Romance Section 2013 by Nobody: 12:25pm On Dec 28, 2012 |
Hello Everyone. . . I hope we all had a successful 2012, and that we are enjoying the holidays. Jaybee and I would want to thank you all for the level of cooperation we have received in making this section a better one, our hope/goal/aim is to make more changes in the Romance section come 2013. I'm glad we have found successful activities in the Mr and Miss NL competitions, the debates and The Wooing Challenge. There are places where the Romance section could improve, however. For starters? DECORUM! First, we must define the definition of Romance. Per Merriam Webster: romance (n): -a love story especially in the form of a novel -an emotional attraction or aura belonging to an especially heroic era, adventure, or activity -love affair romance (v): -to carry on a love affair with Per Dictionary.com: romance (n): -a romantic spirit, sentiment, emotion, or desire romance (v): -to think or talk romantically -to court or woo romantically As you can see, na lovey lovey stuffs. When I think of romance, I think of love. When I think of Nairaland Romance section, I think of love, marred by e-fights and insults and derailing. For what na? Enough of the hypocrisy. 1/3 of the world's population has internet access, so the people you meet here are not from mars. They are from around your locality and they are humans like you with emotions. So stop saying it is a faceless forum and that you cannot meet someone special from here. Love is a beautiful thing. . . This section had a fantastic 2012. Our goal is to further improve for a better and more successful year. That is why I am calling on all of you to be mindful of the responsibilities and expectations that come along with being a member of Nairaland. You cannot expect us moderators as well as Seun to keep this forum functioning by ourselves. Without members, there is no Nairaland. We need you. At the same time, we need you to be mature, amicable, and respectful of others' opinions. Yes, I am aware that nonsense threads pop up. However, there are a lot of people seeking genuine advice, especially in the Romance section. This section should be warm and inviting to other users, especially guests. We are talking about the busiest section in the biggest and most popular website in Nigeria I encourage all members to use the "Report to Moderator" button rather than fighting perceived "goats" on your own. No jungle justice on NL abeg. If you report a member, we will see it and respond in quick fashion. If you guys need a reminder of the rules, the rules we use when we dey ban una, aka our Bible, here are the links: [b] 1. Topics:[/b] Nairaland Romance Rules [b] You may not bully a fellow Nairalander. This applied to old members too. Violation -> ban.[/b] Nairaland Forum Rules and Regulations It's a new year folks. A new beginning. A revamped Romance section is more than possible. It won't be easy, but we can get there if we all cooperate. If you refuse to cooperate, you shall be banned from this section. The rules say so. For derailers, here is a thread for you: https://www.nairaland.com/967122/romance-sections-off-topic-chat Do NOT derail a thread on this section apart from the one above. If you must converse with a member, direct them to that thread. It takes less than a second to hide a comment, and ban you if you go against the rules, so please do not bother trying to do so. . No one is more special than the other, and all shall be treated equally. If you are banned, someone else will fill your space. No one is indispensable. There are over 200 guests viewing this section who are ready to login into their accounts or create one, just to join in the fun. So pls pls pls This is a humble plea from us. . . Thanks for your anticipated cooperation. ![]() 3 Likes |

Great job sexkillz and jaybee, more grease to your elbows. May 2013 be a greater year for the romance section...may all trolls and trouble makers who gave you sleepless nights this year give up their lifestyle and change for the best as 2012 rounds up. I believe there's always room for improvement...so keep the fire burning, cos you can still go higher. Compliments of the season. 1 Like |

sexkillz: Sure I just felt that the miss nairaland didn't include some users (dunno why) And am quite aware there are much more beautiful users around that are active in a way. Except if the basis of choosing the users who took part in the competition was dependent on some criteria Then I think there should be awards like most annoying, most information,most reserved, best sense of humor, best personality, couple of d year (if any), etc. Am open to correction. Thanks! |
Re: Romance Section 2013 by Nobody: 2:37pm On Dec 28, 2012 |
candygosh:Thank you. . . On the Miss Nairaland ish, we used those that showed interest or had a picture in their profile. There may of course be more beautiful ladies, but how will we know if they refuse to show interest? On the other awards you mentioned, they'll be incorporated this coming year. For there to be couple of the year award, for example, we need couples. But where we go see couple with everyone on here forming what i don't know? ![]() |

Before any ban, there should be a legal committee that should look into the matter/offence. Mods should always notify a user before giving him/her a ban. When notified, the user should have the right to appeal the ban threat before being banned. This is my humble logamasy. 1 Like |

Kudos to both SK and Jaybee. 2012 (had) great developments and it (gave) a sign for a better 2013. No. 1 - If we can have less of e-fights, get romance section users to get more involved in activities like the Debates, The Wooing Challenge etc., it could add to the fun and properly define romance. No. 2 - Warning should be issued on two threads before a ban is served and not that kind of SK warning wey be like revenge statement. Lol No. 3 - Talking about the guests, if the atmosphere is welcoming, they will join. That's one of the reasons i'm on the welcome thread and always wanting to engage a newbie in certain event. I think as a mod, SK and JB should work more on the welcome thread and newbies thread should be considered immature, hence, it should be corrected with love. No. 4 - Also, maybe we could have someone to post link of threads not related to romance and without romantic content. There are too many of them and sending such link or creating a thread for fast awareness will help the mods. I choose to be here, i choose to do the things i do and i choose to work with SK. Most of our discussions has always been on Nairaland but does that make me/him the owner of Nairaland or declare me bankrupt? Nobody pays for these things even Seun may not openly appreciate them. I believe in growth and giving to any environment we find ourselves. As they say, what's worth doing at all is worth doing well. As long as we're on Nairaland and on a particular section, your positive contribution is expedient. We see in 2013 by His grace. D-Explorer 2 Likes |

freecocoa: Like I'm going to read that epistle, mscheew. ![]() ![]() @sexkillz, regarding the mr/miss nairaland, I think it will be better to prepare for it a month earlier or so. Go around nl, get people, email them and find out whether they are interested. If they are, we'll ask them for photos and from there on we choose how many may go into the first elimination. If this is in place, we won't have arguments about who is genuine and who isn't. Plus, we can get photos prepared in time so we won't have to rush about emailing everyone during the competition for photos.. |
