Nairaland Admin Questions and Answers by Seun(m): 12:14am On Aug 30, 2005 |
Hello, Please feel free to use this page to ask the administrator any question you might have about our rules & regulations, guidelines, recent announcements, actions, et cetera. Questions that will help you to understand the Nairaland Forum better. The answers to such questions will be supplied by the administrator. Best Regards, Seun. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Yes, the administrator operates as a benevolent dictator because this is an efficient way to operate. Most business proprietors operate the same way! A benevolent dictator is "an undemocratic or authoritarian leader who exercises his or her political power for the benefit of the people rather than exclusively for his or her own self-interest or benefit, or for the benefit of only a small portion of the people." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benevolent_dictator |

Do you have advisers running this forum? Do you consult anyone before an action is taken or any legal adviser for this type of forum? |
Re: Nairaland Admin Questions and Answers by Seun(m): 2:55pm On Aug 30, 2005 |
At this point in the time, I'm the one that makes all the decisions concerning the Nairaland Forum. Before each decision, I consult trusted users, I consult google, and I consult US-based administrators of other forums. But at the end of the day, I'm the one who has to agonize over the decision, make the decision, and bear responsibility for the consequences! I cannot tell you if we have legal advisers or not. 1 Like 1 Share |

Do you allow your emotions to control your decision making? |
Re: Nairaland Admin Questions and Answers by Seun(m): 3:46pm On Aug 30, 2005 |
Yes, I do. As a matter of fact, most of our actions are tightly wrapped up in our emotions whether we believe it or not. I do not believe myself to be more biased than other forum administrators. I just happen to display more emotion because the Nairaland Forum is my full time venture, therefore anyone who is troubling the forum is troubling me. It's not just business, it's very personal! 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Do you feel bad when a valued member leaves the forum? |
Re: Nairaland Admin Questions and Answers by Seun(m): 6:32pm On Aug 30, 2005 |
Yes, I do. But once they decide to leave, there is nothing I can do to bring them back. In the past I used to make efforts to bring people back, but after my nasty experiences with Trae and Soul, I realized that once a member is not happy the best course of action is to look for new members to fill his shoes. As long as we're constantly reaching out to new members, it is very hard for the forum to die. Those who decide to leave are only isolating themselves for nothing! |
Re: Nairaland Admin Questions and Answers by hotangel2(f): 11:30pm On Aug 30, 2005 |
Don't you think the decisions you make affect the nairaland Users in a probably negative way? |
Re: Nairaland Admin Questions and Answers by Seun(m): 11:57pm On Aug 30, 2005 |
Every decision I make will affect some people in a negative way and affect others in a positive way. My hope is that those that are affected positively will be the majority, while those affected negatively will be in the minority! Nairaland Forum is determined to go places. 1 Like 1 Share |

Re: Nairaland Admin Questions and Answers by cushman(m): 6:22pm On Aug 31, 2005 |
Is there any link on this site that we can use in inviting our friends to join nairaland? |
Re: Nairaland Admin Questions and Answers by Seun(m): 9:12pm On Aug 31, 2005 |
Currently, if you want to invite your friend to join Nairaland, you can send a topic of interest to your friend, which will give your friend the chance to see what the forum is about and then sign up. In the near feature we will activate tools to enable you to invite all your friends at once in a more direct way. This is a very good question; thanks! |

Re: Nairaland Admin Questions and Answers by Latoya(f): 5:02am On Sep 08, 2005 |
Why do u delete posts without members notification? |
Re: Nairaland Admin Questions and Answers by Seun(m): 6:02am On Sep 08, 2005 |
Because of the excessive number of posts we have to handle every day. However, in the future we're introducing a paid priority support for those who want us to notify them whenever any change is being made to their posts. So if you pay, we would be able to afford the time to notify you properly when your message has a problem. But we can't afford to provide such a service for every member! |
Re: Nairaland Admin Questions and Answers by whiteshark(m): 2:11pm On Sep 08, 2005 |
what kind of question would amount to being offensive to be deleted from the forum. what kind of offensive remarks can earn a member to be banned from d forum |
Re: Nairaland Admin Questions and Answers by fabian(f): 11:13am On Sep 09, 2005 |
One Question Coming UP! Why do you edit posts, like the one I posted 2 days ago about eating You up if you turned to a chicken, goat or cow. (It was in Blazing red originally) What you did was change the font face to the way that suited your taste I didn't see it as offensive, or breaking any Nairaland rule for that matter. just wonderin anyway...................... |
Re: Nairaland Admin Questions and Answers by Seun(m): 3:56am On Sep 10, 2005 |
You're right; you didn't break any rule. The rules are incomplete, apologies for the inconvenience! |
Re: Nairaland Admin Questions and Answers by IAH(f): 9:39am On Oct 21, 2005 |
I have two questions: 1. How do I create a poll? 2. How do I change my username? |
Re: Nairaland Admin Questions and Answers by Greatpeter(m): 10:00am On Oct 21, 2005 |
Why did you ditch my post titled"If your wife is pregnant for your best friend and vise versa for men"in to the recycle bin and another person stole the topic from me which you pasted on the Nairaland forum page? |
Re: Nairaland Admin Questions and Answers by fabian(f): 2:41pm On Oct 21, 2005 |
Oya now, Answer |
Re: Nairaland Admin Questions and Answers by Seun(m): 6:07pm On Oct 24, 2005 |
IAH: I can change your username and post polls for you. Greatpeter, your thread was moved to the recycle bin because it wasn't well developed. |

Re: Nairaland Admin Questions and Answers by Seun(m): 9:12pm On Nov 29, 2005 |
Yes, your posts were off-topic. Currently, we are facing a moderator crisis that doesn't enable us to remove all posts that break the rules, so those whose posts are removed tend to feel that they are being targetted. Which is not true! |
