Seun, when I joined nairaland on the 27th of September 2005, a few months after you started it, my hope with a few others like Jakumo who joined on the same day that I did was that we had finally found a truly national or Nigerian forum where people of like minds regardless of tribe could come together and interact.

At that time, the quality of posters was top notch! We had really cerebral folks one was excited to engage with. Even our tribal disagreements then were based on reason, facts and objectivity. Very little emotion.

We had folks like dayokanu, jakumo,ibime,kobojunkie,Gettysburg,Bawomolo,texazpette,romeo etc... with other folks like afam4eva, naptu2 coming later... those days were fun!

Our conversations were real, rugged and raw... with intelligent takes flying all over the place.

Fast foward almost 20 years later, and things have changed.. nairaland has become a sorry sight with all sorts of bots, dregs, vermin, tribalistic and partisan lowlives swimming all over the place like maggots on a plate of spoiled beans.

The place has sadly become a cesspool. And this has led to the exit of many of this platforms brightest and sharpest minds.

Is it because of this dearth of solid members that you have allowed the use of bots to create a semblance of intelligent activity?

Some of us here had previously complained about bots like Chinkoalhaji and others , which you promptly dealt with OR SO WE THOUGHT because it appears there's a new squad of bots that have been unleashed OR did you simply change the name of the old bots?

For many of us "savvy" members, its easy to spot these bots. For many others , they simply cannot. One member simply referred to a comment from one of these bots as sarcasm as it was obvious the comment didn't make sense in response to the thread topic.

It is annoying, irritating and frankly disrespectful for real humans to engage with bots thinking they are doing so with humans. It's fraudulent and also has serious security implications for members and for you as the site owner if something goes horribly wrong as to affect human life stemming from such engagements.

The bots identified include BUT MAY NOT BE LIMITED TO

1.trutharena
2.tundegan
3.Shadomaan7
4. Salewa97
5.Anither563

I believe there are still others that are a bit more subtle but we will identify them.

Seun, please do the needful and get rid of these bots. It doesn't speak well of this platform at all that one comes on here to engage only to do so with a computer code programmed to leave comments with fake likes.

Cheers!

PS: nairalanders, its easy to spot these bots. They make silly, unconnected replies to the topic of the thread. Just watch and notice that their comments are "off" and don't make sense compared to the main topic.

Anytime you read a comment that looks like a joke, or sarcasm or a comment that just doesn't make sense compared to the topic of the thread, it is most likely from a BOT and not a real human being with a brain.

Mods, please do the needful.. thanks!!!

I've told Seun to do away with Helinues if he wants nairaland to improve. That bot is the worst of them all.

As usual victim mentality

Crying wehn wehn like a kid that his biscuits was taken away from

hahahaha...helinues is not actually a bot. he is a full time jobless fellow and he did nothing wrong sha. he doesn't insult ppl. he just defends anything APC even though it doesn't make sense to a normal person. even in this thread he is above my comments. only a 100% jobless person can be online this much

Honestly, I'm beginning to ask if he isn't really one of these bots. The guy is here 247, contributes on every thread and constantly opens senseless ones.

He may actually be a bot programmed by an insane wizkid, high on colos. 🤔... very possible!

honestly those accounts are operated by same person and helinues is salewa97. to read comments dey tire person because of their anyhow comments defending rubbish. even seun and mynd44 who prefers Tinubu than Obi before election can't defend tinubu like dis

.

Helinues, the tormentor of the whole Obidients on this forum.

Una never see shomething, I am just taken the birds from the pocket for you guys.

I heard his aged parents are worried about his joblessness. His sister once created a thread on this forum about his jobless elder brother. I really weep for that guy honestly.

Thumb up joor. They can cry to abiama, that's their plate of akpu. Nairaland doesn't belong to them, they can only cry, nothing more.

That helinues operate several accounts on this site. After praising Tinubu will his numerous accounts. He switch to his true self. By creating new accounts and post the same story about how he and his family are hungry and have not eaten in days. He will also claimed that he needs assistance to buy drugs.


The other time, he was posting about how he needed to sell his phone if nairaland members refused to give him money. He has been doing this for years now.

Abeg make the man dey get shame.

These are not bots but humans that behave like bots...
Yarimo,yyba, Cyprus IV, helinues, T9ksy....
These are all humans but I classify them as vermin , the dregs of this forum.

If nairaland was lagos, these folks would be like pigs reared in a pigsty in the ghetto part of ajegunle or mushin. .. the cream of the crop of low lives.

1. The thing about the internet is that you will meet people you do not like, and Lord knows I know it, having been online for a while...there are a lot of irritating jokers who will annoy you.

But in seeking to ban them, you also have to face the fact that there are a lot of people who see you as an irritant and wish the same on you too.

At such a point, what does Seun do? Ban all of you or ban those he agrees with?

In life, no one is going to agree with you. All the time. It's part of being human. God knows, it's painful, but here we are


2. The nairaland of the past is gone. That era is gone, done , dusted. It ended when internet became more widely available from 2008 onwards, when home internet became more of a reality. ....and anyone with a computer or a phone could post.

Before then, it was probably educated people who had access to the internet. Mature people, people who at least were old enough to discuss. Now, its' everyone, plus everyone is now defending their side. Remember Nigeria is, as I have said earlier...a land of patronages. It is very difficult to have a nuanced opinion on anything without someone calling you a foolish obidient or a tinubulator slave....at the end, you may get angry and want to give up.

The problem is, silencing others is not the way. You are trying to get a forum where everyone is like you. I won't want a forum where everyone agrees with me. It would be boring, and it won't sharpen my discussion skills, or my brain skills, or my search skills. It won't be challenging enough.

So, at the end, we got to put up with the bots. Who knows, some of them may come around.

But in life, you cannot expect everyone to agree with you. What you want is to force everyone to agree with you.....and in that, you have to realize that many of the bots have the same idea about you. They want to force you to agree with them


Anyway, the nairaland of old is gone. You just have to make the best of the sewage now. At least, there is always gold in the dross. Gold is always found in messy condtions, not in a clean ornate room, arranged in lovely ingots and bars.....

nairalanda1, this thread is about BANNING BOTS... helinues and the other riff raffs here can continue to constitute a nuisance here for all I care since the mods are obviously OVERWHELMED.

I'm concerned about the bots. Or are you okay chatting with an obvious Bot on this forum?

Left to me, I would introduce a BLOCK button. When you are tired of reading from an idiotic poster, you block the moniker and move on.

If it was so, would I come here to complain about bots Think about it?

NB: I hope you know what mean by bots are computer programs or codes. There are no real humans behind such posts.
