sexkillz: We'll find out how tragic it is when I ban you for being a bigot by my own terms and you complain. In any same society and gatherings where people are expected to obey rules, the rules are stated and made known to the people and this is not only done to make sure people understand the rules and abide, but also to make the enforcers job easy. The fact that you are still dodging and won't state the so called words are didn't surprise me because not only that you personally don't know, your boss himself don't know . It is e even more tragic that people take jobs with no stated and defined parameters, no job description or guidelines . Don't you feel funny saying you'll ban people for what you in a leadership position failed to tell them constitute an offense? Haven't you failed already? Smh....... |

sexkillz: Spambot did the first and second, I did the third. Can you remind me why I banned you? Let's not derail this thread. What's ur plan?? What are you gonna do differently from the two mods before you?? |

Obiagu1: ^^^ Not according to the owner of nairaland and you need to quit spreading false info.... |
Re: Eliminating Bigotry From The Politics Section. by Obiagu1(m): 9:21pm On May 17, 2013 |
sexkillz: Noted. Now you can implement it for just 4 weeks and see the effect. After ask Seun to pay me for my advice for solving his problem for him. |

Hmmm.... Alright. First of all, I miss Ikenna here. Dude meant well, was doing well & could have done a lot better if allowed to continue. Evensome of those who were banned by him began to admire him. He had very good intentions, and was clear on what he intended to do which of course involved the use of force, but without being arrogant, however subtly, about it. Sexkillz welcome. i wish you the best of luck. The romance section is not the politics section even though both are sections on on this same nairaland. I hope your planned style of 'modship' will indicate that you have this at the back of your mind. i could come up with an essay expresing my views on what tribalism is about and why the war on tribalism appears to be akin to the war against corruption in Nigeria but I'll skip that There is freedom of speech. Nairaland allows this. There is attack on tribes and personalities. Not allowed. EVERYBODY should be able to express his views on Ojukwu or Awolowo or Achebe or Obasanjo WITHOUT being insultive. Nairaland is a microcosm of Nigeria and no matter how popular/notorious a national figure is, he/she will surely have his or her own antagonists/supporters who are nairalanders. I support that our national figures should not be insulted but i also support that anybody should be free to say anything, good or bad AS LONG AS IT IS TRUE about them. we are all here to review our past, analyse the present and chart a course for the future. I support that these figures should not be called names like coward, mol.e.ster e.t.c. as i believe that actually irks lots of people and has contributed a lot to the tribalism cancer in nairaland today. I support that those who have a penchant for turning just about any thread to yoruba versus igbo/hausa be warned and banned if they refuse to desist. But, Moderators, including our new one, Sexkillz, Please ban RESPONSIBLY and not indiscriminately. The essence of punishment is to make the recipient realise his mistake. The response some mods give when members question their ban totally negates this. I personally detest arrogance, it pisses me off even when such arrogance isn't directed at my person. When laws are broken, due process must be followed and appropriate punishment given and even when appropriate punishment is given, it must not smack of highhandedness and arrogance. doing otherwise or trying to show 'who's boss' usuay makes the defaulter more recalcitrant. And we are dealing with adults here, of varying intelligence levels which i must admit must make the job of moderating more difficult. But, i think its better to handle an offence properly the first time, rather than having to deal with it continually. In essence, I recommend a carrot and stick approach for handling the tribalism menace. In short, a great deal of MATURITY is expected from the moderators and of course we the members if this section is to rbe made pleasant for us all. Some people say the politics section will be dull and dead without tribalism. I disagree. but i will say that care must be taken while fighting this tribalism and bigotry so that the politics section does not indeed end up dull and uninspiring. This may not be the right place to say it but i also join others to request that the monthly debates be brought back and i strongly recommend that a topic relating to 'tribalism and bigotry on social media in Nigeria' be discussed. To the die-hard tribalists, u know yourselves, please sheathe your swords and stop venting your frustrations on others online. (Some of) you can & do make better contributions than the expressly meaningless tribal slurs you churn out with so much hate. Relax, life's not that hard. To the jocular tribalists, abeg, make una dey much more subtle without necessarily being insultive. The nigerian political terrain is a comedy in itself so there are already lots of things to make us cry and laugh at d same time. 1 Like |

you'll be posting in politics section with that font? anyway, lets know who you're supporting first, might not necessarily be a bad thing. |

