₦airaland Forum

LegendHero:
I don’t agree. I believe it will make Nairaland more of a propaganda website going forward and no one will be able to do instant fact checking.

I can block every known Obidient I know and then proceed to create multiple slanderous post every day with no one to counter me in the real sense.

Then everyone will be living in their own small bubble.

But it’s what Seun wants, I will have to adjust.

Seun:
Dear Nairalanders,

We have just activated a feature that allows you to block people who harass you for a period of time (currently a week).

When you block someone, you will be automatically blocked back by that person, so you won't be able to see each others' posts.

When the fixed period is over, you will both be released automatically, giving you another chance to treat each other better.

The admin, super-moderators, and moderators cannot block people or be blocked.

To block someone, visit the person's profile and click on the [ Block ] button shown below:

Enjoy your new power. But remember that you're also blocking yourself.

pocohantas:
So you haven't blocked me?
Of course I wasn't expecting you to.😂

Your mouth was running that day, "if I can block, I will block you". See block button now, you done dey type epistle.

yarimo:
R.I.P in advance to nairaland

ThothHermes:
Now I know you love me.
There are physical bullies, and then there are psychological bullies. You are the latter. It's still not working though. It never has, and never will. 😜

R.I.P in advance to nairaland

Imka:
Can you just fire the sadistic and biased mods you have employed. They are ruining your forum and you act like you can't see it. Why do you permit some agbado munchkins like helinues and his gang members, menace's that are destined for hell to litter every new page with their agbado fueled drivel??
I really thought you were a visionary but you lower the bar every day

pocohantas:
In the attached screenshot is my response to someone who insinuated unmarried women in their 30s were prostitutes in their 20s. The response in same screenshot was you! You were not the original poster, you just jumped in to release your venom.

Now tell me what part of my post was provocative in comparison to your response?

2) The second screenshot is your next response to me asking you to report me if I go against forum rules.

Pray tell, who is the problem between you and I? Ranchoddas aka Thothhermes, use the block button ooooo! Seun has finally given it to us!

ThothHermes:
Please what do you want really?
An apology?
An admission of wrongdoing?
Tell me because I don't know what to tell you anymore.

Apology for what? I want you to block me o. Keep your words. Block me. This was your post.

ThothHermes:
Ah.
Na wa o. I no wan block you again na.
I've forgiven your sins. Old things are passed away.
You have lost the the ability to trigger me, rendering blocking you redundant. I've moved on, you do the same instead of acting like a jilted lover.

I've blocked Kobo, from tomorrow straight blocking for helin.ues and all the bigots whose posts I stumble upon.

MorataFC:
Ghen-gen
Blocking them hides their posts from us, making it hard to know their stance and making it impossible to correct them.
I would prefer a 'dislike' button to their posts over blocking, so we can see their views and respond accordingly.

pocohantas:
Heyaaaa.

franchasng:
Dear Seun, they are gradually pushing you towards self destruction of your forum oh

This is a public forum, this blocking feature will kill the fun of the forum. A forum is not a private space where people come to seek for solitude or privacy, it's a public space for sharing diverse opinions on issues of life.

This feature is not needed on the forum, if I am to advice you, shelve the idea asap.
Add dislike button.
If it is possible, let the comment that gets the highest number of likes or upvote be automatically moved to the first comment after the original post.
And then consider monetization of old accounts' posts and threads

pocohantas:
Na man you be!

I want to pay for one year subscription.
How much, sweet Seun?

Cococandy my love, have you seen this?

Seun, come take a hugggggg!
