Badgers14:
Why does someone need to swear and agree to certain terms before commenting on a Muslim posts?

But this feature is not available in Christian posts?

Don't you think that there are non Muslim that would like to interact and engage with Muslim brothers and sisters, just like our Muslim brothers and sisters already are able to interact and engage Christians in their posts

Just increase the time one can block a disturbing moniker from 3 weeks to 3 months. 3 weeks is too small

Hello Nairalanders,

I'm Seun, the founder of Nairaland. Talk to me about what Nairaland is like for you. What's good and what's not so good right now.

I've been more focused on the backend and working on new features. It seems as if the moderation and other issues have fallen behind.

So, talk to me. What should we focus on in order to encourage you to start being more active on Nairaland?

PS: I have people dropping me messages presuming that Nairaland is over. What's that about?

Freshtruth:
if your comment generates 100 likes them 5k will be pay for each account

If anyone gets banned the bot should be able to tell the person that got banned the exact rule broken so that one will not make same mistake. Not just the you got banned cos of so so comment on so so post. One should know exactly the offence committed so as not to repeat the same thing.

Realjosephegh:
Dear seun

Please in addition to what other people have said
Comments with the highest likes should be shown above in order to filter the useless comments while the insightful ones with likes should comes first in order to make the forum more interesting thanks big bro.

Kingzjayzee:
I'm in total support of this 💯 percent. E no easy to write content and then the content makes it to the front page. Contributors should be rewarded. It's serves as a sort of encouragement to create more contents. I usually feel bad each time I devote my time to write quality contents and such contents make it to the front page and I don't get any reward for that. whenever I tell my sister, she laughs me to scorn. She will be like "while other are making cool cash from their contents, I'm busy doing charity work with mine". I feel so bad each time she says that. 😢

Moderation needs to up their game

One can't make a comment or express opinions without some people quoting one and being very abusive or calling one names. Especially in the politics section.

Also we seem to have a misogyny problem as well as to a lesser extent a misandry problem. So much hate for either sex. With people posting things like this gender are all harlots, this gender are all this or that.

Also one can't deactivate account, change user name or change emails. That's a big problem.

On the plus side, the block feature is very useful indeed.

Thanks

Daeveed:
Oga Seun. A serious UI change of Nairaland will be great improvement. I don't think there has been any facelift since I started to use Nairaland.

Try to imagine Facebook, Whatsapp or Instagram still maintaining the same look since they started

Make it possible for authors to delete unwanted comments and original threads.

absoluteSuccess:
Thanks for your idea for this great site.

I want to advice that you create a section for ATP (Africa's Traditional Practices) which encompasses our (founding fathers') traditional religion, wisdom, worldview and way of life.

Next, let Christian section be "Christianity", there shouldn't be any etc, create section for etc.

Someone said "your cup will soon be filled", I pray that his cup would be filled much earlier for whatever his wish is for you. No weapon formed against you shall prosper.

It beat my imagination the level of cowardice that makes you give Islam such "emirate" or overbearing level of treatment and protection on this platform. Does it still buy you their sympathy?

The religion and the worldviews of our father must be well studied, honoured and understood. Just as we respect every borrowed religion. They won't respect ours elsewhere more than we do that of others'.

Let every religion be represented with deserved refrence and put swearing an oath on everyone.

Gotocourt:
Active members needs to start making money 💯, We need live Oloshoes section

TheStoriesOfMan:
Supported. We need ATP threads. I'm an Odinani, so I and others need to be represented.

The expand icon should be on the far right with a different color

Please seun we can’t upload pictures again because of your bots and it’s making this place boring

TheBlessedMAN:
I am one of the writers in the Literature section of Nairaland. I am writing this to respectfully share a concern that has been on my mind for a while.

I was the first and, as far as I know, the only writer to reach 2 million views in the Literature section. (COUNTLESS, a story of sex betrayal and vengeance) . When I started writing on the platform, (back in 2017) the energy was very high. Readers were active, writers were motivated, and there was healthy competition for the top spot. It pushed many of us to give our best.

Unfortunately, things have changed.

The current treatment and support for writers is not encouraging. Many writers are losing motivation, and the strong competition that once made the Literature section lively is gradually fading away. It feels like the section is no longer receiving the attention it deserves


.
I believe the Literature section still has great potential if a few improvements are considered.

Here are some humble suggestions:

Feature outstanding stories regularly on the front page to give writers more visibility.

Bring back the monthly or quarterly awards for top-performing writers and stories.

Create pinned guides or support threads to help new writers grow and stay motivated.

Improve moderation in the Literature section to reduce spam and keep discussions quality.

Consider partnerships, contests, or reading challenges that can bring readers back and revive healthy competition.

Boss, many of us are passionate about writing and about the platform. We simply want to see the Literature section grow again and become vibrant like it used to be.

Thank you for your time and for building a platform that has helped many Nigerian writers find their voice. I sincerely hope our concerns will be considered.
Warm regards,


Modified. - here is the link to my ongoing story.

Dear Seun, your forum became very popular in the early because years because it was able to attract millennials who were intrigued by the idea of expressing themselves openly on an anonymous forum. Those millennials are now married and struggling with mid life crisis. Majority can no longer keep up with the forum.

Sadly, the forum has failed to attract Gen-Zs. Unlike millennials, these guys are not intrigued by the idea of posting on an anonymous forum. They were in the internet age and they grew up with using so many social media platforms. YouTube, Instagram, Twitter and Facebook all saw the problem and they all decided to monetize content creation. That is how they were able to attract and keep Gen-Zs. It’s time Nairaland starts monetizing content creation. If not, the forum may not survive the next 10 years.

On moderation, the bot is doing just fine. Yes, it can be better programmed to perform better. But overall, it has brought sanity to the forum. Don’t listen to those telling you to remove it.

Again, please don’t listen to those claiming to be political victims of the forum. Some people just like to claim to be victim but what they want is a total domination of the forum without any room for opposing views. Two of the moderators of the politics section who can push topics to the home page are supporters of Peter Obi. Still, they are the ones trying to tell you the forum is biased towards APC. So, what do they really want? All three moderators to be obidients? That must not happen. If possible, please develop an AI that can push threads to home page. That way, human bias will be removed from the process.

Finally, it’s create to create and deploy a Nairaland AI. Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp etc all have one. Searching for anything on the forum is just horrible. You can never get a near accurate result of what you’re looking for. With a Nairaland AI, the searching experience will be very improved.

Tadekun:
Your forum has been a place of zionist propaganda and you know this. A pit of islamophobic, misogynistic and most vile racist cesspit; pushing all manner of nonsense on the frontpage without any form of safeguards or filters. And I'm certain you know this. And this started after your website was taken down a few years back. Considerably. Your cup will be filled soon.
