Many Muslims don't like rule 17.

BarryX: Try Removing that Long list of the New post ! It makes commenting boring not that people read anyway cos I don't! If the rules are not new why the emphasis ! Still not impressed but it's your thing .. Do it the way you deem fit

I understand that it's inconvenient to have to scroll through the rules before each post, especially on mobile phones. This will be fixed soon.

calm9090: And rule 17?

freechat: I must say am disappointed.

I am very sorry about this.

Debroslink: How about effecting this rule on all religions especially Christianity?

It limits your freedom of speech. We do not want to limit your freedom of speech unless there is a very serious reason to do so.

slap1: We don hear.

sandra@4:
Ok

Thank you.

My Fellow Nairaland Members,

Your mixed reactions to the "new" rules have not gone unnoticed. While most people actually liked them, many people had one complaint or the other. To address your concerns, I have modified rules 1,4, 13, 15, and 21. I believe you will be pleased with the changes: https://www.nairaland.com/1026/nairaland-forum-rules-regulations

These rules are not as new as many people think. They are essentially the rules we have been enforcing all along, but they have been expressed in a more compact form to encourage you to actually read them. I created the 1st draft on the 7th of April and my fellow moderators gave me a lot of feedback which I incorporated into the rules before publishing them yesterday.

[s]Rule 17 is the most controversial rule because it sounds unfair. My fellow moderators have debated this rule at length and it could not be changed. We cannot extend the prohibition against offence to other religions because that limits your freedom of speech, and we cannot remove that rule without jeopardizing security and the safety of lives. Sorry about this.[/s]
