Finally finished The Help [2011] and it wasn't a bad movie at the end.

Very touching & moving stories, a bit of dry humour, some memorable lines and that's all cos the movie never really got interesting. 

Definitely not the kinda movie you go see at the cinema as it's better watched at home

After all said and said. . .the ratings, reviews and hype were over-flattering IMO undecided

5.5/10

@ Ceejay80
^^^Or BB pins too. I've thought of it but MAJORITY will still use the PHONE NUMBERS so lets start with that first and see how it goes

Anyway, human (mod) action will still be required & that's why I'm advocating for the mods to be given the power to ban so they can deal with the Phone Dealers who outsmart the spambot

dragnet: About tagging 'common words', that isnt easy cuz there isn't really any distinct 'common word' which can be associated with such threads and if there's none, machine cant work. . So it all bores down to 'human action'. . The mods.
N101: I agree. If it came down to common words some ordinary posts could be blocked and there would be even more problems. Human action and antispam bot can work well together, but the humans have to keep their eyes open and not just rely on technology to do their work for them.
I beg to disagree. It isn't easy and ordinary/innocent posts MAY (the spambot as it bans people indiscriminately so what the heck?) be blocked but it'd greatly curb the posting of the Phone Ads in this section and restore sanity to the board.

Take a glance at all the Phone Ads posted and you'll notice something common to all of 'em. . .a PHONE NUMBER for interested buyers/sellers to get in touch with the OP..

My suggestion is thus: (1) A thread should be created (by the Admin himself cos this would carry more weight) to tell people to post their Phone Ads in the Phone/internet Market Sub-section and not here and warn them of the consequences of not complying (2) Program the spambot to knock off all (new) threads posted in this section in which PHONE NUMBER(S) are dropped to the Phone/Internet Market and also automatically ban the posters & (3) Empower the moderators with the power to ban (in this section ONLY) people who deliberately flout the rule and somehow escape the spambot and post their Phone Ads here.

In cases where the spambot bans posters, the ban message should read something like ''You have been banned for posting a Phone Ad in the Phone Section. If this is a mistake send a mail to antispambot@blablabla.com or report to the moderator'' so I suggest the moderators of this section are also given the power to unban as well so the Super Moderator and Admin don't get overworked. cool

The mods will continue to move completely off-section topics to the boards they ought to be and carry out their other mundane moderating functions.

[size=5pt]If the above measures are not implemented and a new mod is just appointed, he'll do initial ''gra gra'' at first but get tired l8r cos frankly he can't be ONLINE always and he'll eventualy get overwhelmed cos the rate at which these Phone Ads are posted is alarming.[/size]

Just my free 2 kobo

honsule: I concur.The flooding of Advert of bb for sale,etc is alarming on fone section.Same pple kept posting over and over again.I locked/moved threads until i was exhausted Angry Angry Angry Grin Grin Grin
The solution suggested by my co-mod(Semid4lyfe) is germane and welcome by me.
But in case we need additional mod,i will like to suggest "Dragnet".The guy has survive "rainy n dry season" on phone section and He is consistent and dogged chap on this section8)
Mahn, no be small thing o. When I first became a mod, my battery dey fully charged, blood was boiling & red hot and I bin dey do ''gra gra'' dey move the threads sharply but e nor tey before I tire cos frankly no mod can keep up cos of the alarming rate at which the Phone sale/buying threads are been posted.

I then adopted a siddon look attitude for this section and concentrated my attention more on the other board I co-moderate.

A new mod is very welcome but he won't make much of a difference unless there is zero tolerance for the POSTING OF PHONE ADS IN THIS SECTION AND IT IS ENFORCED FORCEFULLY BY BANNING SUCH OFFENDERS. With time, all men go comply and post their phone ads in the right section. . .The Phone/internet Market childboard.

Hmm. . . different strokes for different folks.

Someone (in real life) once told me The Expendables [2010] was a very good film and My Name is Khan [2010] & The King's Speech [2010] were dry grin
TV/Movies › Re: Mirror Boy Makes Over N12million In First Week! by semid4lyfe(m):
blank: Movie is only worth watching on Wednesdays when it is N600 and even then, i would rather buy a pack of rice. The movie is even more boring than normal Nollywood movie. I felt so cheated when i watched it.
Really, the Cinemas should have some standard and shouldn't be an all comers/every producer/every movie affair. Too many mediocre and wack films (Nigerian & Foreign) are shown at the Cinema these days.  eg Mirror Boy, Dangerous Men, that Stephanie Okereke film about a baby etc

Small time, Funke Akindele go do ''Jennifer Reloaded'' and take it to the cinema. . . .Nonsense tongue

Just like how they were ONLY able to wipe a rag-team Super Eagles team 1-0 in SA 2010 with a goal that should have been disallowed and how they wiped all the teams with vexation to win the Copa America this year shey? tongue

Shioor!

blank: Why are we playing in Bangladesh? Do they play football there? Thought they had civil unrest there. Na wa o.
Na cricket be their no 1 sports for that side (South-East Asia - Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Indonesia etc) and football doesn't haven't a large following and isn't as popular, so the game is being played there to attract more interest and promote the game in that region. ie Argentina will be on a week long South Asian tour and have a friendly on September 2 in Kolkata, India before playing us on September 6.

Can't say I'm surprised. I mean, who no one see Messi, Aguero, Tevez etc grin


Enyeama, there is work to do. Hope you are playing first team football now because Messi is on fire
Abegiiii, make I hear word jare. You forget Messi becomes impotent immediately he dorns the Blue-White strips of Argentina? cool
TV/Movies › Re: Mirror Boy Makes Over N12million In First Week! by semid4lyfe(m):
Hmmm. . ,  .haven't seen the movie but from the little I've seen from the trailer, it's a substandard movie and the acting was definitely not it. ie The scenes where the fat white boy was making fun of Genevieve's son, the fight between them, where Genevieve's son was slapped in the Market in Gambia etc all looked fake and unconvincing to me cry


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0p3WjSD-tLs

Hell, even Aki's ''false'' bad tooth & dentition looked totally ridiculous and laughable to me. . . result of bad make-up IMO. Only thing real and convincing to me (from the trailer) was Genevieve's crying and tears and that ain't surprising as na Nollywood actress she be grin

All in all, the trailer does not inspire and motivate me to go watch it @ the Cinema or buy it when it's released on DVD. . .and this is what a trailer is supposed to do

Lastly, why did Obi Emelonye write, direct and produce the movie? Does he have a problem with the concepts of ''division of labour'' and ''professionalism''? sad

As far as me dey concerned, na typical Nollywood movie shot (in London & Gambia) with high-definition equipments and made with better technology than most Nollywood productions but the acting and performances get big comma

Nothing spectacular about the movie and it's definitely not worth a visit to the cinema is my humble opinion


Oya, make una begin bash me, label me unpatriotic and dey call me names tongue

Hmmm. . . .this section has been overtaken by Phone Sales & Buying threads/adverts. . .despite a section created solely for the posting of such threads and repeated warning by the mods for such peeps to desist from posting the threads here.

My suggestions:
Set the spambot to automatically ban the posters and knock off all Sales & Buying threads/Ads to the Phone/Internet market child-board. This can be done by tagging certain words or strings common to all such threads into the spambot.

In cases where such threads escape the spambot and the posters are not automatically banned, the Admin & Super moderator should ban the posters with the reason for their ban clearly stated. ie ''For posting a phone ad in the phone section instead of in the Phone Internet market child-board''  

^^^^A really hard line has to be taken otherwise it'd be business as usual.
