Topic: naija board : newbie, a must read (Read 299 times)

Your Matta carry points for head bro, this forum na places where everyone get mind to talk and even discuss anything wey him like, some people dey sha wey be say them like to dey quote unnecessary quote but for long quote wey you talk I don't think anything wrong with person wey do long quote, some people Don master with am and some na so them sabi am very well, for the sparm that one na very important thing wey we go avoid sha because that one too dey among the rules of the forum.

Na normal thing to dey post for local board because local board na the best board in forum because no matter how dull you be if you enter your local board you must understand something very well and being in the local board go give you more confident to talk and even understand something wey be say you never understand, I see this your idea like something wey make sense.

You made a point because as a newbie the first thing way you supposed to do na to read the forum rules and regulations before any other thing, because going true the rules and regulations will help you to know what is right and what is not right,so newbies make will dey try our best to do the right thing.

U don talk am finish mate, some people they post for merits fishing not because of the sake of our local board especially here on this our board, the numbers of thread that are not useful is more that they helpful and useful thread and if you check Naso e be man. But sometimes e get some posts wey be say if we do we no they even think of getting merits from such posts and go con see say another person go merit’s because e worth am, so what I’m trying to say be say make we they reason how we go they drop things for here.

Just like this thread now, the OP know say wetin him they try talk most of the newbies know am here and there is any rule that is attached to local board wey no they other English boards as the forum concern, so this thread now e they among thread wey no they useful for the LB because wetin him they try talk everybody know am, and we they always think of how to generate quality posts that will grow our LB to higher level.

This thread has brought hope for every newbie , newbie fill  free to ask all your questions here to find useful answer to grow on this forum.

Well where there is no sense, but when critically look at it, there is sense there from what the Op has said there is sense in it. If you remember, after the creation of the board, the newbies now full members and Sr. Members here in the local board were posting shit and spamming the board like another thing, even after the Local Board Rules were created until recently that the related creation of threads e don reduced. And concerning the spamming matter here. Dat one, threads we don tok e don too plenty.


Experience na di good teacher na so dem tok am. I don see plenty people threads, comments wey dem don delete because of short short comments wey dem do and me sef dem don delete my own so weti di op dey to e no far from di truth. Yes and I also agree with you say one line sentence wey tok di main thing sef dey get reward but but weti op dey try to tok be say make dey increase our writing. Dat one line wey u say e dey quality na from Sr. Member and not for newbies.

I sincerely appreciate the way you are handling the situation here. This thread ona bring here na very useful thread and many of us go lean from am. In as much as we wan grow, many hoddles dey to cross but for us to cross it we need guidance. This thing you just analys like this na one of my quest, but no body explain am like d way you did. If to say I get merit I for give you. But morover I appreciate your efforts on making our 9ja local board solid🙏

Na true talk you yarn so o, because I still dey observe watin dey happen for this forum and I dey very careful before I make any post or comment, just to avoid the case of say I don spam or do something wey no follow.

This post dey important for any newbie to read so as them go understand watin Dem need to do so as not to disgrace or fall out hand for any board here. I thank God say I read am and understand am and I go try to adhere as much as possible to the rules wey this forum get.

no be lie boss, u too much, na the truth you make clear so. Thanks for sharing this knowledge

Thanks @Brainboss this is well Stated I like the wey you clearly it for everybody seriously most of us here don't won't to see some people progress at least if they see sey we newbie we want to get wrong instant of them to correct us their will not after that, their only look for a wey to criticize us which is no good we all gather here to help each other but some still no understand.

No, no talk am like dat because some questions need short and direct reply, wetin you go talk na say make we no get a habit of only writing one line spams as when your posts get reported it'll be deleted and if many posts get deleted it can lead to your account getting banned.


Here na our own so na for us to protect am, but dat one no mean say we go dey abuse the forum rules and expect us to overlook am. Person go only correct you when you dey do something wrong so wetin come dey make you vex, him dey actually look after you because if him no wan make you progress him for just leave you and you go continue in your wrong way come put your account for trouble. And for those correcting try use small love, na hustle we all dey so no go spoil another man own.

Na this same tin about people tinkin say certain posts wey person go mk say na to farm merit dey make me de avoid makin sum kind post dem wey I see say e go dey necessary to post am mk e serve as reminder for sum fvck up we don de wan turn normal. But as @promise tok am no be evry bodi get dat energy to spend time d explain explain in the name of standing ground so nah to just let the supos post just slide maybe sum bih name inside the LB fit observ am com raise alarm, dat one nobodi go reason am as merit farming shaaa.

