₦airaland Forum

well done my sister. moved your thread to the right section.

Are we good here?

We have fixed most of the issues with the bot and the minimum character count.

Pootle:
kindly relax the ban too some topic you need to pour out the truth without withholding anything

It's difficult for the bot to distinguish between "acceptable" insults and unacceptable insults.

chatinent:
Not a diary.

A section in the profile called the user's wall where followers or others can comment on but only the user can post. A typical "what is on your mind" profile wall.

Interesting idea. Thanks. 🤔

My People,

In response to your feedback, we have substantially relaxed the minimum post size requirement. It is now enforced only where it is needed. Long chat threads are no longer affected.

Do enjoy your day!

NothingDoMe:
I disagree. You cannot improve quality by insisting on quantity. Some of the most meaningful words I have read here are not up to 40 characters.

It's a nudge in the right direction. I've seen it being used on the Economics subreddit. It is very risky for us because discouraging people who have nothing to say may not necessarily move people who have something to say to fill the gap.

Kukutente23:
Why cant I mention Muhammad or Muslims in a post but a Muslim account like AntiChristian can mention Jesus and Christian in his post?
Why are you biased against Christianity?
Did Jesus offend you

You have just mentioned Muhammad and Muslims. Nothing happened. Just avoid making insulting and inflammatory comments.

casualobserver:
All anyone has to do and have done to get around your poorly though through rule is to type for example:
“Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxx” after a post that requires a short reply.

If only 50% of Nairalanders obey the spirit of the rule, it will still be an improvement.

MrSly:
Tinubu is the president of nigeria who has performed very poorly so far, though not to my disappointment as I expected it before hand.

This is a criticism of Tinubu. It was not blocked.
However, I have seen examples where very aggressive anti-Tinubu posts were erroneously blocked.

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.

- Seun.

Tightpussy2024:
Oh please spare me that .
A MALE nairalander and I exchanged words,he gave me 1.5 month ban then the nairalander insulted me,I reported,he was given less than a day ban.
The moniker even came to gloat over me .
Says whose side he is on in this forum.of recent threads on women have been pushed to frontpage.

Seems when men get power,they don't mind misogyny posts trending on their platform if it grows the platform.look at Melon Musk na .if you like mute red pill jargons on your timeline on X,by fire by force it must still show .also YouTube .

He knows what he is doing.words targeted at women aren't censored

Sorry. Please name names. I will investigate.

logicalhumour:
recently I realized that with just a carefully written prompt, one can create those big tools we all use eg Google Analytics, of which I did! And it even feels better as I only have what I need (no useless features), lightweight, and fast! I used Deepseek BTW.

Creating software engineering tools for personal use is one of the most wonderful uses for vibe coding. The AI models are like us. They make a lot of little mistakes, which is unacceptable for tasks like code refactoring, but they can solve those tasks using precise & accurate scripts.

Omoawoke:
Everyone has been complaining but oga thinks he knows more than everyone.
I got banned today for nothing .

My post had the word “kill”

Next na ban

The bot doesn't like any kind of call for violence. Na so we see am.

Redoil:
nairaland bot deleted my comments yesterday

This comment. It looks toxic to me. Using the slur "Yoruba urchins" and what not.

AndroBlaze:
I seriously think that for some threads, especially threads like this that share knowledge, where the participants police and moderate it properly, the Bot should be disabled.

It's hyperactivity is just encouraging more of us to seek other channels where we can discuss these things freely.

I hear you. So sorry. Hope to find time.

A whole family wiped out within a minute. Rough. 😔

The bot believes that the family section is not for advertising. I think we will have to make an exception...

Over the weekend, we improved the accuracy of the bot. It should be less bothersome right now.

TimeManager:
seun has restricted the volume of images one can upload.


-Kiss the truth!

We will double the limit again

Fascinating Review, Brightgem.

Hello Guys,

Since AI is so hot right now, I thought we should have a thread about it on Nairaland.

Though I used AI for writing some boilerplate stuff(e.g.regex) and generating ideas, my AI coding awakening started when I asked DeepSeek to generate a todo list app using Pygame, which was not designed for that purpose, and it gave me working code. That's when I realised that AI coding was a big deal and it became my main interest. I soon discovered that ChatGPT o3-mini was more reliable and used it to practice coding.

My Favourite AI Coding Tools Today:

* Cursor and Claude 4: The smoothest agentic experience I've had. It writes, tests, debugs, and designs code smoothly and efficiently.

* Gemini 2.5 Pro on AI Studio: Best for making big changes and solving major issues after other models have failed. You just upload all your buggy code, tell AI Studio what's wrong with it, let it cook, and then download the fixed version. It can also optimize the code. It's free!

Two modes of AI coding:

* VIbe coding. You ask the AI to write the code, then you test it, then you keep telling it what to change until you're satisfied. If the AI gets stuck, you ask it to explain exactly how the code works and what seems to the root cause(s). Then you tell it to go after the root cause(s).

* AI-Assisted Coding: You write the code, but use AI to support you by suggesting ideas and code, reviewing your code, testing it, etc. AI-Assisted coding is much cheaper and more pleasant than pure vibe coding because you don't get into loops like AI often does when it's in charge.

AI-coding Tactic I'm currently Trying

* Meta Prompting: Write an AI prompt to create a ______ app. Ask me *repeatedly* about *everything* you plan to include in the prompt until you know *exactly* what I want. Then write it.

Please share which AI workflows are working for you and what you've built with AI.

Seun:
I believe that the antispam bot has been taking care of him.

The antispam bot was a little bit slow this morning.

Seun:
I believe that the antispam bot has been taking care of him.

The bot was on strike when I wrote this, but it has since resumed duty. The spammers had their 5 hours of freedom, now it's our turn.

naptu2:
He uses a different username every time, but that is the name that is attached to his bank account.

He constantly begs nairalanders for money and the name of the bank account that he asks people to pay into is Babatunde sikiru yisa. Search for that name on Nairaland and you'll understand what's happening.

I believe that the antispam bot has been taking care of him.

kpankpangolo:
Babatunde sikiru yisa is opening threads per minute these days. If one tries to report him, immediate ban. Seun, is this what Nairaland has devolved to?

Username?

Payporte01:
We go leave this forum for you seun
Since you nor wan work on your Bot, small post again Ban

Please bear with me. I am trying to figure it out. 😔

MrPresident1:
Seun, I cannot use the block button. It is not blocking anyone. Kindly attend to it. I think it has suffered a glitch.

Hmm. Ok I'll take a look.
