For example, a certain mugsmasher made death threats against another nairalander's child yet the admin did nothing about it and he or she is still free to post at will.

Likewise, a certain aloy emeka opened a thread to abuse others including myself yet when a similar thread was opened for him, the moderator made me understand my thread is haram while aloy emeka's is kosher.

In similar vein, platinumk was on a rampage yesterday accusing me of using Igbo on a thread. Her Igbo brother did the same but she had nothing to say about that.

Miichelin, another moderator, is quite fond of starting threads to attack others, she uses very disgusting language and insults to attack people on the basis of their tribes, but for some reason, she's celebrated on NL by her peers.

We also have a moderator who is fond of badmouthing a state yet he goes haywire when his own state is mentioned in a non-complimentary manner.

there's no empirical definition of justice in the Nigerian and Nairaland context, so its a word to be avoided here.

to many Nigerians and NLers, justice only means mob lynching. They're unaware of any other usage of the word and will get more confused with any attempt at explanation.

I'm not too sure about the report to moderator button which only seems to function depending on the whim of the moderator and admin.

debosky:

This is very simple - you've created a thread in response to one done by Aloy - both stand as long as the posters regard it as humorous. However, if it degenerates into fights, it'll be dealt with.

Nothing more - enjoy your thread.

Simply typing 'reported' does not help.

@ mukina

the posts and threads in question are elsewhere on the forum. Mugsmasher made another threat today in romance which I've reported again.

Debosky had some interaction today and informed me my own thread was haram because i was ostensibly insulting others but at the same time aloy emeka's thread which he opened to insult me, was kosher.  Threads are in racism and tribalism section.

Platinumk jumped on a post of mine yesterday because an Igbo Nler insulted me in Igbo and I replied in the same language. She ignored the aggressor and jumped on me instead.

Michelin is well known to most NLers and yes, she uses very uncouth and disgusting language (ie hate speech in every sense of the word) to attack other tribes for her personal reasons.

OMO IBO:

Do people actually use the 'report to moderator' button??

If yes, how effective is it??

I'm one of those who'd rather trash out whatever differences I have with anyone and keep it moving.
I do not give a flying bleep if they get hurt and how long the hurt lasts.

Although, i've never used the 'report to moderator' option/button (and I have no intention of doing so) it is obvious the mods only swing into action when their chums call for help or are getting mullered.

mukina2:

talk about what you know.
Must you make accusations to prove a point? that's if you have any?

The report to mod button works , lots of people use it, if you chose not to, i hope you wont create a thread to complain when you are being attacked and no mods sees it.

debosky:

Then everyone on NL must be my chum.

The sheer number of reports we deal with daily are a testament to the effectiveness of the method. If you choose not to use the tool, don't complain about it's effectiveness. Your 'opinion' is simply that and not based in reality.

OMO IBO:

Tpia doesn't look and/or sound like a bud.
No??

Oh no, the sheer number of reports you receive is as a result of people who do not know how to deal with defaulting members. Once they get wind of how 'effective' it is then you'd notice a change in their approach.

debosky:

So what? Has she mentioned those complaints of hers that I did deal with? People can come and complain - but only a simpleton would believe these are the only offending posts on the forum.

How do you know this? Are you somehow privy to what is reported and how they are dealt with? Your presumptive attitude is quite surprising. Somehow in your little head you know how and why the thousands of nairaland members report posts without evidence. Brilliant I tell you.
