₦airaland Forum

Ishilove: Deepsight has voluntarily taken a permanent vacation from Nairaland 'cos he can't stand and I quote "Seun's overbearing and tyrannical attitude".

Considering the ugly and abusive words he spewed before he left, I think he would be a far worse tyrant if he was the admin of Nairaland.

we also say moderation is voluntary,so why this rush to occupy the still warm seat

I think it's a joyful privilege to be able to serve the Nairaland community that we love so much. Most moderators also feel that way.

vedaxcool: WHO hide my post? This is purely being biased.

Your post was in violation of rule 2.

@manmustwac:

Seun: Yes, he did recommend pro-Christian topics occasionally, and many neutral topics

Logicboy03: You said that there was no christian which I corrected. Jesoul is a christian

Correction accepted. There was no active Christian.

Logicboy03: Untrue. Jesoul is a christian. Jesoul is a mod of the religion section (the only mod now)

Here's what I said:

Seun: The religion section moderator was an atheist.

ighoosagie: U re not an atheist

What are you talking about?

mcfynest: @ bolded pls obadiah777 and frosbel will be the best replacement.

Thanks for the recommendation. I hereby invite other Christian Nairalanders to make their own recommendations.

Here's the problem: Our supermod is a muslim. Maclatunji is a muslim. The religion section moderator was an atheist. I'm an atheist. No Christian!

Logicboy03: Lies....Manmustwacc also recommends Christian topics

Yes, he did recommend pro-Christian topics occasionally, and many neutral topics, but as an atheist, he is unavoidably biased against all religions. (I'm also an atheist, and I have the same bias). For example, he recommended the following topics for the home page:
https://www.nairaland.com/1100756 Why Are There So Many Churches And Yet So Much Wickedness And Corruption?
https://www.nairaland.com/1363681/religious-people-most-wicked-all Religious People Are The Most Wicked Of All Mankind
https://www.nairaland.com/1349991/what-black-mans-obsession-man What Is The Black Man's Obsession With This Man? [Jesus]

I'm sorry that you all hate my decision, but I will not reinstate manmustwac because that would be a stupid mistake on my part. I understand that I will be demonized and called all sorts of horrible names for this, but I'm now 100% sure that manmustwac deserves his removal.

My decision to appoint real Christian moderators was made a long time ago, because I noticed that the current moderators were contributing to the perception of pro-muslim bias because they refused to submit pro-Christian topics for the home page even on Sundays. Jesoul was inactive and manmustwac only seemed to recommend anti-Christian topics for the home page, so I've been planning to fix that.

After reading manmustwac's so-called explanation,
I am now 100% sure that I made the right decision.

He's not a good fit for my e-team, at the very least, &
it seems that he's deliberately trying to start a civil war.

@truthidlight: see your answers below
(1) I hereby call on Maclatunji to explain his reasons for hiding that post.
(2) When maclatunji gives his reasons, we will judge them with respect to the rules of Nairaland.
(3) When we have judged his actions, we will be able to answer this question.

Cuddlemii: Seun, what exactly has my name got to do with this section? What has my name got to do with whatever it is that you have going on with Manmustwac?

To answer your question, I believe I was told that you also threatened to abuse your mod powers, and you never disputed that claim.

@truthislight: can you restate the questions you are asking me in a clearer way so I can answer them? Thanks.

debosky: This is more than absurd. Do you sack employees before finding out why they said something or after you've spoken with them?

Suppose you have an employee who is a signatory to your corporate bank account. If such an employee threatens to bankrupt the company on national TV, I'm sure that your first action will be to revoke his access to your bank account. It is a pity that our software does not support taking away the power of a moderator without removing the moderator. Sorry.

musKeeto: You didn't inform him, did you?

I think he is aware that he has been suspended and I'm sure he knows why he was banned. You can PM him if you think he's not.

debosky: MMW's - seeing you're too busy to respond to his grievance, but not too busy to remove him summarily without consulting him on why he said what he did. Do you think anyone is buying these absurd excuses of yours?

I didn't remove him summarily. I took away his powers so they could not be abused. I could have given him back his powers if he contacted me afterwards and convinced me that he did not actually intend to harm the forum in any way, but he didn't do that, which is suspicious.

debosky: Have you addressed the root cause of his grievance?

The root cause of who's grievance?

[quote author=Chris†Kid]Why didn't you address the complaint [manmustwac] made in the moderator's section?[/quote](1) I'm busy trying to set up an office and hire people to take over my duties. He knows this.
(2) He created a thread but the thread was not addressed to me, so I didn't have to reply to it.
(3) He never contacted me directly as far as I can tell, so it's not clear that my opinion was required.

Deep Sight: He just had an Ayatollist reaction. He is a closet muslim fundamentalist.

Then why have I decided to appoint two born-again Christian moderators to take the place of manmustwac?

The jack.ass bedwetter still has not addressed the simple question as to why the peaceful request of chrstians over the years for their own space has been ignored ad infinitum...

The modern brand of Christianity is a very peaceful religion. It doesn't need to be hidden away in a safe place for the security of the forum. The same applies to all other religions apart from Christianity, which is why they don't have dedicated sections.

Alfa Seltzer: Sorry but I don't see how that is a threat to your forum.

Well I do. And I am not in the habit of waiting until our great forum has been damaged before dealing with threats. If a person is considered to pose any threat to the forum, such a person will not be allowed to wield the immense powers of a moderator. We have no tolerance for that.

Alfa Seltzer: You have yet to show us the threat.

He threatened to "take matters into his own hands" & "deal with" God-knows-what. I don't know what he is planning exactly, but we do not tolerate any threats against the forum made by people who are supposed to be the defenders and protectors of the forum. Most organizations have certain offences that are strictly prohibited and if you do them you will immediately lose your job.

Deep Sight: And the thousands of disgraceful actions of maclatunji do not deserve same?

Maclatunji's actions have had the effect of promoting the security of the forum and our non-muslim members. That's why I support him.

We cannot have moderators abusing their powers or threatening to do so. Once I don't trust a moderator, he/she is gone.

It's unfortunate that the removal of manmustwac has been upsetting to you folks. Clearly he was a beloved moderator. I apologize for my role in his removal. However, manmustwac knew exactly what was going to happen when he made that threat. He saw what happened to MsDarkSkin, Odunnu, & Cuddlemii. I think he deserves at least as much blame for his role in this situation. Moreso he hasn't asked me to reinstate him.

I understand the way you all are feeling. You feel as if the decision is pro-Islamist, but really it's not.

I have decided to appoint one or two born-again Christian moderators in this section to replace the atheist I removed.

Javanian is right.

This thread is now redundant since a warning is displayed on post pages.
