Concerning The Controversial "New" Rules Of Nairaland by Seun(m): 6:46am On May 09, 2013 |
My Fellow Nairaland Members, Your mixed reactions to the "new" rules have not gone unnoticed. While most people actually liked them, many people had one complaint or the other. To address your concerns, I have modified rules 1,4, 13, 15, and 21. I believe you will be pleased with the changes: https://www.nairaland.com/1026/nairaland-forum-rules-regulations These rules are not as new as many people think. They are essentially the rules we have been enforcing all along, but they have been expressed in a more compact form to encourage you to actually read them. I created the 1st draft on the 7th of April and my fellow moderators gave me a lot of feedback which I incorporated into the rules before publishing them yesterday. [s]Rule 17 is the most controversial rule because it sounds unfair. My fellow moderators have debated this rule at length and it could not be changed. We cannot extend the prohibition against offence to other religions because that limits your freedom of speech, and we cannot remove that rule without jeopardizing security and the safety of lives. Sorry about this.[/s] Please see this: https://www.nairaland.com/1284692/striking-down-rule-17 Best regards, Seun Osewa. 5 Likes 1 Share |

17. Don't post anything that could be considered offensive to Islam, especially in the muslim section. How about effecting this rule on all religions especially Christianity? I'm so disappointed in you Seun 74 Likes |

Nairaland is slowly becoming an Fully Academic Forum. If these rules had been enforced strictly in the past, I can assure you Nairaland wouldn't have had as many members as it has today. Most people come here to have fun and not necessarily to debate, argue or proffer solutions to Nigeria's unending problems. I'm still offended by rule 17 as it makes me understand that other religions can be freely insulted except Islam. Also rule 21 implies that poorly educated people will be banned from this forum. Meanwhile you could also insert an unregister button for those people who may want to opt out of this New Rigid Institution. 93 Likes |

Seun: My Fellow Nairaland Members,So freedom of speech equals bash christianity? So freedom of speech does not extend to Islam but it extends to Christianity? So people are free to blaspheme and make a mockery of christianity all in the bloody name of freedom of speech? I am deeply offended by this Seun, and your curt 'sorry' does not change the fact that you are dishearteningly biased. 83 Likes |

Sorry about this.Lol, you trying to be coçky? Prohibition against offense to islam doesn't limit our freedom of speech? It's rather unfortunate that you got intimidated by muslims violence. Oya Seun, tell us the truth. Me thinks there's a fatwa hanging over your head. 36 Likes |

Seun: Seun making very poor excuses for rule 17 It's alright to diss other religions- But Islam? There are security concerns... Security concerns to who Seun? "What's behind those Ray Bans? Eyes of a Coward, I understand" 13 Likes |

I guess rule 17 is about giving atheists the opportunity to dig it out with Christians. More traffic things. Please let's know the penalty for breaking each of the rules, so your dictator mods don't capitalize on it and ban us till 2050 17 Likes |
