I joined Nairaland in 2009 and it has been a long time coming.

I've transformed from a young and curious individual to a fully grown matured man.

I am also an ex Nairaland moderator so much has been said about.


Feel free to ask anything regarding your experience on Nairaland so far and I will be sharing my experience being an ex Moderator in the Webmasters section.


Trust me you will learn a lot about Nairaland from this thread.

So let's set the ball rolling....
Ask away.............

That feature is not available for now , so all you've got to do Is get a new email addy and register your desired Moniker.
You may choose to deactivate the old one or leave it hanging in case you need an alternate handle when you get banned.

Nairaland was born in 2005.

sickstars:
Does nairaland have any annex branch ?

Nairaland has only one branch and it's in Seun Osewa's house.

cruzita:
Does nairaland have a king and elders

Funny question.
Consider the Mods and Supermods, chiefs and high chiefs.
Elders would be the influential forum members while there is only one King ofcourse we all know who he is.

How does one re-activate his/her account that was mistakenly de-activated

How does one re-activate his/her account that was mistakenly de-activated

Unfortunately, a de-activated account cannot be re-activated.
So I'd suggest you have a very good reason do de-activate an account or better yet think through it before clicking that button.

Threads that are front page worthy?

unilagfreshest:
Threads that are front page worthy?

Threads you see on the front page are regarded as promoted posts and such threads featured on the front page according to the following factors which are based on Nairaland members perceived interests and also the Super Moderator on duty at the time.

Below are 8 factors that determine if a thread is front page worthy.

1. Relevance
2. Celebrities News & Gossip.
3. Breaking News.
4. Political News
5. Twitter trends.
6. Instagram photos.
7. Personal Experience.
8. Popular Opinion.


And the list is endless.
It is important to note that mode of presentation matters and also the timing of such threads also determines if the Supermods will feature it on the front page.
However, the fastest way to get your thread to be featured on the front page is by tagging the Supermods who in turn sees your mention and respond to it accordingly.
It is also important to note that the Supermods don't respond to all mentions so don't be disappointing if you make a thread you think is front page worthy and mention lalasticlala, yet your thread does not get featured.

Often times such Super Mods may be biased or probably don't see the need to promote such threads.

Tell me, how come my poem "The people of Nigeria" hit from page without me mentioning the supermods or fulfilling any of the criteria you mentioned above?

This is because the Literature section's Moderator recommended it to be featured on the front page.

It falls under "RELEVANCE". Your poem is very relevant when it comes to our national unity and political survival as Nigerians.

LMFAO. I really doubt if the lterature section mod recommended it for FP because he's told us so many times that the super mods often say the stories and. Poems in that section are not properly arranged. Like the know anything about literature. LOL.

And there's nothing relevant in that poem, I lampoon nigeria(ns) in that poem. I was shocked when I saw it on front page. Lol.