Or anoda alternative be say u fit PM any big name for the LB tell am wetin u de observe make him raise alarm about am , dat too goes well lik dat.

OP and promise444c5 I like the way una understand una selves, one person (Forever101) make mistake and the next person (promise444c5) correct am without making a big deal about the whole thing.
This correction of a thing I believe say no be everybody sabi call out person attention then correct the mistake person make so as all of us dey here nah learn we dy learn no matter your rank, rank no dy indicate say you sabi all.. So I go still talk am again OP weldone for this thread you open.

It is good that our local board is fast gaining attention coupled with the activities these days and that has made the local boards to start looking into our activities here. Of lately reputable members have started paying attention to our plight as a result of our presence and contributions in making the platform lively. This is a really a good thing to behold.

This one na true talk. Our senior men dem dey really try their best to keep this board clean.Dem dey do well to dey call attention of members wey dey go off keys sometimes to correct them so that dem no go use am go outside go paint the house another colour. The activities wey dem initiate too na another one wey make our people come sit up to their doings here. For sure them don create enabling environment for us to freely yan mata as e be here.


This one na true you talk here. Sometimes related topic no make any sense but most at times too e no dey intentional say person go see topic wey person don create him go create that same topic too no. Maybe the person no see say that similar topic dey exist for am to just put mouth make him own contribution or maybe the topic don shift enter another page wey make him no see am come make create that same topic. I dey yan like this because e happen to me recently. I create topic wey i no know say person don already create similar thing of that nature as one of our senior man call my attention immediately i lock the topic. That na the step wey person suppose to take anytime dem call their attention to things of that nature.


This one na wetin i think say no go well. Your perspective about this one no tally. I don come across post wey dey short and very insightful with lots of message to pass  to some reading. It is called short and simple. No much talk here.

The issue of plagiarism too na another trap wey dey always hold newbies dem down. As newbie dem no sabi say this platform na advanced one so dem go just copy from any where come post here forget to also put link to reference where dem copy from and that one na crime here wey don lead to many newbie being tagged. As a newbie, if you copy from anywhere make you do well put the link to where you copy from so that e go dey clear say you get reference to back up your post.

Person wey see correction as attack never ready to learn and grow na because anybody wey wan learn go open ear listen to advise and take correction so that him go do well and too dem go continue dey guide am any time him make mistake. I know say we love ourselves here hence the rate at which we help each other grow is very much encouraging and welcoming. Let the love we share here continue to lead us through.

Newbies abeg make una try read the forum rules and some guide wey dey for the Beginners and Help board e go help una for the race for this forum, because e never tay when the op create this thread so as to draw the newbies attention for the board make dem for make quality post and avoid spamming. Now for our board I dey see up to 4 thread wey dey talk about Mohbad, e nor good for the health of our local board, to me e just be like say all these things dey make wen the admin dey delay our request for extra merit source, e nor good make we stop am. And the worse part na be say all the 4 threads dey for this first page.
Newbies abeg make we nor do make the efforts of our legends dem go to waste.

Well, I go agree with you base on your view and observation.


No be lie for that one but e better if newbie they cautious as Dem dey try grow on the forum

If your comment is the fact of the discussion, and it is  short, that is not called spamming @Loyce Mobile replie is an example. What if you talk so many story and na off topic, so it is not by the length of your reply that confirms that you are a shit poster.

This also depends on the board of discussion, for example the gambling board that majority of forum members visit and contribute there base on their signature campaign demand and for the love of sport. Although, I understand what you mean OP.

People believe that threads talking about rules & regulations  are used to farming merits that's y its being pinned at the top of some boards.
Yeah , normally you might not have d intention but d tin be sey some nah their way for getting merits  be dat and dem dey look for people wey go make mistakes  , but if you know you have a genuine  reason you fit stand your ground , so if it get you merits  it's normal

Yes you are right on going through topics before posting to avoid repeating same topic but you know sometimes there are so many topics on this forum and in the aspect of checking topics one might topic unknowingly and then still bring up same topic, so for me if it is being analyze on a different view different from the way the first person viewed it though it's still a spam but it should be considered since it is said differently.

Thank you for making it clear, no be say na merit person dey Hussle for , most time, I dey go offline for weeks . But as you talk am now, I get the point wey u dey make, na wetin make local board dey unique be that.
One love

 This  could be considered  spamming  or trying to farm merits  in some  boards ,which could also give you some bad reputations if it actually being termed to farming merits
