As i can only read your posts and not see your looks, my list is based on the understanding that the names therein are of people:
1) Who are of adult age, and
2) Who are not bad looking.

In no particular order:

@Gabry,
The one and only.The most intelligent babe on NLD.
None ever spoke evil of her,the queen to be  kiss

Who be that


whitelexi:

If i were to date anyone on NL. . .  She'd have to be fun to be with, have a good attitude, be pretty and brainy, and have a good relationship with God. grin

Nearly all the girls i know on NL pass this criteria but there are a few who mix all that with a good level of maturity wink - thats from a distance sha.

When they come closer, i'd wanna know how good a cooks she is, and her general personal hygiene also comes into scrutiny undecided Then we shall look at a few other things before my mind will rest grin

Ooohhh. . . That is too bad. . . Cause I am the opposite of all the above. Well, in that case, I will leave you with The Amaka tongue

I'm really on ma last nerve so any more offtopic posts and the poster is recommended for an automatic ban.
I am done with cleaning the thread.
grin grin grin
You have been forewarned
There's a statement for it and it is: power control.
Re: If You Were To Date Any One On Nairaland Who Would You Pick? by lovemoi2(f): 2:29am On Dec 02, 2009
^^^^
really so because they are moderators, i should be quiet even when they do something stupid or when they trow insults at me
since in naija having a little bit of power makes you feel like superhuman
if that is'nt bullshit i wonder what is

i dint know the dictatorship in naija is also in NL

i thought NL was a place for naijas to have  freedom
Re: If You Were To Date Any One On Nairaland Who Would You Pick? by TheSeeker(m): 2:36am On Dec 02, 2009
^^^ Unfortunately no! I have said it many times before that NL is autocratic. I can't do what annoys the mod but they can do what annoys me, right? It's funny how a lot of people come on here and talk trash at leaders when they, in fact, have mismanaged whatever power they have placed on them. You can imagine some of these moderators acting like they are demigods because they can ban and unban and it makes me wonder what they'd have done if they were president or governors.

TheSeeker:

According to the constitution drafted by Seun - which you might want to read - the last part of it states that you should not do what annoys the moderator. I think that's like putting them in a position of authority where they can't be challenged or do whatever does annoys them personally respectively.
thats why i say over and over again that Seun runs this place like a dictator.
who is he? Hitler and his Nazis are the MODS? just saying.
i dont have any problem with any of the MODS but that should not be a rule, thats just stupid!

@ Gabry, but I was not among the basher and cussers naw cheesy.


@ lovemoi2, believe me, I know. It's just terrible the way a mod can start a bashing thread, while they delete posts that are annoying to them as they wish. What a forum tongue lipsrsealed.
Re: If You Were To Date Any One On Nairaland Who Would You Pick? by Nobody: 2:40am On Dec 02, 2009
Jaybee has been tolerant enough. This thread would have been gone the second time it messed up if it had been in Culture. He really has some patience cleaning it up every morning.

I'd say you can't totally call him a dictator because he made it clear in the same constitution that the website is privately owned - which means he decides what or what not to do with it. As harsh as it may sound, I think it's possible for anyone who's not used to the rules to delete their account but I understand we would want a common ground where we are all equal considering that this was supposed to be a genuinely purposed Nigerian website.
Re: If You Were To Date Any One On Nairaland Who Would You Pick? by Gabry(f): 3:47am On Dec 02, 2009
U guys are taking this too personally. You guys started off by bashing and humiliating one another and mocking each other with all the bad / harsh words  yet read the rules again. It stated

- You may not bully a fellow Nairalander.  This applied to old members too.  Violation -> ban.

And were you guys being ban just yet? Nope!

--------------------------------------------------------------------

And the topic of this thread is called If You Were To Date Any One On Nairaland Who Would You Pick?
but most of you guys are basically out of topic. Again, refer to the rules:-

ALWAYS POST ON TOPIC
Off-topic posts will also be strictly penalized!  We want our forum to be well-organized.


And yet the Mods of this section did / have not penalized anyone just yet

---------------------------------------------------------------------

And the most obvious one which you guys have done is to do Personal Attacks and Public Fights and the rules stated:-

NO PERSONAL ATTACKS OR PUBLIC FIGHTS
Nairaland is a discussion forum, and it is inevitable that disagreements with crop up from time to time.  Please be nice and respectful to other members at all times and do not resort to personal attacks, false accusations, name-calling, and other unproductive forms of communication.  If you are upset with another member of the forum you must settle the fight outside the forum.  You must not carry out any 'fights' on the open forum.  'Fights' are not allowed.


And what did you guys do? Personal Attacks and Public Fights.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

And mind you it did not say DO NOT OFFEND THE MODERATOR but it said And the most important rule is this: don't do anything that annoys the admin.  Thanks a million! The Moderator and the Admin are two completely different positions  smiley

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The most jaybee has done is to clear up this thread which belongs in his section and thats all. The least you guys could do is to be grateful instead of mocking around.

