Hello,

When a particular user is keeps disobeying the rules and wasting the time of the moderators, the next course of action is a suspension which means you won't be able to post or send PMs for a while.

When you are suspended posting on the Nairaland Forum, you're not being punished, because you're not a child. Rather, when we suspend you, we're merely trying to reduce our workload. The administrator does not like to have to spend so many hours every day deleting and modifying posts just because some people don't want to follow our clear rules and regulations!

Our software has been updated to enable us to ban people for as little as one hour (for nairaland addicts) and as long as several weeks or months, depending on the severity of the offence.

The user suspension feature is available for a reason, and it will be used!

Thanks,
Seun.

Alright Admin, This is part of fun. Suspending will actually reduce the time i spend on here, although i ain't planning to be suspended.

It's a good and welcome initiative. I like it and keep up the good work

Its a nice idea to warn people........ but it would be better if you are told (warned) before your suspended........ am just expressing my ideas

I agree with thelastdon. Maybe give a warning first and only suspend if an infraction follows.

When you warn people, most of the time they will want to argue with you. Or Nferyn, are you volunteering to be the one in charge of warning people?

I feel it's better to give a suspension even if it's just for an hour or two. If people cannot obey the clearly written rules of the forum, they will not obey any warning. It's important to send the message that Nairaland is not a lawless land like, well, the Nigeria of the past. Now I'm sounding like a cop!

This Man Self, Every body are complaining about this your banning and unbanning, You had better do something,

I am serious about this, Please dont bann me oh!

Possibly, depends on what the specific boundaries of the moderation would be. By having 2 or 3 moderators per sub-board, you can monitor traffic (and possible violations) without too much trouble

Nferyn in charge of banning people 

What an irony.
