₦airaland Forum

asalimpo: There is StackOverflow for different fields.
Math,programming,electronics,computer-science,cooking (yes,cooking!).
And its structure is d same for all (upvotes ,downvotes - similar dislike widget- ).
Besides does the validity of a dislike/like feature require tht a site have many sections ?

A site with many sections, the dislike button could somehow become a tool used in pulling down, or relegating opponent's posts to the background though it may seem very vital, eg in the Politics sections. Jealousy can also make membrs dislike one's trending thread, and i remembr someone said here that he would have no business with a thread that has say 100 dislikes.

olyjosh: [Native Ibo pidgin ] You talk am well o my dear brother. Nna, every other forum don get ooo, Infactii, We even need a sympathy button, ofcos some post are to bad that u will need to sympathize.


Dislike button is as necessary as like button. Otherwise let there be no like button too.

(Quote) (Report) (Like) (Sympathise)

submit: so you know there are faults in the bible..qstar, he is waking up gradually o. You know,i was once like you, very devout and stout for god. At a very young age, i became a sunday sch teacher. I wasnt even in my teens when i became one. You might disregard this but i tell you, an average redeem pastor is not better qualified than i am. Yes, i know what i was taught. I know what trainings we were made to pass through. Pls dnt say that i am proud.
I oneday woke up to discover fallacies and contradictions in the 'complete book'. After that, my consciousness was raised. Am an atheist. Why am i saying this, thats coz i want you to read your bible well openmindedly, even paul commended the corinthians for searching more on what they were taught.

Back to ur verses, none striked the point you raised when accusing him of evil for having sex with his gf. You would check your bible from now till next year, you wont find any. Twas only fornication thats in the bible and it was used to refer to worshipping other gods.

As per bold, i think u shud read 1st Cor 7:1-3 again.

asalimpo: Stackoverflow , high traffic,many members , has a dislike feature (downvotes).
Too many downvotes never crashed a server.
Its easier to tell som1 he's talkg horse sh*t with a single click thn type.
More people will like seun /and nairaland for this one singular feature. Its long overdue.

Stackoverflow has no many sections like nairaland. They deal mainly on programming, they do not hav sections like politics, literature, jokes, etc that would hav more repercusions of a dislike button,.

Idrismusty97: The disadvantage of this is that too many "dislikes" in a person posts would give Nairalanders a false "1st impression" about that post, it may change their perspectives about it even if the post is reasonable. In the politic section for example you would see completely ridiculous posts having lot of "likes", why? Because it supports a person views or beliefs. If the Igbo tribe is insulted the Yorubas would rush to like that posts and vice versa. Even within political parties, APC supporters would always like the post of anyone who speaks well of them. My point is if this is done for the like button it would definitely be done for the dislike button also. Imagine an harmless sensible post about our president having 100 dislikes. We all know the amount of people who hate Jonathan in this forum is more than the people who support him. So the equation is not balance. People now use those buttons according to their emotions not logically.

I was an avid supporter of the dislike button but now i realised it is pointless for the meantime. It would only be useful when the population of Nairalanders is too damn high! Forget about the nearly 2million registered members you see at the top of the screen. The most active Nairalanders per day/Week may not be up to 20,000. When the population is very high that is when we should start thinking about the dislike button. A high population means more scammers, more trolls that would eventually overwhelm the capability of the mods. Dropping a dislike on such posts would be the best solution. If i mistakenly scroll down a lengthy post and i see "100 dislikes" i won't even bother reading it.

asalimpo: hav u scrolled down a lenghty post and seen 100 likes bf? How often?
Ppl express strong disagreements, dislike has been going on already . A dislike button only adds substance to it.
2) you never know till u try. If nl experiments with dislike for a year or two and it dnt work,they can discontinue it.
3) your great post will b forgotten. 1 week after a post got a lot of dislikes,it wudve been forgotten. Ppl will get used to it.
4) posters will learn how to handle critism,thru a faceless forum which is a good thing.
When president Jonathan came to power, he was green and inexperienced. Dyu think,he is still as sensitive to critism now as he was? No. How did he learn to cope? By shuttg up all critics? No. But by being exposed to them and their scathing comments.
4) like, i said bf, life is not fair, havg a like without a correspondg dislike is hypocritcal and patronisg. By d way,which leader (president) dyu know of tht has never been spoken ill off.
Do evrything ppl want-theyll critcise you.
Do things your way-theyll critcse you.
Keep quiet -ppl will say ur too quiet.
Talk a lot - theyll say ur a parrot ;cant you b quiet for once!

Nairaland a dislike button is long overdue.

Smh

qstar: No send me any pm oh! I will not respond

You sound as if my pm's gonna eat you. Do u now loathe me becos i am telling the world abt the love of Christ for a lost mankind?

Weah96: It's only moral for people who secretly harbor the ambition of banging one. That's the psychology behind it. Nasty mind things. Humans are savages with better technology and clothing. Hahaha.

The truth is bitter they say. No matter what, the truth remains the truth.

qstar: ^^

Sorry guy, i give up.

You welcom, remembr God will neva give up on you. Pls make a decision today, just trust me, u will never regret it, lookout for my pm.

submit: i already told you to either stop quoting me with unintelligent posts or prove the omnipotency of your god by praying for a change of heart for me

Sorry, but that seems the best reply to ur post.

qstar: I am moral doesn't mean i shouldn't have sex.
Why did god make her to be "so sexy"?