Mama Ngozi is very dissapointed with you guys really. . . angry

If you want to start an argument now over these, you're most likely to fail. Because first of all, I will ask you to name where in the world don't people get in fights, and where in the world don't people attack each other. It only makes it interesting. . . just drop it right there and don't take it any further because I have an issue with every point you've made and I have two motions to prove each of them wrong.

thank you
i guess we should all suppress our feelings
and keep quiet even when deep down we wana say something

this is just a forum but it is parallel with how Nigeria as a country is

why do we have useless governments and leaders  the reason is that we cant say anything cos we all so damn afraid to speak our minds
cos you dont wana offend the people in power
Re: If You Were To Date Any One On Nairaland Who Would You Pick? by Nobody: 4:55am On Dec 02, 2009
I'd like to see these mod bashers moderate. Una too get mouth. You'd be worse if you were in our positions but you just don't know it yet.
Re: If You Were To Date Any One On Nairaland Who Would You Pick? by TheSeeker(m): 5:12am On Dec 02, 2009
^^^ Why would we be worse in your position? I'd like an explanation to that.
Re: If You Were To Date Any One On Nairaland Who Would You Pick? by Nobody: 5:14am On Dec 02, 2009
Beacause since you protest now and can't see any good in what we do, I suppose at first you'll be clueless and too tolerant. Then when the members start taking you for granted, you'll start to act harsh. From cold to hot.

To be a warm (balanced temperature) mod, you must realize that being in charge comports making decisions. The members are the least people to like them. The well being of the forum as a whole comes first before any whims from members.

Hope you get it.

We're not protesting, we're simply showing you what's right or wrong in our best opinion and the least you can do is come out and defend your decisions. Instead of defending your actions, which should be expected of a leader (moderator in this setting) in a society (forum in this context), all we get is a ban, although I have never personally got into a fight with any mod but I have seen people get banned for it. If a mod is challenged or protested against, such mod should come out and defend their actions and not the protester getting banned. That is outrightly autocratic. I understand it's a private website and the owner can choose to do whatever with it but we are right to expect some equality here.

A good leadership is one that listens and tries to let the follower see its point of actions and decisions to a point where the follower is convinced not sanction the follower if the leadership's concept is not understood or challenged.

I don't understand the supposed warmness of a moderator coming not making the people like them. Are you telling me there aren't mods on this forum that people like? Of course there are and that's because they have mixed up with the people and act like one of them instead of riding on that superiority horse.

Why shouldn't I be able to express my view on a forum because I'm afraid of being banned? If I can't express how I feel wholly, why is it an interactive 'community'? Would it have made any difference if we were being charged a fee? I don't have any issue against any moderator but I have an issue with some moderators' power control and lousy ego.

Mods can't ban. But they can report members. And mind you Seun and Mukina are strict with us. We can't do and undo as we like. We also get punished if we misbehave. Anyways from what I have seen, all these complaints are merely pushed by ignorance. The majority of members simply don't know how the forum works and would rather blame the mods for everything. I see them repeating the same things over and over again even after an explanation.

No mod is liked by everyone. You must not be liked to know you are doing a good job. I don't really mind being hated if that guarantees my section the perfect environment for debates.

And true, moderators are in a privileged positions. They move faster and see more than you. But for the work they do, they deserve a little recognition. And no one bans anybody for being opinionated. There are ways to go about things.

Or do you challenge an authority with arrogance?

If the authority leads by arrogance, sure why wouldn't I challenge it with what it has laid down for me to follow?
Re: If You Were To Date Any One On Nairaland Who Would You Pick? by Nobody: 5:50am On Dec 02, 2009
But if an authority is arrogant and you also challenge him with that same attitude, it's obvious you'll get crushed. If you don't give a mod a reason to report you for a ban, even though he does, the admin will ignore it and prolly scold him for abusing of his powers.

Did I mention that I want to start an argument? Im just answering all of your doubts and the remarks you guys make is not fair at all to the Mods here. The rules have been setup and its what every organization or every forum has to ensure that the forum runs smoothly. Yes, u are right that the fighting and all makes the forum interesting and this forum is almost free to let you post anything you want to but once the Mods comes in here to clear the threads which have been filled with too much unwanted or not necessary posts , it is not fair that posters complaints of the job we do. Moderators would usually clear up a [articular thread once other posters have requested for it or they hit the Report to Mod Button.

How would you feel when you set up the rules saying no fighting, no bad words, no bashing and someone started the fights/bash and you do nothing about it cause you think that it makes your forum interesting and sooner or later, everyone takes your authority and your rules for granted cause they know that you are being too leniant?

I believe Mod's have been more leniant than enough and so is Seun but the leniancy do not have to go to that extreme.
