Fellow Nairalanders,

We have noticed the use of ethnic slurs and other derogatory names by a small but persistent group of political actors and trolls.

This practice of derogatory name-calling adds no value to the forum. It's bad for our mental health, our harmony as a community, and the reputation of Nairaland. It's simply toxic. It's absence and the absence of the people who use those slurs will not be missed.

Therefore I have decided to ban the practice entirely. I have instructed dominique, mukina2, Lalasticlala and Mynd44 to ban anyone who uses an ethnic slur or derogatory name on Nairaland. The antispam bot will also contribute to the effort. Please report any case that you see.

Moderate Christian thread as much as you moderate Muslim thread. Let Muslims and Christians discuss their stuffs. Don't forget to include traditionalists.

FatimaAbubakar:
If you are banning the so-called ethnic slurs, then it should not be one-sided. There some people here who use derogatory words on others to promote their ethnic group and they seem to be untouchables but when someone else does same, the person get banned.

Take note that there is a moderator on this forum who ban people who do not concur to the ideas of his ethnic group and religious affiliation.

Modify your website rule to International Best Practices.
Imagine Nairaland doesn't have a Comprehensive Privacy Policy, Terms of Use.
Even the Community rule is outdated.
Ethnic slurs is not the only issue your site is facing, you need to deal with Mysoginist and Misandry content as well. Harassment is almost everyday thing on nairaland

will you enforce the rules for him?
Rules not enforced are just invitation to anarchy.

Any evidence of that? We accepted political ads, but I'm not aware of any other cashing out. I'll investigate anyone if good evidence is provided.

dominique, mukina2, L.a.la.sti.c.lal.a, seun.

Rule 2 broken - Spelling Igbo as Ibo - this demeaning of the Igbo race.
No RULE was broken here. IT is very incorrect of you to say that!

I have been a veteran member of NL for 18 years now with another NL account, and I belong to an older generation which used IBO in ALL our daily interactions, school books and in newspapers and other publications. I have newspapers published after the year 2000 in my archives that used the spelling IBO. It was after the year 2000 that we started seeing the other "Igbo" spelling, but I'm used to USING the spelling IBO. NOTHING DEROGATORY HERE. I assume you are younger in age and this is the reason why you do NOT realise these historical FACTS.

The recent Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary also still uses "Ibo" as an alternate to Igbo. IBO is the STANDARD Anglicised format still used in publications today, so, you have to update your knowledge there.

Even in Chinua Achebe's books that we read back in the day, IBO was used even right up to those published around the year 2000.
If it was wrong to use the spelling IBO, many of your kinsmen and Achebe would have bluntly refused to have the spelling "Ibo" in all their literature books of the late 1800s/early1900s till after the year 2000. Period.