Re: Eliminating Bigotry From The Politics Section. by Nobody: 12:52am On May 18, 2013 |
eko ilee: Stop tripping and let the guy do whatever he likes.what's the point arguing with someone who came here with a biafran agenda ? Kosovo wasn't a yoruba but he remains the best mod in this section till date followed by jarus.Every other persons do not have anything to offer other than whine about ban as if it solves the real problems that inspired the tribal comment. |
Re: Eliminating Bigotry From The Politics Section. by Nobody: 12:57am On May 18, 2013 |
jackbauersballs: You cannot eliminate bigotry if people continue to push the divisive agenda of Biafra. Makes a lot of sense sha, but there's got to be decorum at least to some an extent |
Re: Eliminating Bigotry From The Politics Section. by Nobody: 12:58am On May 18, 2013 |
Obiagu1: The root of all these problems is the nonchalant attitude towards Rule 19: Don't create a new account when banned for breaking a rule. If you do, make sure we don't find out. I concur |
Re: Eliminating Bigotry From The Politics Section. by Demdem(m): 2:42am On May 18, 2013 |
sexkillz: Noted. Don't mind that joke. How does retardeen constitute bigotry? Was it not on this forum we named Obj gorrilla? Yaradua nko? Baba go slow. Now that its the turn of the kai kai infected brain from otuokpe, some are already crying. Abegi, this has nothing to do with bigotry at all. |

Demdem:While you may be right, remember that in aiming to be at peace with everyone, you "deliberately" do not hurt them. If saying "ibo" annoys him, look for an alternative. He'll be more inclined to see the point you are making. I'm not saying that the word "ibo" is wrong but put your self in his shoes and try understanding him better. |

Some people have being programmed from birth with a stereotype albeit erratic mindset against persons of other ethnicity for reasons best known to them. Insults is in their veins, and like blood, they need it to survive, like their lives depends on it. 1 Like |

Am not sure I can use my own definition of a bigot now but Mr MOD,I will tell you some of the things that piss me off and get me retaliating. 1. Being referred to as "IBO" . Dude am IGBO and not IBO. 2. When someone leaves the topic and starts attacking my tribe. 3. When GEJ is called a "retardeen","odechukwu" or a drunken fisherman. Let's not forget that he is somebody's father and from a particular tribe. 4. Being called an "Nyamiri". I really don't care abt this as long as am allowed to return the favor. Am coming back for more |

[/color] sexkillz: [color=#000030]Ban on main accounts get to 3 months depending on how frequent the offender repeats the offence. And yes, we have zero tolerance for alternate accounts. If this is so, then why do I see eko ile, eko ilee, eko ileee, afam4evaisaslut, posting comfortably on this section. |
Re: Eliminating Bigotry From The Politics Section. by Nobody: 9:46am On May 18, 2013 |
Bobandgreat: ]I didn't place a ban on those accounts, but I assure you that henceforth, any banned ID won't return with an alternate acct and perambulate freely. |

@sexkillz I see a lot "kill them all" statements on this section, I feel it is absolutely disgraceful, something should be done about this, it could be replaced with "deal with them" |
Re: Eliminating Bigotry From The Politics Section. by Demdem(m): 11:20am On May 18, 2013 |

He'll be more inclined to see the point you are making. The bottom line is I am right. We have over a million members, how will I know the thousands that don't mind and those that do? Besides, if the post is directed at no one perse, why should such take an offence in that. If its right, it is. There is no two way around it again. |

instead of banning and hide posts incessantly, why dont you highlight the said offensive post and exclude the moniker from further participation on the said thread? |
