This is a suggestion to Nairaland owners, admin and website programmers.

Kindly consider modifying the setup of this forum by removing and replacing the LIKE and SHARE buttons with UPVOTE and DOWNVOTE buttons respectively, similar to what is obtainable at Reddit and Quora.

This will go a long way to improve the quality of posts and contributions on this forum, as people get the chance every time to UPVOTE good, thoughtful, reasonable or modest posts, and to DOWNVOTE unsavoury, ill-considered, abusive or unscrupulous posts.

This is merely a request. Would be nice if it can be looked into.

Thank you.

Nairaland has really waned in its quality of contributions and discussions. For me it's mainly my local news aggregator. I merely come here to skim through headlines in order to quickly have get local trending news. However, what you get most times is non-newsworthy stories and other stuff that shouldn't even be posted let alone be in front-page.

I know. Wasn't opposing your stance.

As expected, a post like this would find it hard to reach front page. Na real wa!

Nairaland has an entertainment element as well. Reading comments and having a laugh is important and an unlike button would deter some people from commenting. The audience isn't the same audience as Reddit and Quora.

You have a point dear, but do you also realize that there are a whole lot more people staying away from this forum altogether because of the stuff that happens here often?
