You just try to sign into other forums and you'll see what I mean,try Reddit or quora ,they don't just provide 2 boxes for you to put preferred names and password with a shabby Gmail,they get your phone number,your location, even give you some aptitude tests,note your IP,get your real names and so on. That is why you rarely see perverted individuals bombarding such websites

Reddit don't have anything like that from you.

I haven't verify my email from Reddit and I have being posting with no issue, this is an anonymous forum.

WoundedLamb:


Your point is clear, the site is very basic and users are asking for more. I just want to add that Quora actually has its own dark side full of seemingly "perverted" individuals who aren't necessarily breaking any law or constituting threats to others (I mean the sexuality section). The app only shows you what you want to see. But like you said, it is more authentic and even such individuals still exhibit remarkable decorum when interacting with one another.

However, I believe the major difference between this site and the ones you mentioned is not necessarily the reg fields. Most of them still authenticate using email and anyone can easily create one (people have multiple accounts on Facebook too). The difference is the people ware (users and administrators). Nigerians are inconsiderate, unempathetic and somewhat hostile in nature. Forums like this just reveal these characteristics. The administrators here are easily overwhelmed and many of them (being Nigerians themselves) don't see certain things as unacceptable.

When a white man tries to protect people's mental health or advocate for the end of certain discriminatory attitudes against others, Nigerians say "oyibos and their funny ways". They somehow believe they are stronger but in reality, they're just normalizing being mean to one another.

Would like to read more on this line of reasoning.

Lol I know he would say something like that,he is not exactly the poster boy for good customer services

Didn't know he was contesting for that.

shogsman:
Just have a look at what an Hina being wrote in a platform that has thousands of women in it

If he heard said men would it have made you feel any better?

LMS1:

those guys are most disgusting sets of nairalanders and they often operate using Irregular monikers like: "Sghjhggbvffh"..
this makes NL sometimes too explicit to surf near a minor or public.
Boss you may need a special mod to ban or 'remove' those Illicit topics and threads once they are spotted..
And in case you've gat such vacancy just holla at me.
I can handle them to and solely to your terms.

Ah the negotiator, you deserve the Job.

shegzhkn:


Close down the fùcking site then.

Or do some cools that matters.

Sounding like hater here.

Make your suggestions and move on, if you leave nairaland today what do you think would happen?

Calm down and make necessary criticism.

Are you really trying to turn this sick comment into a gender war

I know there will certainly be some ignoramus like you that like to say things you don't know, there you go sir.you can't even upvote a comment without logging in on Reddit not to talk of comment

Go to Reddit and make an offensive comment and you'll be banned in seconds

For the purpose of this thread I tried to do a practical on what I've been preaching here so that many will understand what I mean when I say the online communities is fighting vigorously against cyber bullying and offensive comments.

So a friend of mine a ''DAMN FOOL'' ON TWITTER and in less than 60seconds without reporting Twitter took actions.
This is how to safeguard a community or forum with millions of users

Davidganna10:
Some times when I read old posts dated 10 to 12 years, I see mature, intelligent replies and conversation deviod of insult and tribal profiling. Then you tend to wonder what changed?. I strongly believe one reason majorly contributes to this appallingly situation.

Likes: the advent of likes or shares really poluted this space, don't get me wrong some of the liked comments are actually deserving but majority are hogwash, it have even generated to competition where the more inciteful and hateful comments you post, the more likes you get.

You're right bro..
The Old NL was really good.
Really don't know what happened..
Now Hate filled comments is the order of the day & gets the most likes.
Shame really.

Seun:
Why can't you resist the temptation to ascribe sinister motives to us as we face these challenges. Seun wants this, Seun only cares about that. How do you know? I'm used to criticism but to have lies told about my motives is much harder to handle and emotionally draining. Please stop doing this.

Sir,I think in cases like these (while you do the needful/corrections/upgrades) you do not need to say anything to anyone that may attract more criticism....... People will always have different ideas and opinions,most especially here on nairaland they will always criticize and make wrong conclusions trying to defame you or sth at times,I believe by now you should have gotten used to all this, I just joined this platform last year and I know all this so just ignore and do whatever you think will improve the site.

And meanwhile debunk anyone suggesting you take down the platform, I don't think that's the best solution as many people here love this site aside from the fact that it's the best so far in Nigeria,A lot of people depend on the site for their daily living...........
In conclusion,People will always criticize;they will always have different opinions...it's always like that especially here on Nairaland and the more you try to explain/defend yourself the more openings you create for them to get at you....You do have a good site but I'm also expecting to see some upgrades

shogsman:

You started it by making the gender the subject of your anger.

shegzhkn:

Closing the site is not a solution sir, it is only improvement that matters,it's not an easy feat but with serious effort I believe seun can do it

CamusMidas:

Listen to yourself speak please, I'm talking on a comment that is about raping women and you expect me to be talking about men,who does that pls.
The fact that that is all you can see from such a disheartening comments speaks a lot about your character sir

It is bewildering really,you see some comments and the amount of people that liked it and you just can't help but be baffled at how low people can really be

No need for the name calling, this is my unverified email address from 10 months ago that I am still using (that's an anonymous email).

Of course you have to login before you can use it, I said I using an unverified email to make use of Reddit and you are here gaslighting.

It is much easier to register a Reddit account compare to nairaland account.

kettykin:

Ok

You made a mistake by taking it too far,just admit it, apologize and move on, after all shit happens

No insult intended sir but Reddit registration process is way more complicated compared to nairaland

There are about a million things you can't do on the platform without verifying your email bro.

To start with there is no way you can post more than once every hour if you don't verify your mail, if you doubt me I'm ready to put your theory to test

Without verification if you forget your password or you have a little anomaly with your account it is game over

If I go there and insult Buhari would anybody care, or if I choose to be realistic would anybody even look at the comment twice.

Reddit is the number 1 social media in the world and you are comparing a vase diversified universe where you always have to be political correct to our very own forum where you see the real heart of your countrymen.

Comparing Reddit and nairaland, for what? Can you compare the number of Nigerians that nairaland has helped compare to your precious Reddit.

Yes I agree with you that someone changes are necessary but your recommendation shouldn't be just bitting from another platform without looking at all the variables involved. You always have to connect it back to your reality, because at the end of the day you and I are the customers.

What variables are you talking about exactly,there are thousands of Nigerians on Reddit.
This is the endsars protest group in Reddit with over 30,000 followers a whole lot more than threads here on nairaland and you're talking about helping Nigerians and speaking from Thier hearts,do you know how many people do business and depend on Reddit in Nigeria,and please what are they pouring out on Reddit if it's not their heart sir is it their spit.
I compared it to nairaland because there are alike in many ways,I suppose the only problem you have with it is because it's not Nigerian,well so is Facebook, Twitter and every other social media platforms on earth sir

And one more thing sir Reddit is not the biggest social media in the world, it's not even in the top 5,this is why I called you ignoramus, it was not to abuse you but to let you know you don't really know much about what you're talking about

Maybe just maybe NL is a reflection on the Nigerian society...
So many sick weirdos and NL and the internet in general seems to have given them the platform to pour out their diatribe.

Do you know how many people are presently online right now on nairaland and how many comment and topic are being created every second/minute compare to the merger Nigeria subreddit with 70 people online.

Very embarrassing, you are all about being right and all that but that's not what I about. If that would make you feel better, you won (whatever competition we having).
