Hi Seun, Here Is A Suggestion For Tackling Gory News Headlines On Your Frontpage by Passionet(op): 4:17pm On Mar 08, 2023
Hi Seun.

Your forum is the most popular site in nigeria and it gets visits from every demographic and age. Even kids visit your forum as there is no age restriction, even when it comes to creating accounts.

If you put this in mind, why don't you find a way to mask those gory headlines your moderators push to the frontpage? Maybe you can mask the headline with a red color, a warning, and add 18+ to it. Not everyone has the stomach to even read an headline like that. The world is full of evil but we don't want you to push it to our face.

I don't see these kinds of headlines on Reddit or other popular forums and they are doing so well.
Those headlines do nothing to inform, only destroys the mood of people, and i know i'm not the only one in the boat.

For those who love to see and read those type of info, they can navigate their way to the Crime thread.

Because of this, i created the Violence Blockerchrome extension which blocks all of those nasty headlines.

I wouldn't have to do that if you could try to hide those headlines away from the front page. It also shows how barbaric our country is, which is not always the case.

What do you think about this Mr Seun?
