onatisii: seun this is my last advice to you.your name sounds yoruba therefore i will give u an adage,alatisi lo mo atise ara e.you must understand nairaland is not a local site ,nigerians and non nigerians from all over the world visit this site to know and learn more about nigeria.the people that visit ur site far exceed the 900000 members that are registered.and this is given ur site a bad publicity many ppl will become weary of regitering now.all this problem can die down with a simple apology to all those affected and a promise to improve ur site security and employ capable hands as mods ,but if u keep dragging this issue all these mods will spoil ur good idea.that is my advice to you

Have you not embarrassed yourself enough? Seun has done what any decent human being will do by bringing this issue open and warn people, some of you keep talking nonsense since then. Were you affected?

Seun is really nice, left for me you will not be here now chatting dust, i would have helped leave nl ages ago.

pdudy: @Seun- I as a nairaland user was very angry at the recent developments cos I was sent the mail. But in expressing my displeasure, I was banned by you and your mods (my username pDude). Is this how to run a business? Like a Nazi?

I believe r231 should be disciplined by you (if you are serious about your site) because he was very rude and abusive to me and also he was very clueless to what was happening which make him an incompetent customer service representative.
Even the one at the business section does not know the work of a moderator... That's why people get scammed on there. I wrote to Seun at his gmail account but never got a reply.

How could you be a moderator and someone is scamming and you couldnt do anything? People come on the business section and post nonsense that are of no value, everybody is a seller... But when I wrote a thread on things should be done and to show the basic rules for business which also help to educate members as a way to prevent being scammed, the mod move that thread to the advert section. But a week before that, someone called alparifx came on board claiming to have something to sell and under the watchful eyes of a mod, he scammed them.

All the mod could say is that they cant monitor all post. Really? In fact, why should there be a moderator if we already have a spam bot?

I definitely know you gonna attacked me.. what makes you think i'm a scammer?

Calling you names is a waste of time. Since you have come ac-crossed my post, have you ever see me asking pple for

business or put up my email on here for private purpose. If u follow most of my comments on here you will know that i

hardly take anything serious. I'm joking with those things bcus i know most of it thru my frnd back in aptech naija.

If i wanna scam as you prescribed, i worked for a big time company and i dey get customers details including

celebrities info every minutes. which is, if i wanna do it i would've have be a big time f**king millionaire. But i

dont bcus i strongly believed in Karma.

I don't know if the word "overlooked" is in your brain . If fools like you see the way you attacked my comments now, they will think you are saint.

I even wrote to Seun about the way the business section is being handled and I made him to understand that if things were done rightly, nairaland has the capacity to transform lives money-wise. But NEVER got a reply, not even to acknowledge that I care about the future of this forum. Tell me, he I had an idea, do you think I would want to share?

I belong to an international business forum with a population far greater than NL but hardly do you see nonsense post.

It only a matter of time before Nairaland get displaced. Go ask hi5, myspace, yahoo.

You can insult and curse the MOD as long as you want. A tru moderator must look for a way to put things in order like seun did. Not the one's here that are fulll of nepotism. shocked

But there's one proverb in yoruba that says, if you dont have a thing u can never know the value of the thing. sad

Sun of god:

Nice 'theory' . . .

Here's some of mine:

1) The email addresses were supplied by either Seun or a Mod for a fee?

2) A 'mod' has figured out seuns login (probably something like seun123 or seun419) and had captured the info?

3) GEJ ordered a 'cyber' campaign to start discrediting nairaland?

4) Seun whilst 'sleepwalking' sent the message but upon awakening has forgoten what he did whilst asleep?

5) Israel/Mossad sent an 'internet worm' to nairaland in error?








Are u being stupid on purpose?
The emails wld have been extracted using email harvesters and sending with advanced mass sender with a dedicated smtp server and u r ere ranting lyk a rabid fowl..

My guy, don't mind that mumu!!! A simple AMS can allow you to relay millions of email's using RDP which will bypass any channel to your inbox using SMTP... Only a fool will think seun supplied all info

Some users are so dogmatically biz minded, that they even display their account number on Nairaland undecided undecided undecided

Your security and safe is your personal responsibility.

My advise to Seun and Other Mods:
Please make provision for users to de-activate themselves, and get all their posts, threads etc erased.

andyanders:

What you stated above is the truth on how nairaland member's emails got compromised. Seun, the moderator can NEVER be held liable as people can use any kind "extractor"of tools to extract members emails. What Seun did by alerting members is/was the best thing to have done to members on nairaland.
So Seun, keep up your good work with your team. Long live Seun and long live Naraland members. Woe unto those people that hack these emails from nairaland.

I agree completely with andyanders. In a situation where any individual could have been responsible for carrying out a particular action as is the case here, no specific person can be accused of having performed the act.

I am certain that there must be a term that the legal luminaries use to describe the situation that we have on our hands right now. I am not a learned man, so l do not know the term. But, one thing is certain. This is a case that you cannot win even in a court of law.

The fact that the reply-to was bearing is not sufficient to accuse either Seun or his stooges of any malpractice. It is an "evidence" that any judge - even one with half a brain - would fling out through the bathroom window!

So, if anyone accuses the mods of having sold or exchanged the e-mails to spammers for some favour, then the person is only being naive and callous.
