Small small dem don dey try throw this thread go junk yard.
By tomorrow, you wont find it again.

samstradam:

Thanks mod for explaining partly but why do pro government topics, and especially ones by that thing called 'Beaf' get disproportionate coverage on the front page?
I mean anyone who makes the mistake of only checking the front page (something i use to do) will come out with a skewed perception of things in Nigeria. I mean take the fuel subsidy for instance, pre 2012 NLs frontpage made it look like it was 50-50 support, which was clearly deceptive once i checked the full politics section. Why such favourable publicity for such an unpopular policy?

greateros:

my broda leave mata for matayas!

We all know which cult club seun belongs. but like the first foo-l that posted a reply said - if e vex u go open ya own forum.

If u listen to blazey {lasinoh} then u will survive long on NL
She may acted like a psycho but bliv me behind that facade lies one of the most intelligent poster on NL.
Follow her advice and u wont get pissed by their shi-ts.

How can you hold Seun responsible for the actions of his moderators? Dude, seriously? Seun, like he said he did not delete any thread and probably did not even know his moderators deleted threads in his absence, how does that constitute ti full blown responsibility? If Seun was aware of his moderators actions (i.e.) if a formal complaint thread has been opened or an appeal cosigned with tens or even hundreds of you concerned fellows, and fowarded to Seun and his Super Mod, YET Seun remains negligent of the fact and still hasn't done anything about it, NOW you can hold him both responsible AND accountable.

IMO, I think it's rather unfair to hold someone responsible for other people action even if those actions were of their subordinates. No you will NOT hold GEJ for any of his ministers crime, GEJ did not commit any crime and wasn't aware of it. Now if he was aware that his ministers are embezzling, YET he did nothing, that's a different scenario.

Jarus:

The level of reasoning of many folks on NL baffles me.
Who do we believe?
Pro-GEJ people: 'Nairaland is a Buharii site. They even manipulated polls to deceive Nigerians that Buhari was winning. They keep banning beaf because they cannot stand truth Even the mods, Aisha2 and Jarus, are part of Buhari machinery'

Anti-GEJ people: 'Seun and Nairaland are govt machinery. They keep deleting posts that are anti-GEJ. You cannot suppress truth bla bla'

When someone lacks creativity to spice up a topic to attract comments and stay afloat and the thread runs to page 5, we mods are to blame.

With the no of anti-GEJ threads that are on front page, for anyone to think NL is suppressing 'truth' against GEJ is height of daftness.

For God's sake, how many times do people need telling that the wave of discussions of NL is purely a reflection of reigning public sentiments, and not guided by any moderator or Seun?

Omo_Tier1:

If we are to behonest with ourselves, Seun, aka superMOD and the other MODs should admit there is a level of baise in the way some 'post' are elevated to front page status.

This will be expected as the SuperMOD and other 'minor' MODs (duno super, minor, God help humanity!) are humans and there is bound to be an element of baise in the kind of work they do. But here again, I have also noticed that during the periods GEJ appears to be having a rough time, any pro-GEJ post featuring what the GEJ says He will do is quickly flashed on the front page!

Let me not assume anything but going by the events of the last General Elections, SEUN we know PDP, JARUS is CPC and OMA4J, dunno, He could belong to one of those parties proscribed by JEGA'S INEC , so I guess that brings a fair balance but again, in Nigeria is there anything like fair anymore?

If I may add, JARUS, your response to this post I feel was, 'duno'. OMA4J's response did give some clarity to others who weren't aware of how forumes like NL function with posts.

Jarus:

You cannot say because the popular sentiments is against GEJ, then the few pro-GEJ threads should not have their own fair share of homepage too. All sides must be heard, the pro-subsidy, the anti-subsidy. We are an unbiased empire(even if we have our personal opinions). Maybe you guys expect Nairaland to fully endorse a side. No, we wont do that. Any topic from any side that we feel is captivating enough for the front page will make it. You pro-subsidy, anti-GEJ people are accusing govt of suppressing you yet you are also clamouring for suppression of some views here. Yes, denying the anti-subsidy, pro-GEJ their say is also suppression.

Let everybody talk, intelligence will reign.

No body is expecting you to take side, rather what I did point out is, when you 'mechanically' attempt to try to appear as though you want to balance the post and when you have several post that are anti-GEJs with several pages running already and they do not make front page, and two or three posts that are pro-GEJ with barely three replies making the front page, you leave people with the impression many have today.

I think what you may or may not have picked out from this is people questioning the rational used by moderators in deciding which post are worth debating and which aren't. Going by your previous post;

I am unclear how you come to the conclusion that a topic is worth debatable when in my opinion in some cases after several hours of the post coming on board it has barely Garner up to 5 replies!

JARUS, I guess it is worth noting that several people like myself who are neither pro-GEJ nor Anti-GEJ rather pro-Nigeria have in the past pointed these anomalies out. Maybe it not yet obvious that Nairaland is here because of the people that come in here to air their views, so maybe these people deserved to listened to and 'Educated' if need be, rather than putting a rash response across to them. As for me,  I barely careless what goes on the front page, If I may add another twist to the whole talk,  several other sections with very interesting and informative discussion going on barely have their post make the front page,  I can give lots and lots of examples,  but let just leave it at that.

Oh need I add also, there are post that not necessarily requires debating, as they maybe informative post to pass across an information or to enlighten some people.
Ciao,  I need some toast before, protest already underway, 

talknafree:


Show me one Anti- Government thread on the Front page and i will show you 20 Pro-Government threads there.
Who are you guys trying to deceive.

Demdem:

The mods have done well by explaining their positions and i am ok with it. Nairaland isnt for any party alone but for all parties. Just like seun is for the retardeen, his mods arent for him. am ok with that.

I just have one request. let this place, especially politics section be free for all and dont let us be posting with the fear that one will be banned for saying it as it is. if this is done, that thing called dmainboss wont be coming here constantly peddling lies.

Demdem:
