It looks like you no longer or you don't have control over your moderators. You, keep mentioning they are volunteers seems to me you don't kind of reward them for doing their job, hence, they feel they can do anything, anyhow and at any time.

My simple advice to you sir,

Change is the only constant thing anywhere in the world. The 'good' job done by these erring moderators in time past and present might be a major reason why you are reluctant to let them go, that is quite understandable. Notwithstanding, these guys are gradually folding this forum up. Yes! It might not be noticeable at the moment perhaps due to the population but i tell you, it is definately going to reflect in no time. If you doubt this, i challenge you to put up a poll and allow Nairalanders give their opinion about moderation here and by then, you will confirm what i am talking.

If any moderator thinks he/she is too big to be corrected or adviced, then i suppose such being is too big to moderate here. A lot of Nairalanders are complaining for crying out loud! Do you mean all of them are wrong??

Please do something, there are thousands, i mean thousands of Nairalanders out there that will do a better job.

Long Live Nairaland!

If your MODS could derail a plausible thread, what hope do we then have as Nairalanders?? They're still the Mods that would ban members for derailing a thread!!! SMH

So are you afraid to drop most of them??

I don't think it is just about them being paid, I think it started with the erroneous belief of the super-mods that appointing those who themselves could not be well-behaved members would solve problems on nairaland.

Here is an excerpt of a post by mukina herself on how the admin chose a mod.
"before he became a mod, he was one of the most banned persons on romance section, i banned and warned him a lot,we decided to try the 'michelin method' (turn a fighter into a lawmaker) and he became a mod"

https://www.nairaland.com/1129796/sexkillz-voted-moderator-year-2012#13344832


That was one of their biggest mistakes. Sure it might have seemed to work at first, but how about in the long-run?

How in the world can someone lead when he does not know how to follow?

And it's even more annoying when you see these same mods banning people for the things they do on a daily basis.

My advise to the super-mods would be to appoint only the most well-behaved members as mods, not those who get into fights every other day and who always get banned, because they are only going to carry that disturbing character into the mod job.

Rain beats the leopard's skin but it doesn't wash out it's spots, please listen to your members.

My earnest advice sir (because I and every member that deems it fit to complain actually love ur good work though we feel you need assistance from much more matured & polite mods) is that you open & close a thread and put the names of the controversial mods in two places each(for & against) for members to vote by liking. It will help you to take an informed stand& ur customers(NLers) wud respect you n NL wud progress more.

You have to take this issues seriously now b4 they actually degenerate and make you lose focus. You r a very busy man and these constant uproars will make ur work more n more difficult. That may not be fair to your well-being. You need peace of mind n am sure that is bin threatened every now & then by these frequent disturbances.

Of course not, but I just don't think seun is going to be paying mods anytime soon.

We have tens of sections on nairaland, and some need nearly 24 hour surveillance.

How much do you think he could pay each mod?

I'm not one of those people who believe seun makes earth shattering money off this place, sure he makes some cool amounts, but not earth shattering.

So I'll like us to be reasonable here, how much do you think he could pay?

On the contrary sir, I have played a little programming with my initial suggestion and its obvious to me that it can't work on NL due to the flexibility of account creation.
Thus another suggestion would be not to necessarily ban/suspend mods but to have two or more different teams of mods that are interchangeable every specific period of time and these may help assess mods or even bring competition amongst mods (you can decide to appreciate the efforts of those that do the work properly without threatening the very existence of the site).
This is an idea in hatchery and can be fine-tuned for betterment of all parties. smiley

That's not true!!!

HumbledbYGrace has never been controlled! People complain,she makes apology,and everyone lives in better atmosphere, so is Deols.






I don't think there's any Mod who is controlled on NL

they should be afraid of you, not the other way around.. You're in charge. that's what bosses do. you are the oga at the top.. you dont have to consult anybody before you do your stuff.. dem just dey proove stubbornness.

sexkillz: Cry babies.

Why are you crying set always the ones banned everytime? Not all mods will stomach the nonsense being perpetuated by you lot. . . Call it a revolution if you like.

Enough is Enough. If you can't stand the heat, De-activate. It'll only get hotter. Bans on main accounts will keep multiplying especially after you are back from a ban and you repeat the offence.

Cry all you want, but that's how it's gonna be.
I have never seen any serious establishment/organization take a stance like this towards its customers no matter how terrible they are. It shouldn't be about getting the job done alone but the attitude you put on while getting the job done should also matter.
Thus Sexkillz may have the ability to get the job done but he doesn't have the right attitude. This is one of the reasons that there is a war.

You can start over, you dont necessarily have to be the one that controls the mod . You should find someone you really trust here,YOUR MANNEST MAN then guide him on the ways of nairaland..after that u open up a thread and letting all mods , and even members know that power has changed , and a super super super mod has been employed... let that guy be the one to control the mods for a week or more without sentiments.. make you know if they no go change by force... ..

i would have recommended or advice you use murkina2 for the job, but the sentiments will still be there...


A NEW GUY, IS WHAT YOU WOULD NEED FOR THIS JOB

never tire brother.. your members dey ur back always, even if ur mods abandon you..
