₦airaland Forum

Westves:
@seun I'm walking on eggshells now. Even after my ban expiration, all topics were still locked. Is the forum now gearing towards a readonly model?

Look at the first line in your post.

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.

chatinent:
Why is this on the Islam section and not on the Christian section, Seun?
Equity please.

Madam I am trying to make everybody happy. Please relax and trust that our goal is a Nairaland that works for every Nigerian.

We have implemented:
- More strict moderation.
- Removing of religious oaths.

My idea for money is simple. Each of us will donate an equal percentage of our income to the family account. If I put 50% of my salary there, she'll also put 50% of her salary there. If I put in 20%, she puts in 20%. The rest is hers and mine. There will also be a prenup such that if there's a divorce only the properties bought with the family account will be equally divided. Her personal money will still belong to her. Mine too.

Maybe I might switch to Quora when I leave nairaland... At least I won't be reminded every minute of how I'm a foreign national and not welcomed there.

As the host of this party, I hereby do declare that you are welcome here.

You're now allowed to post in the Islam section to debate respectfully with Muslims without swearing that you're a muslim. Is that not progress? Why can't you celebrate the progress that we have had?

Very colourful and interesting. What will it look on the desktop?

GloriousGbola:
some peoples sole purpose of being here is to troll. that is literally all they do. we have always had them. but back in the day they were still entertaining. this generation are very very toxic and some are actually psychotic

Why not report them?

emmyN:
Are the Christians happy with it? Someone makes a post on the occultic or some fetish practices, but the post is under the 'Christianity Etc' board. It doesn't tell well. Keep it as Religion.

You will always dominate the section because there are so many of you

Everyday247:
Seun is this the end of "others" (non Abrahamics) on Nairaland?

We are now Etc

Hmmm, I'll have to think about it. For now, please use the Family Section or the Health section depending on what you're discussing.

nnewsnjobs:
In addition:
However, the requirement to engage Christians with decency and respect remains.

Absolutely. You must engage every Nairalander with decency and respect. I think we are able to enforce this now.

sagitariusbaby:
you are still very much biased. Why are you placing Islam above Christianity? Why is Islam standing alone while Christianity is merged with other religions? Worst still you are pretending like you don't know there are several Traditionalist, atheist and occultic people here, yet you topped them all with Christianity. You had better do the needful and stop this religious stupidity.

I am an atheist. So I am part of the Etc, and it doesn't bother me. I'm happy to use the Christianity Etc board to rub minds with Christians.

FreeSpirited:
Muslim go hear am from me
.
Make I first finish these two books I dey read about the evils and agenda of Islam. Una go cry for this Nairaland

E go shock you.

Dear Nairalanders,

By popular demand, we have ended the swearing of oaths before commenting on the Islam section.

However, the requirement to engage muslims and all Nairalanders with decency and respect remains.

We have promoted the Islam section to the top level because Islam is as important as Christianity..

We have renamed the Religion board as the Christianity Etc board, recognizing the fact that most non-Muslims are Christians.

Please enjoy! And feel free to share your feedback about these changes.

Geofavor:
@Seun, why do you keep ignoring this?

We can do this now.

meobizy:
I’m only happy that front page comments don’t devolve into inane bashing. I can sit down and enjoy different viewpoints to topics. The last time someone enjoyed that was pre-2015.

You're welcome.

Have Trumpists started to see the light?

Dear Nairalanders,

I want to thank you for your continued feedback and patience as we tackle the crisis caused by our decision to use the antispam bot to enforce more rules on Nairaland. While the action helped us to tackle many chronic issues, it also led to disastrous ban of hundreds of innocent Nairalanders. To significantly improve accuracy, the bot will avoid moderating complex issues that require human nuance.

While we work on further improvements, here are some tips to ensure your posts don't accidentally trigger the bot:
- Keep your posts related to the thread topic.
- You can disagree strongly with fellow Nairalanders, but do not insult them.
- Don't put any type of obscene content on Nairaland.
- Do not encourage or call for violence against anyone.
- Don't spam or try to scam Nairalanders. We will not tolerate this.
- Don't illegally upload or post links to illegally download copyrighted music, movies, games, or software.

We believe these changes are a significant step towards a better balance.

Thank you for being part of Nairaland.

Best Regards,
Seun Osewa.

Is it possible to make the forum generate topics through an algorithmic order so that the registered user is only bombarded with topics he cares about rather than those someone else thinks is important for the user to view?

vine4god:
I just can't understand how I was banned despite the fact that I hardly comment except on few occasions.

Sorry. Bots dey do just anyhow sometimes. We are fine-tuning things.

JAPAHTML:
My children will be far from Religion but they will know God

Religion created God

RightChannel:
Seun, should we leave your forum for you and your mods to operate? Any short comment na ban, why

We have pushed an update that should solve at least 30% of the problem.

Dear Nairalanders,

In an effort to address persistent complaints about toxicity on the forum, we extended the mandate of the anti-spam bot to try and tackle insults, tribalism, obvious scams, etc.

While this move dealt a heavy blow to bad actors, the bot also made many mistakes which led to innocent people getting banned from time to time for no good reason. I understand how you feel about this. It is simply not acceptable.

We have reduced the length of the bot bans from up to 3 days to no more than 30 minutes. We are also working to massively improve the accuracy of the bot. Meanwhile, if you are mistakenly blocked, please don' take it personally. We will fix it as soon as we can.

Best Regards,
Seun Osewa.

The AI needs to be smarter.

They were saying I wouldn't do anything and when I finally did something they didn't acknowledge it and just moved on to attacking me for doing something.

Rebelutionary:
You just spilled the minds of most Nairalanders!

Doesn't Seun see all the threads that have been penned here on how to sanitizer and improve this place?

When he is ready we will know, but for now to me, this is all smokescreen!

I'm trying my best. This bot is an attempt to deliver on your concerns about Nairaland being a toxic place. But you just keep attacking poor me.
