get worse to the point that it will be as normal as seeing white clouds in the sky, because I for one know a 12 year old who is a Nairalander!

So my people, my advice is to just let things flows after all Seun is not complaining because his pocket has a smile as wide as West Africa to East Africa.
