My Fellow Nairalanders, i greet you. As we all know, Nairaland is a place where Nigerians, both home and abroad congregate to discuss issues pertaining to Nigeria and also transact business. I know that some people also use Nairaland as there source of news or information; and i must say that i have benefited immensely from this forum. However, i have observed that some bad eggs are hell bent on ruining the flow of this forum by introducing some really bad attitude. Below are some bad trends that is growing on Nairaland, and to be sincere with you; such trends discourage me from posting a comment since i access NL from my mobile phone most times. Please let's join hands to stop or regulate this attitude. Moderators, take note.

1. How does this affect the price of.......: Sometimes, you will find a thread with an interesting topic and useful contributions from people. And suddenly, somebody pops up, quoting the entire OP information only for him/her to ask: How does this affect the price of........? Seriously, it's annoying.

2. What is or Who is........? As an instance, consider a thread flowing with discussions about Sanusi Lamido's new CBN policy; and suddenly, somebody pops up, quote the entire OP comment and ask the infamous question:....Who is Sanusi Lamido? Or What is CBN? This particular one puts me off.

3. And finally, the latest most annoying and fastest growing trend of the month........Op post some great information and then you start seeing things like ......"First to comment...Thank God".....or Second to comment. And i begin to wonder, since when did Nairaland become a competition of fastest finger first? The last time i checked, Seun has not instituted any award or recognition for first posters or whatsoever.

Please my fellow Nl users, what do you think of these issues i raised. Have you identified any growing trend on NL that's annoying? Then let's help the Mods identify it and take action.

I am guilty of 2 and 3. It is so classic.

Mynd_44: I am guilty of 2 and 3. It is so classic.

It is so classic to you but seriously, it puts off a silent majority.

What would you do?

Ok. Those found guilty of these annoying act will be sent to nairaland recycle bin till further notice

Una be fool: Ok. Those found guilty of these annoying act will be sent to nairaland recycle bin till further notice

I am guilty and I know it

I think 'how does it affect the price...' Was funny but now due to glut its getting boring.
'What is CBN' I believe is for fun and is still funny. It eases tension
'First to comment' and stuff actually seems childish to me..and shows to a great extent that the person is jobless.
But hey, my opinion though...I recognise nairaland has about a million users so why would I let such stuff bother me?

Its all about fun na

Well, from the few comments received, it seems majority are in support of the act......... I hereby rest my case.

Na fashion.

Garri is over, first to comment is over, likewise the end time thing crew are no longer posting that.


Now its just attack command.

I think they are trying to destroy the site because " their favorites" are gone.

Good luck with that, we'll see how it goes.

Dem too can carry nl for head sha, people really need to get a life.
