Topic: (Poll Added Vote Now): How Many Child Boards do We asked? - page 3. (Read 542 times)

The suggestions of the board mentioned in the OP’s post is very welcome and a commendable one to be implemented soon to keep the board clean. While looking at the positive part of creating these boards, we shouldn’t forget the main part why the forum exist, which is solely about Bitcoin Discussion in general. If we make the general board we have now to be for posts relating to bitcoin discussion; what about the Beginners & Help board that we have in the general forum? It is a very resourceful place for newbies to ask their questions on also. Since we are advised not to request for too many child boards, why don’t we have a topic pinned on the board, that will only be for beginners to ask questions, they can easily locate it at the top of the board without navigating throughout the local board. My humble suggestion.

The child board wey we need pass na off-topic child board, too many topics wey dey our local board na off-topic and e dey make the board look somewhat "bad" for eye. Normally Nigerians like to dey discuss about politics and we can see that fact for our local board, because politics matter choke, so if we go fit get another child board, e suppose be for politics, we fit call am "politics and naija matter". If we fit get these child boards e go make sense, our main board go come be for discussions about Bitcoin and crypto matter.

I support the motion with @Charles-tim. If we create board wey we no actually need, it go turn out to be a ghost town because such sub-board is not actually needed for now. Make we just stick to boards wey our current discussions span across. If we ever need more sub-boards in the future as our community continues to grow, we fit request for more.

If push comes to shove sef, we fit name the sub-board Politics & Economics + Off-topic.

uchegod-21 suggested for off-topic child board in the past, Off Topic child board.. At the time, I also wished theymos can give use a child board like that because there were many posts that were off-topic, but we did not requested for it at the time.

From my findings, I noticed that we have many new topics about discussion related to politics and society on our local board.

Normally, what moderator like mprep has said in the past is that, if most of what is discussed on the first page of a board is more related to a particular discussion, that such discussion is worth to be given a board. When uchegod-21 suggested we should request for off-topic board, I went through the first page of this local board and this was what I found out:



Out of 40 topics on the frist page, we discussed mostly about something related to politics and society, also there were many off-topics. There has always been many posts that we supposed to be reported and be moved to off-topic and political and societal boards.

Because of this, I will like if we request from theymos to create two boards for us, the first should be about something related to politics and society and the second should be nothing but off-topic board.

I like your suggestion, but I will prefer if we include something like society to the politics. Do not get me wrong, we can call it another name but in a way people will know that what is discussed there is about politics and society which is what many people are discussing on the local board.

For the economics board, I do not think there is a need for it for now because topics related to it are not many. The reason I also said that is because we should not request for too many boards, in a way the main board will not be that active again. And we can still later request for other boards if there is any need.

Let us see what other people will suggest.

I think is a welcome Idea, because I've seen most post recently that have low quality always resurfacing on the board, so if there are segmentations where members can easily post the topics they want, if it is off topic, if it is economics if it is politics, it will help in the overall engagement of the local board, because it will reduce spamming and also help members to know the best segment to post whatever topic they intend.

Happy new month to everyone. I believed everybodi do well last month and this month you will be smiling to the end. No forget to pray for di local board.
Base on the rising spamming, shitposts and off topics in the local board, there were murmuring and reporting threads against that. So we decided to make things easy for everyone in the local board by requesting to create some Sub-boards and we pm a reputable and prestige personnel of local boards analyst in the forum and he suggested that we should first create a thread here to know the public opinion and take note on the most important ones before creating the mega thread in META and he also said we should not request many child boards but just few and wait for a while for the administration to take action (grand our request). Therefore, I am suggesting 3 sub local boards which are:

• Naija Politics: Where all the political gbengbotigbo (Matters) Should be discussed
• Economics: Any Economic related matters should be discussed here. Bitcoin, Politics, and Economics are working in Pari-Passu therefore if it is to create child boards these above mentioned two must follow then
• Off Topic: This is where any post or topic that is not related to bitcoin, politics and economics will be posted in to make the other boards clean.

Remember, he advised us not to ask many but few and I suggested the 3 above. So you can also suggest your own and give reasons why your is good to be created. The floor is open for everyone except newbies and members because they have not gotten enough knowledge to discuss such a sensitive matter in the local board.
