Nairaland Rules and Regulations

Hello moderator,
I was surprised yesterday that you misrepresented my view in my post due to your "moderation". I wrote "Mo, " in my post and you changed it to "The great Prophet". i went back to change it to "Prophet M, but you changed it again to "The great Prophet" . So my question is this: is it wrong for me to mention that name "M, or to write it? Is that not what he was called when he was living? Or why did you call him "The great Prophet" for me? What if i do not see him as the great Prophet? Please, lets be objective in our moderation and not misrepresent people's views in our bid to moderate their posts.

Or has your system been programmed to change the name to that, so we know that it is the computer that is doing the moderation and not people?

Thanks.

i wonder why anyone would want to force down his belief on someone else.Same people who preach freedom of speech,anyone can be great to you,to me he might be a bag of Papal bulls. . .

Derailing is also not tolerated and will result in warnings and/or bans. Our goal is to keep this forum as organized as possible. Thank you.

BE COOPERATIVE

- You may not post a link or an advert on any topic more than once.

- Affiliate links, questionable investment schemes, MLM, HYIP, & get-rich-quick schemes are not allowed.

Use the “Report to Moderator” button
It’s there for a reason folks. We do not subscribe to jungle justice or keyboard warriorism.

Moderators will be sure to respond to the reported post appropriately and in a timely fashion.

Use the “Search” function
It is very possible that someone has posted a topic or story that you want to best. Please use the “Search” function before starting any topic as yours may be a duplicate, which may result in your thread being locked.

Open threads in the proper sections
Thanks in advance!

Complaints threads are for complaints only!
Many sections have complaints and suggestions threads. Please, do not spam these threads or use them as a derailing spot. Your posts will be hidden and you will be banned!

Do not annoy the moderators…
Or anyone for that matter. That goes without saying.

Have fun!
You’re on Nigeria’s and Africa's number one forum! We didn’t come here to dull
