What features do your office mates want to see more than anything else? If it is the UI, what are your colleagues looking for exactly? Thanks.

Please create the block button 🙏🙏🙏

What will the block button do?

Solitechworld:
Change the Nairaland UI, Seun... The current one is too boring. We're no longer living in the 2000s.

We are taking things one step at a time.

Hi. seun,

Please what is/are your plans for those who now specialize in using nairaland mainly for begging purposes. If you take note, its getting worse by the day. Many more are becoming embolden to try it because nothing was done to cautious such attitude. I knew one guy here who has operated over 100 accounts with same pictures or same story line.

This is necessary to sanitize nairaland.

Regards

please share 2 or 3 recent examples

Dear Nairalanders,

For years, people have been alleging that Nairaland is a toxic place where people insult each other and exhibit uncontrolled tribal bigotry. So after my last thread, we decided to follow through by extending the mandate of our anti-spam bot to include dealing with toxicity.

Unfortunately, the roll out wasn't smooth: many innocent members were unjustly banned. We apologize profusely for this. We will keep tweaking the bot to make it more accurate. Meanwhile, please reach out to the mods and supermods if you are unjustly banned.

Hit me with your suggestions and complaints.

Truths9ja:
oga seun , please what of the duration of banned moniker. Please kindly review the ban to 6 months or 1 years please. Banning a Nairaland username for 10 years is much please. And there should be a room for Appeal too. Kindly review it sir. Thanks 🙏🏻

What was the reason for the ban?

Ajibade123:
You make posts like this every year and end up doing both

We have ramped up the aggressiveness of the anti-spam bot and broadened its mandate. It will in addition to looking out for spam, also look out for violations of rule 1, 2, 3 and other important rules.

Is it accurate to say that more aggressive moderation of toxic posts that are insulting, rude, off topic, ethnically prejudiced, etc) is the most important first step that we need to take to make Nairaland better? Like this post if you agree.

Hello Guys,

I'm throwing this question to you because it's very important. Every time I ask, "how is Nairaland?" I'm told that it is fine. If I ask what are the challenges I'm told there are none.

So I need to talk to you guys directly about what you think is going on and what you want us to do. I have not had the confidence to make major changes on Nairaland. I have a little confidence now because of AI.

What are your complaints, your challenges, your issues. What are the things that can drive people away and need to be nipped?

Speak your mind, but don't be rude. Thanks.

April Fools. Gotcha

I had a long phone chat with an old friend of mine who I previously had a public falling out with. We agreed to disagree about religion and family life, and promised each other not to allow our differences of opinion to be a stumbling block to our friendship anymore.

We also committed to doing business together. I will buy a beautiful duplex from his company and consult them when I need to travel. He will buy 7.5% of Nairaland at a very attractive valuation and become a director of our company so that we can benefit from his vast experience.

It feels so good to be on good terms again! I urge you to follow our example if you're currently not on good terms with any old friend.

MAXIMIZING PERSONALITY DIFFERENCE FOR MARITAL SUCCESS

"...and the two shall become one flesh" - Ephesians 5:31

Marriage brings together two different people from different backgrounds, but it does not automatically align their differences.

Everyone is unique and has their way of doing things. However, in marriage; where two become one flesh, reaching a mutual consensus is essential to maximizing these individual differences for marital success.

MIRRORING THE TRUE LOVE OF CHRIST

Despite all He went through while on earth, His love never wavered. Now, sitting at the right hand of God, He still solicits for us and cares like never before.

Christ's love is ever-forgiving, persevering, and eternal. How about a marriage that mirrors that kind of love?

To: All Nairalanders
Subject: Clarification post regarding defamatory post published by third-party user on the Nairaland forum

We wish to address the recent defamatory thread/post titled “Sex racketeering in Lagos State Civil Service and abuse of power in LRS Stamp Duty Office”, which was published on the Nairaland forum on September 6, 2024, by a third-party user of the forum, BiancaMills, with email address biancamills2323@gmail.com.

Upon review, the thread/post was found to contain defamatory content concerning a certain Mr. Michael Adeniyi. The forum’s moderators acted promptly to remove the post upon recognizing its inappropriate nature.

We would like to clarify that the Nairaland forum has nothing to do with the said post, nor is it supported by the forum.

Additionally, the Nairalander/user responsible for the post, BiancaMills, has since been banned and removed from the Nairaland forum for violating community guidelines.

We deeply regret any inconvenience caused to Mr. Michael Adeniyi as a result of this incident.

We appreciate the understanding and cooperation of all Nairalanders.

Thank you.

Do people still use this?

How can I pay for advert since Dec 18th and till now it has not been acknowledged. Advert was approved but payment not confirmed and thus advert was not placed.
There is no one to raise a complaint to... What is going on?

Please call the hotline.

He is probably diabetic. It makes it difficult for wounds to heal.
He needs to go to the hospital immediately or he will lose the foot.
He should also be on antibiotics and aggressive diabetic drugs.
Rush this man to a hospital if you don't want to pay for his wheelchair.

Good Evening Seun.
My dog has refused to mate with any female dog. He just sniffs them and follows them around but gets aggressive when the female gets close to him. He practically runs from them. Please how do I curb this? He’s 2 and has never mated

Give them more time to socialize as friends.

Hello Guys,

How would you summarize the current state of Nairaland, particularly for you/

Please be nice!

Beautiful but is it really house clearance?

Imagine if the Holy books could be updated? Like removing offensive verses that don't represent your religion anymore. For Christianity things like "(a woman) must be silent" and "Happy is the one who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks" could be removed.

Before the printing press, religious books were copied by hand. The scribes took liberties with the text all the time, often at the behest of their benefactors. That's why in the NIV bible you'll see footnotes showing that there are multiple versions of a bible verse.

Some entire Bible passages were added by creative scribes. The one where Jesus saves a woman caught in adultery is an example. It's such a good story right? This shows that altering scriptural texts can be beneficial. That fabulous story has definitely saved many lives.

So why can't we improve our Holy Books? 😃

100%? The Starlink Roaming tariff went from 49k/month to N167k/month. That is more than 200%

The specs of light in the photos are from the oil in Eucalyptus trees. They could easily end the wildfires by replacing the trees, which are highly flammable because of the volatile oil that permeates them, but they don't. The Australians are in exactly the same situation. It's utter madness that California and Australia keep fighting the oil fueled fires every year and risking lives instead of just getting rid of the accursed trees.

He is working. I'm glad that Tinubu allowed him to work in his second term. Ambode wasn't granted the same freedom.

SadiqBabaSani:
Happy New year Seun,

As CEO of this forum, we intend to know what positive plans you have this year for NL to move forward.

What are the new initiatives you have earmarked for the largest people's forum in Africa 🌍

I want to hire more people. Whatever plans I have won't work unless I hiremore people. I need DA, PA, Supermods, Ads folks, etc.

I couldn't resurge Nairaland all by myself.

😃😃
