Seun:
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.

When will you add restrictions in Christian related posts? So that before commenting we can swear that we are Christians and believe only in God?

HydraFeeds:
but when Seun said he had brought him back ,the next day homepage was filled with Obi’s post and anti APC’s posts .

The only difference between him and Mynd44 is that the latter airs his opinion on politics once in a while and once declared he’s Yoruba that studied at OAU while the latter does not comment on posts and always post snakes .

When Lala was absent.... Nairaland became significantly cleaner. That's a fact.

They want to use the Obidient Style to take Mynd44 down. And they will. He too is too docile. Unfortunately Seun himself is very very biased and not even hiding it.

I disagree. He has an affinity for APC but he is not at all tribalistic as far as I can tell.
That affinity with a politicial party is the reason why he is intoxicated with power to ban people who does not share same political views with him.

A moderator ought to be neutral and practice his affinity at home and not online.

However, you didn't express yourself the right way. You just broke rule 2 and rule 20. Too bad. 🤷‍♂️

You should have allowed her respond to the above before banning her, it appears you quickly cleared yourself without giving her a chance to do same...na reverse psychology you sharply use seun.
