Don't take things too personal. Jokes are cracked and sarcasm is common
But if you are personally insulted. Please use the "Report to Moderator" link.
If you keep ignoring the rules, a ban will be the consequence.

You may not bully a fellow Nairalander. This applied to old members too. Violation -> ban.


- The use of multiple accounts without explicit permission of the forum administrator(s) is prohibited

- Disturbing, disgusting, or irritating pictures are not allowed. Violation attracts a very harsh ban.
- The invasion of another user's privacy is now strictly prohibited - example: posting a lady's full name.
- Any attempt to bypass the word censor is AGAINST forum rules and will warrant a ban.
- Avoid posting using all capital letters, not only are capital letters difficult to read but they are associated with shouting and considered rude.
- Thou shalt not deliberately post false information.

PROPER ENGLISH LANGUAGE ONLY
Please use standard, proper, and clear English at all times when publicly discussing topics on the Nairaland Forum. If you must use other languages, create a special topic for that language in the culture section.

ALWAYS POST ON TOPIC
Off-topic posts will also be strictly penalized! We want our forum to be well-organized.

GOOD, DESCRIPTIVE TITLES FOR NEW THREADS
Strive to choose the best possible title for every thread. A descriptive title gives the reader user a very strong, accurate idea of what is actually being discussed without being too long. A really good title should be durable, i.e. good for several months of discussion (e.g. "Presidential Election 2007" instead of "Chris Okotie drops out of the race"wink. Don't be alarmed if a moderator modifies the title of your new thread to make it more descriptive, durable, and compact.

NO PERSONAL ATTACKS OR PUBLIC FIGHTS
Nairaland is a discussion forum, and it is inevitable that disagreements with crop up from time to time. Please be nice and respectful to other members at all times and do not resort to personal attacks, false accusations, name-calling, and other unproductive forms of communication. If you are upset with another member of the forum you must settle the fight outside the forum. You must not carry out any 'fights' on the open forum. 'Fights' are not allowed.

NO SEXUALLY EXPLICIT OR HATEFUL CONTENT
Please do not post any pictures, multimedia content, or writing that is sexually explicit (lewd, suggestive, bawdy, dirty, love-related, filthy, gross, hard core, immodest, indecent, indelicate, lascivious, licentious, naughty, obscene, off-color, pornographic, X-rated, smutty, suggestive). We will also not allow any comments that promote hatred, violence, or murder against any race, ethnic or religion group, gender, intimate orientation, person, et cetera.

PLEASE BE COOPERATIVE!
Nairaland is first of all a privately owned website, then a discussion forum. We strive to ensure that anything published on our Nairaland.com domain is up to a certain standard, and a number of times we have to use our discretion. Regardless of whether you agree with administrative decisions or not, we require you be fully cooperative with us at all times, else refrain from posting or sending messages on the site. Disputes or disagreements with the administrator(s) must be handled privately.

And the most important rule is this: don't do anything that annoys the admin. Thanks a million!
