Seun, also there is this boy that have been manipulating the forum statistics by creating on average of 5 monikers daily just to troll others.

We have called your attention to that for years yet nothing has been done

It's fine to deter space bookers. However, one or 2 words might just be all you need to drive home the point.

My Fellow Nairalanders,

We have implemented a minimum post size of 40 characters in order to improve our content quality. We want people to patiently compose substantial replies before hitting the submit button. Based on your feedback, we may increase or decrease the limit in the future.

We have also extended the blocking period between members to 3 weeks, because many Nairalanders felt that the previous duration was too short.

Our automated system for dealing with spam and toxicity is now much smarter than it was in the beginning. It's now much less likely to take action against innocent posts. Alas, it is still far from perfect, so please be patient with us as we strive to make it more perfect.

I want to believe that the Test cases and scripts for this deployment are not particularly comprehensive, bcoz various/extensive scenarios are not tested. The issues and evidences are there for all to see.

It is not by the length of post but the quality and content. Most intelligent and impactful comments are short and simple. I wish you reconsider this rule otherwise you're inviting more garbage instead of substance.

Very true. I am now even wary of quoting people because of bans from the bot

We need an appeal team,what’s the essence of banning an account for 20 years without the choice of appealing
I have always raised this issue. Since people are supposed to interact here, therefore conflict must arise. And therefore it must be necessary to have a conflict resolution board (court)

Hi Seun

The three week extension is welcome.

Please consider making the block button optionally permanent.

The minimum post size does not make any sense.

People will now be typing rubbish just to meet it.

You re not increasing content quality, you re decreasing it.

You should be happy because those responses were probably toxic attacks that came with bans 😀😀😀
Re: The 40 Character Minimum And Other Forum Updates by Bimpe29(m): 2:03pm On Jun 19, 2025
The 40 characters standard might be discouraging and making the content less attractive. Some replies are just two or three letters words.

PROTEST!!!

How you block someone that has been addicted to the forum for 3 week?

It should be for 3 days and 2 nights only, so that members won't need to open different account.
