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.

Your mods love majoring in minors.
They go after words and phrases.
Hate speech and call for violence has taken strong hold on this platform. It is not words or phrases, it is the whole speech. It is the degrading of an ethnic group that will lead to real life blood bath, that is what should be banned.
There people who just created a profile to be tribal bigots who are after ethnic and religious cleansing.
That is where your focus should be on, not words

The damage has already been done, but it is never too late to start. And another thing is that I think Mynd44 is little tribalistic and fanatical to to carry out such task.

Re: A Total Ban On The Use Of Ethnic Slurs On Nairaland by DeTribalisedCit: 1:31pm On Mar 28, 2023
I also think Mynd44 would be partisan; but then, there are not many more active than him on this forum and I may be biased because I know which wing he plays.

Anyways, can we have a list of such slurs or at least, have the rule in clear terms as one of those we see when making a new post?

Thanks in advance.

If NL should enact such, people wouldn't express themselves again.

It's an infringement on freedom of expression.

Nice one, at least serious minded people who once boycotted the forum can now be attracted back. My observation is that most of those offenders use a new account, and from their profile you will see zero contribution to the forum.

Good one. I deliberately stopped reading nairaland comments for over a year now. The hate and disgust and disrespect was so real. And Seun I urge you you to consider this persons suggestion. You can’t just create a new account today and use it to do nonsense. Try use your old account to type nonsense and collect 30 days ban.

I do this over and over, but it does nothing! It just hides the comment from me and I assume the person was banned, only to see them trolling me and others again.

Seun this is very good & commendable, we cannot afford to further divide our fractured country with unnecessary ethnicity.

It was very unfortunate that some of our Yoruba brothers were misguided by an evil political class to see their fellow suffering citizens as their problem whereas the true problem of our country are those politicians


Unless you want to deceive yourself as you have been doing then you will conclude it is Yoruba people not minding how you guys are claiming to be the owner of another man's land
