Long overdue.
If this is properly enforced, there will be more positive contributions
while the e-warriors will be reduced to reading and liking comments.

Wow, you are actually right! I just saw this in my inbox:

However, you didn't express yourself the right way. You just broke rule 2 and rule 20. Too bad. 🤷‍♂️

HydraFeeds:
but when Seun said he had brought him back ,the next day homepage was filled with Obi’s post and anti APC’s posts .

The only difference between him an Mynd44 is that the latter airs his opinion on politics once in a while and once declared he’s Yoruba that studied at OAU while the latter does not comment on posts and always post snakes .

Fellow Nairalanders,

We have noticed the use of ethnic slurs and other derogatory names by a small but persistent group of political actors and trolls.

This practice of derogatory name-calling adds no value to the forum. It's bad for our mental health, our harmony as a community, and the reputation of Nairaland. It's simply toxic. It's absence and the absence of the people who use those slurs will not be missed.

Therefore I have decided to ban the practice entirely. I have instructed dominique, mukina2, Lalasticlala and Mynd44 to ban anyone who uses an ethnic slur or derogatory name on Nairaland. The antispam bot will also contribute to the effort. Please report any case that you see.

90% of your comment on Nairaland is tribal, So why are you acting like you are a saint here?

This was your last comment few minutes ago before this thread.

stepaside2:
Good move Seun but I wonder if this is not coming too late. Nairaland has wide readership and followership and moulds opinions. Things shouldn't have been allowed to degenerate to this level. That said, better late than never. You will keep DSS and other security agencies at bay too. Best of luck!!

Seun sack mynd44! He is too biased to be a moderator.

No RULE was broken here. IT is very incorrect of you to say that!

I have been a veteran member of NL for 18 years now with another NL account, and I belong to an older generation which used IBO in ALL our daily interactions, school books and in newspapers and other publications. I have newspapers published after the year 2000 in my archives that used the spelling IBO. It was after the year 2000 that we started seeing the other "Igbo" spelling, but I'm used to USING the spelling IBO. NOTHING DEROGATORY HERE. I assume you are younger in age and this is the reason why you do NOT realise these historical FACTS.

The recent Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary also still uses "[b]Ibo" as an alternate to Igbo. IBO is the STANDARD Anglicised format still used in publications today, so, you have to update your knowledge there.[/b]

Even in Chinua Achebe's books that we read back in the day, [b]IBO was used even right up to those published around the year 2000.
If it was wrong to use the spelling IBO, many of your kinsmen and Achebe would have bluntly refused to have the spelling "Ibo" in all their literature books of the 1800s to after the year 2000. [/b]

Davash222:
I'll advise you remove Myndd from the enforcing team cos he/she will only ban people from a particular region.

I am seriously disappointed it took you almost 8 years to address this issues.

Says the number ONE tribalistic man on earth.

Oya, am waiting for you to remove this comment and ban me as u av said.

The truth is always bitter.

Tomorrow you will also come with another apology letter beginning with "Dear Igbo People".

verybadmouth:
Why ban them when they can always create new accounts. Just make it mandatory to link your NIN or BVN to your nairaland account. With that you can easily curb scam and catch people that use hate and tribal speeches. Simple

Seun:

I honestly forgot. The main thing I was trying to say is that she stopped working with us in 2015. I had to check my e-mail to confirm it.

Tulumbu:
asking for his sack is like asking for the sun not to shine tomorrow

Corridon:
I'm not Fahdiga. He is my friend. Do you support the injustice meted out to him?
