This is not called politics for nothing. Unlike auto, health, or even job threads, this is the only thread where facts/fiction/reasons/opinions/biases/economy/finance/ethnicity/jobs/etc get mixed up, blended if you will, and served up hot --delicious for some, stinking for others, but in reality it's politics.

While I don't subscribe to personal insults and innuendos, there is no way to practice or participate in this political thread without some form of lively and heated debate. Sometimes, one may not always be on the winning or even reasonable side, but that politics. Censorship will not help.

With over 3.5 million members, N/L is not doing badly. Personally, I think that Igbo related issues get lots of traffic because Igbos make up the most number in Nigeria and on this Nairaland---- Seun probably knows it too.

Politics might be dirty but the forum shouldn't be. Forum rules are here, https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-1026.0.html

Those with known duplicated accounts should be banned period. People are using their duplicates account to cause havoc here and downgrade the quality of debate around here. It is widely reported and believed that "Ajaraemuro" "Ajanlekoko" etc are all but one person. It is easy to see as every time the personality leaks into each created account. Any suspecting account or user should be removed.

ElRazur:

Talk to the moderator? Interesting. . . Let the talking begin.

RichyBlack, you are part of the problem and in some case. . . The problem. You are biased, inactive and allow junks to flourish around here.

You biased and unfairness is seen this thread here [see below] and I quite rightly challenged you over it.
https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-290665.0.html

In the past couple of days, I have had a few debate with one of the new moderators in this section and I have asked her to draw your attention to the thread in question - whether she did or not I do not know.

Like I have said before and am saying it again, you can have whatever view you want, how ever you cannot use your stance as a moderator to effect any of those views - especially politically sensitive issues. As a moderator, you are supposed to be fair, unbiased and active which you ain't.

You inactivity here have allowed spam post, junk thread, irrelevant items and bickering to flourish around here. Yes we all have jobs to do in real life, however you are supposed to be making a commitment here by accepting a moderator position. So far, the commitment is lacking. Surely, how hard is it to keep tabs on activity going on around here? How hard is it to have a zero tolerance towards people who post irrelevant stuff, or off topic thread?

Things I would like to see dealt with here are as follows:
People posting just thread with news link only should be locked. . . . People should at least learn to give an opinion or two on what they are posting. It drags down the quality of debate around here.

Irrelevant topic should be swiftly removed without further warnings.

It is time we enforce the art of debating here. No insult, etc. [Afam and co should take note] Here is a good example of how not to debate:https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-289743.0.html

The issue of Igbo/tribalism/Biafra are sensitive issues, while I believe they are allowed to air their views, however such topic should be curtailed once it is bordering the line of pure hatred/insult. This is politics and not tribalism.

Those with known duplicated accounts should be banned period. People are using their duplicates account to cause havoc here and downgrade the quality of debate around here. It is widely reported and believed that "Ajaraemuro" "Ajanlekoko" etc are all but one person. It is easy to see as every time the personality leaks into each created account. Any suspecting account or user should be removed.

Still on the art of debating etc, it appears a few people do not even know what this is about. Maybe it is time to draw a simple guideline for politics section only and make it as a sticky - I can help with that - any body going off topic or not sticking to these guidelines should be directed to the sticky and if they continue to offend should be suspended. Period.

There have been suggesting of vetting thread [by Mr Crackles] I agree with this, perhaps we can implement this for the politics section only. But then, it would require to have a mod who is online most of the time.

There are a few more to come. Let me see how richyblack react to this first.

ElRazur:

It may be worth fixing the cheap antispam bot plug-in program in use here. It is not in anyway effective. Here are a few things I have noticed.

1. Posts are not showing.

2[b].Making that same post would result to potential account suspension.[/b]

3. Anyone who quotes a post not showing in a thread, but visible in the quoting/reply section would have their account suspended too.

All of these I have experienced.

In my opinion the spam bot is rubbish and very indiscriminate. It is really worth Seun to consider employing more human as a mod to do the work, than reply on an ineffective and indiscriminate anti-spam bot.


PS
NaijaKing1. I noticed your post aint showing hence why I posted this.

blacksta:

Hi,

Your post(s) were marked as spam and are not visible to you, next time when that happens do not try making the same post again, as the bot may read it to mean a spammer trying to bypass it, and you may automatically be banned, If that happens next time please notify a mod.
We are very Sorry for the inconvience , You have been unbanned.


Regards
Mukina

I'm surprised my post criticizing your take on RickBlack is not here. Did you delete it

bilymuse:

Most criticism against RichyBlack is bias and unfair. the guy is doing a good job and should be applauded.

For God sake its a public forum and people should be allowed within reasonable limit to express their openion. Posting should only be removed if contributors shows extreme tribalism or advocate violence. We must go by the rule of free speech:

@ElRazur
Am not Richy's biggest fan but I strongly believe he's fair. Moderating a site as huge and with as much divergent opinions as Nairaland is a onerous task. The link you provided led one to believe you wanted a moderator who share warped views of your realpolitik.
I remember you saying somewhere that you wanted to set up an Internet site but views like yours made your site die even before take-off. Am afraid Richy is here to stay, your  disagreement with him does not hold much to scrutiny (too banal).

Your argument that Richy is not active around here is ludicrous to say the least.
Did it occur to you that he might have a job? Try leaving the welfare scene for a change then you'd appreciate the effort people make to put food on table.
Only Seun can stay on Nairaland as much as you and Kobo.
See you later.
