Rossikk: This site is really going down the drain. I started a perfectly legitimate thread here yesterday about Ojukwu and whether he would have continued the war if his children were among the starving, only for the above named cretin to delete the entire thread and ban me. No explanation, no redirection, nothing. Is he saying one cannot discuss Ojukwu or Biafra on this forum? If some folks contributed to the thread with ethnic based insults why not delete their posts rather than delete the entire thread and then ban the initiator of the thread? It's the most callous, thoughtless and arbitrary decision I've ever seen on a forum. Again, who made this guy a moderator? Seun, you need to conduct IQ or aptitude tests before making anyone a mod here, or this site will lose its value. Pathetic.

Afam4eva: @OP
Like your ban message says, you got banned for fanning the embers of tribalism. We know what threads like that can turn into.

malc619:

Wrong!!

His post wasn't addressed to any tribe, it was about a person?? He didn't insult Igbos or any other tribe so wtf are you saying??

ALL threads have the potential of turning into a tribal war if Bigots are allowed to have a free time on the thread. The issue isn't about Igbos but Oju-Iku...

Are you saying one cannot discuss Oju-Iku or Awolowo on NL??

What about Tinubu, Achebe, Roaches and Fashola?? Can we discuss them as well??

Can you refer me to a rule on NL that the OP flouted in the aforementioned thread??

I see this as an abuse of power and on the part of OAM419.

Mr. Globe:

The thread was senseless and mischievous. It is classified as a troll thread and deserves to be deleted if not, nairaland will be opening its doors to more troll threads which we all are capable of creating. The op is foolish, he should worry about his father instead of ojukwu.

malc619:

Ok fool, you've been noticed.. Run along now..

Sincere 9gerian:
Though there's freedom of speech and expression of opinion but such freedom should be used RESPONSIBLY. There is ABSOLUTELY no need for such thread. This time, I commend the moderator for averting what would have been another needless e-ethnic war

Table Leg :
I think it is safe to say that 80% of the moderators on the forum are fu...cking moro..ns and idio..ts!
Sections like romance, sexuality and celebrities have fu..cking donuts moderating them ....
Only a handful of them have a brain up there .... the rest are power drunk dossers!!!
The rate at which people complain about moderating and moderators on this forum is alarming ....
The standard and quality of this forum has dropped immensely .... Its a pity


To any moderator reading, i dont care .. Ban me all you want .. I won't create a new account and i won't beg or retract my claims!

No you do not deserve a ban but education if your assessment of bad moderators is by the level of complaints against them. Moderators remove offensive, insultive posts/threads of trolls, spammers and trouble makers everyday, and many times ban them and you expect such posters not to whine and complain? Any moderator without complaint is either moderating an inactive section or not doing his/her job well. No one will moderate a public forum like Nairaland and sections like Politics and Romance you mentioned and be spared of criticism and attacks.

Freedom of expression should be used responsibly, not to insult, cause trouble or pursue a purposeless agenda. No one says Ojukwu and Awolowo cannot be discussed, but on relevant subject with the purpose of sharing opinions and education, not with the aim of causing divisions and troubles. If we allow such threads and meaningless fighting/insults running to 10-20 pages, some of you will open a thread on how Nairaland is promoting tribaslism and moderators doing nothing about it.

Moderators have rules guiding their conducts and all their actions are logged and supervised by supermoderators and Admin.

Rossikk: You are a pathetic excuse for an educated person. In fact I doubt you passed through the four walls of a university to utter this gibberish here. Who the hell are you to determine what constitutes the "right type of question to ask" about Ojukwu or the civil war? I mean is Seun reading this illiterate stuff I'm reading here? Anyway, thanks for exposing yourself here. Now formers can all see the shocking level of your intelligence, together with your partner.

OAM4J:

You are educated yet you dont know how to be civil in your conversation and control your emotions by making statements without insults. Actually am glad I remove your thread cos you obviously dont have the temperament to handle such discussion you raised.

Slow down on the insults and name calling, they are against the rules, that I ignore them till now doesnt mean they are acceptable.

Eko Ile:


Is this any different from what is going on in the thread bellow right under your nose and watch on the front page?


https://www.nairaland.com/1241988/did-obafemi-awolowo-anything-promote


Your sanctimonious concerns rings very hollow and selective still.


Prudence and consistency is one of the many god attributes of a good MOD.

OAM4J:

I agree with you. But trust me, its a tough call trying to maintain that consistency balance between sanity and free for all fights. Often times like my elders used to say, its a case of sugar mixed with farts in one mouth, you dont want to lose the sugar by spiting out fart and you dont want fart in your system by swallowing sugar. So discretion/compromise of what is most important at any giving time will be used.

Removing the link you gave will amount to another trouble since the similar one about Achebe was allowed. But I removed the one of Rosiki because It will only give birth birth to more trouble threads.

Hard, but we are trying our best to maintain that balance by removing trouble buds before they grow.