I didnt say being moral excludes one from having sex, what i said, and what God said is that it should be done within the confines of marriage. God made humans, male and female, beautiful with great physic and body build inorder to make marriage blissful and sweet.

Besides, i asked you the difference between my analogy and hell.

Fear of hell DO NOT propel us to serve God.

submit: i need a verse in the bible that talked against he having sex with his gf..pretty please. Just 1 verse

I pray these verses change and transform ur view : Read with an open heart, dnt read to find fault pls : 1st Corinthians 7:1-2 , 1st Thessalonians 4:3 , Hebrews 13:4 .
Remain blessed.

qstar: What is the difference with hell?

(2). I just had two rounds of great sex with my gf. Is your god gonna burn us for it?

That is fornication. God detest it, that was why He instituted marriage. Apart from God, do morals not teach you that you shouldn't have sex outside your marriage? Is virginity not a moral value?

submit: lol. Guy u get tym. D bobo is an unreasonable fellow.

We are not known to give up easily. We persuade men.

qstar: The Christians concept of god is going extinct, just like the over 30,000 gods that have come and gone.

A god that will have me burn in hell eternally just because i had two rounds of sweet sex with my gf. nawa o.

Thats wot u fail to understand. Why committing such evil with one that is not your wife, those are the things God hates - Evil.

qstar: You really do not understand the concept of "hell".

It's like saying: to give boko haram your p*nis is not out of fear, it's just that they will roast you at the end of the day if you don't.

Your comparison is suicidal

internetpo: I don dey feel sad for them.

really feel bad for them

Davidolives: BROS I NO SEE NEYMAR FOR FIELD OOOOOO

All of them join guy, as far na cry e dey cry

Tallesty1: Many will brake-up with their gfs and bfs cos of the match.

Das out of point bro

frosbel: Love and Fear cannot coexist.

We have no fear whatsoever, except of cos the fear of God.

I notice in you a zeal for God but not according to knowledge.

The things of God are foolishness to the carnal mind.

submit: why dont you pray for me? Since your god is omnipotent,i blv he should touch me, u knw like he touched apostle paul
SWEETDELIRIUM

Its not advisable wen u gv God an option.

frosbel: pal, worshipping God because of the fear of hell is a very unhealthy life style.

Pls note sir, We dnt serve God because of the fear of hell. Great love for God moves us to serve him. This article will be of help: http://mescopaul..com/2014/06/do-you-serve-god-because-you-love-him.html

Karleb: No offence meant, but I think Nl having a dislike button is just too pointless.

What u call pointless may seem otherwise for someelse

kovak: What is like without dislike?

guente02: IMHO I don't see the need to introduce that option. My reason is that if your post doesn't get any like, its left to you to think maybe many peeps didn't read it or they dont fancy it getting their like. But if the admin enacts this it may lead to one having some sort of low self esteem when next he/she is responding to threads on the forum. Thats just one and there are many more but will be back if it makes fp.

Your voice dear, just hope Sir Seun is reading your comments.

submit: Guy why quote me with such unintelligent posts. Why dont you think on what i wrote. Well here is more for you in reply to your question. Pls dont just read but meditate.

I would simply humble myself and come out in the open and ask for forgiveness concerning the errors in the bible and the scam that have been played in my name. I would praise the ones who were bold to ask and search for me not minding the consequence of hell and i would severely scold those who were foolish and lazy not to use their brains. I as god, would also trash the perperators who altered the bible concerning the prophecies of jesus and also those that claimed that jesus was the son of god. After that i would end the saga of satan once and for all by destroying him but that would mean me destroying a part of myself,since being evil is my 2nd nature. And since i destroyed a part of myself,i would not be perfect,hence i die. Yes i would die.
But the christain god can never do all these since he is too proud. He exalts in his wickedness,selfishly stealing praises for what he didnt do..why not? When he exists only in the head of a christain.
Saying it again, its all a dillusion, SWEET DELIRIUM.
@op, you really need to wake up. If i tell you that you are a hell candidate,would you believe? Your telling us that we would go to hell shows that you have judged and since your bible said dont judge,you have sinned. Now he who is guilty of one is guilty of all. You might say but since i live in the spirit, i am continually cleansed but i tell you,if rapture comes now, we, together would rock hell. Thats the beauty of your religion, you can never be sure and pure. Your god is a saddist. But all these exists in your head. Do wake up.

Jesus loves you sir, thats the most important thing now, you will come to appreciate the death on the cross when you ve surrendered to him fully. Pls do that now. Dont bother to reply or quote me, just pray and accept him into ur life now. Remain blessed.

mmsen: Fairytale:
A fabricated story, especially one intended to deceive.

Like it or not the story that claims that a perfect being made a perfect world and then had to rectify his lack of foresight with a sacrifice is a fabrication.

Suit ur self then, buh at least u wont say you weren't told about the perfect love of Jesus for you.

kovak: Supported

Why sir, do u have concised and tangible reasons?

mmsen: Talking the truth is now 'crying over spilt milk'?

Allowing a lie to go unchallenged is socially irresponsible.

If the first part of the fairytale is unlikely to be true then it makes the second part even less likely to be true.

You termed this a fairytale?? Man is no use saying anytin, am not talkin a fairytale, maybe the literature section wud do u gud bro. Thanks.

Its more than a social network.
