HumbledbYGrace: Done.

obadiah777: on a sidenote-permission to unhide all the hidden posts ? i believe this is an issue that can be discussed with all members. get their opinions on what they think is an effective strategy. i like musKeetos idea. since this section has been barred as a chatbox, members have not had a cohesive thread where all irregardless of faith can hangout and chat. maybe its time to make changes. i quite like the idea of unstickying both christian and non-christian chat threads and then create a GENERAL CHAT THREAD for every member. those other chat threads can survive or die on their own. but a common chat place is essential for all. if you like this idea LIKE this post so we can get an idea of the strength of people who want this change.

Enigma: I oppose the idea of unstickying the Christian Chat thread specifically. If people speak of fairness, then unstickying the Christian Chat thread will be the height of unfairness. It was unique and it was uniquely granted a sticky status.

No other thread met the requirement that led to it being made a sticky. If people think fairness is having a non-Christian chat thread sticky, I will not object.

I do not see the point for a general sticky thread, Everyone has the liberty to open any thread and fulminate whatever they like. That is the whole idea of a discussion forum. If there is a need for a general discussion thread ok, BUT it does not have to be a sticky!

HumbledbYGrace: There is something Obadiah is missing, this section is not romance section, or literature section, or Celebrity section, There is no way, a general chatbox will solve things, it will only cause chaos around here.

Obadiah don't you like peace? The stability this section has had Do you enjoy unnecessary fights

Enigma: Clarification of Suggestion and Response to Mod

Actually, I think HBG has a point that there has been relative calm regarding the 'sticky' situation (no pun intended)!

Since the non-Christian sticky people were indulged, there has been calm; similarly with the 'Reference' thread even though it usefulness is really quite very limited.

The issue (no misuse of the abbreviation "ish" which unknown to some of its users is hip hop slang for 'shit'*) with Ajibam's 'Welcome' thread has been resolved. So perhaps to avoid rocking the boat, just leave the stickies as they are. I notice it does not even prevent having temporary stickies as is being done with one now.

Also, I agree with the decision that this thread should only be for complaints and suggestions primarily.

obadiah777: so long as they are not fighting in the complaints section, its all good lol.

striktlymi: This is not a chit-chat = friendly conversation about things that are not very important...link



Not visible in the sense that it was un-stickied. I agree that the thread thrives on perticipation but there have been some level of activity since it became visible again: https://www.nairaland.com/1411899/new-members-introduce-yourselves-sticky/1#18779423



I never said the bold...those are your words.

Anyways, I don't have any ish with the selfish motive when it is geared towards meeting the need(s) of others. We are all selfish when we look at it critically. Those who preach do so because they want to make Heaven, folks in paid employment, work because they want to get paid, an entrepreneur saddled with the responsibility of need identification and satisfying same, do so because he/she wants to earn profit...it goes on.

So personally, if Ajibam wants to satisfy his God-given instinct to be 'selfish' but does so such that the need(s) of the section is (are) met adequately, then I have no ish with it. What is important here is whether or not the section gains from whatever any member brings forth. Aji's thread satisfies a number of needs:

a) Gives new members a sense of belonging.
b) When new members feel that they are noticed, they would want to come back and probably invite their friends too which helps the section to grow.
c) It helps the mods keep tab on plausible reasons why some members leave after some time with a view to understand their needs and help meet these needs where possible.

Very good point but the chat threads are member-driven not 'admin'-driven. Aji's thread could give new members that added feel of being welcomed to this section by the Admin.

I believe you would have followed the link to the thread and confirmed that there is some activity in it, even after it was un-stickied.

If his response are inadequate and you feel the need to get a redress then you take it up with the super-mods.

HumbledbYGrace: your controversial threads cater for those fights right?

psky:
Anyway, as a well meaning nairalander, I would have to confess that your "this is not a chitchat "stuff makes you sound like a village headmaster. Please consider stopping it.

Actually, I wish to say something about the bolded especially because some people like to shout that this place is the Religion section and not the Christian section.

The title may say "Religion" and it is true that there are now many different religions here now including paganism and evangelical atheism among others. However, when the section started, it was predominantly made up of Christian discussions with some Islamic and other religion discussions. It was Christian threads and Christian discussions that made this section and that made it attract traffic historically. In other words, historically this section was mostly a Christian section or, to be more accurate/pedantic, a Christian and other religions section.

Fair enough, the reality is that the Christians are leaving the section for those who want to make it what they want to make it. However, in the context of what I have explained and in the context of the history of the Christian Chat thread, having the Christian Chat thread specifically as a sticky is not out of place even in the present climate of the "Religion" section.
