Good day,
I've come to notice some activities perpetuated by people who just registered on this platform within days or a week.
They post obscene photos, tribal comments or posts that are hurtful with the idea that since it's a new account even if it gets banned they won't feel it.

I belong to other forums that i think has features that should be incorporated into this forum for sanity sake.
1.upvotes : the relevance of a comment determines it's position, post with less relevance or marked indecent go down and we know people rarely read comments to last page often.

2. Time frame:
I registered on a forum years ago and couldn't post videos or pictures, comment on certain threads etc because i was new to the forum so all those features i was restricted from untill i fullfiled certain conditions which included number of likes or upvotes on my comments, the number of days I've been active on the platform etc.
I believe the ability for a user on this forum to do anything should depend on their rep,
Why am i saying this,
I was with my kid sister going through news and while scrolling i came across a pornographic photo and the user was just registered last night.

I believe we the users should be the ones handling the option to delete a users comment, lets say if 15 people mark your comment offensive it immidiately gets deleted, we don't have to wait for the mods to do simple things like this as we are the ones suffering from such obscene things.
Even misleading posts should follow this same criteria where if marked as misleading by 20 people it gets deleted this will help curb the nonsense habits of bloggers clickbaiting us.
And as for the tribalist we have here that take pleasure in insulting other people's tribe or persona they should be given bans immidiately, even if they decide to create new accounts to do what they do they time and effort it'll take them to be able to do such wouldn't be worth it.

Also a users profile should include the number of times they've been banned and a brief summary of why they where banned and other cases against such user filed by another user. This was before you do any financial transaction with anyone you should be able to ascertain how responsible they are.

I also understand sometimes some genuine people need to tell genuine stories anonymously, stories that we all benefits from,. Request should be made to Mods informing them of the anonymous post they want to post .
The mods will now grant or reject such request if accepted they would then grant the user permission for such. In this situation the mods end up having identity of the user wich isn't ideal so any other corrections or recommendation should be made in the comments concerning the anonymous post.

If this things are implemented we will have a clean nairaland thanks.
I also had no idea where to post this so Mods can put it in the right section.

Your suggestions are good but i know they will not implement it.


afterall its not related to snake

I disagree with you, especially about allowing a number of users to determine what post should be taking down. The reason is that Nigerians are very different people, what maybe tribal to a Yoruba can be inoffensive to an Igbo man. What can be offensive to an Hausa man can be mild to an Ogoni man. I use myself as an example, I comment a lot about Biafra but there are certain people in Nigeria who find any mention of Biafra to be tribal, offensive and unpatriotic. But most Igbos like me do not see it that way.

I think that best thing is to let the mods do their job and hope that NL has done a good job of selecting mods who are not biased. Thats my cents

Thank you, i understand that aspect now, i also realized people would misuse that feature

Nice suggestions

Seun is a smart businessman. Implementing all above will reduce traffic thereby affecting revenue. Do you know that they cash out whenever there is a tribal thread? Which usually like an ant on a sugar for guests to register and join in the roforofo

The best way is not to let people know that posts gets automatically deleted after a certain number of people report it. Let them keep thinking the mods did it.

Nyamuri:
70% of nyamuri flat.heads are prostitutes, drug peddlers, fraudsters, arm robbers, rituals etc!!! They are a nuisance to every community they find themselves

mynd44 lalasticlala seun oam4j
rule 2

Look out for those new accounts that goes with-

"I'm quite popular here and I won't like this to be attached to my moniker and all that I had to create new account bullshits''

Funny how those new accounts create fictional stories in order to trend and make frontpage.

You see that romance section- the ratio of lies against the truth is 80/20.

You guys, should look into this

True, all that would be in the code and known to the webmasters alone with the threshold number agreed upon by seun and mods

Exactly some of them are quite entertaining enough to be put in the diary section instead lieing about the fictional stories

Don't the mods check their mentions??
