Bitcoin Forum

Warning has been given for a very long time but those who brings people refused to educate them about di board. This board was created to extend the awareness of bitcoin in Nigeria but users here e don turned am to local news board and social media platform. And now because garbage e don too plenty for di local board, Sir theymos fit no go give us di sub-boards again because weti im want us to do we no dey do am instead we dey do local news broadcasting channel. Di number of garbages dat we don report e don too many, we Don tire to report sef, so di best thing now is to submit the shit/spam posters to Global Moderators to ban and negative feedback (tag) nd to delete so dat di remaining users go restructure demselves. If you no get anything to create, comment on other threads

The first set of shit/spam posters in di local board e dey under compiling list.

Again and again, if you no know before, know it now. The local board was created to expand the awareness of bitcoin and not for local news. Be warned... Clean the Board instead of creating shit posts and spamming di board. Names will be released soon. Full Members, Sr. Members and Members are more.

Names or posts? Post makes the evidence to be known asap. The post also reveals the name of the poster in a quote.

I think it's because many of the new guys are not seeking the right advice and knowledge and are probably thinking they can navigate through the forum easily. Assuming we can get the sub boards, we would have had one dedicated for Bitcoin education because a lot of the posters display huge difficiency of Bitcoin knowledge. I know how I'm also trying to comprehend everything... it is not just easy. If people are well informed and equipped with the right knowledge,  that will show in their posting and interaction here.

The non-Bitcoin related topics and discussions are not entirely bad but when they dominate discussion here day-in-day-out, it becomes somehow since here is a Bitcoin forum. Make we catch cruise in such a way that here will not turn to Twitter or Facebook.

On the English board, we have Bitcoin boards, altcoin boards, economics which may be intended to be about bitcoin like the speculation board but not, the economy board is more about what that are not that related to bitcoin and moderators left it that way. We also have other boards like serious discussion and its child board, watch tower. There are other boards like politics and society, including the off-topic board. This is a bitcoin forum, but we have many other boards that what are related to bitcoin are not discussed. On the English board, the board that is most related to politics discussion  is the politics and society board.

We are close to almost a year now and we are not looking for ways to have child boards. We discuss about politics and society and about off-topic related matters. We need boards for these. The reason some peoole like Igehhbotz and Agbe that are frustrating is because they see more of discussion that they do not like and that are of low quality. If there are boards for it, we can easily report many of the posts to be moved to the appropriate board.

We can notice on the English board that some people said they are not visiting some boards because it is full more of low quality posts. If there are other boards, the irrelevant threads would have been moved there. I mean the thread some people see as irrelevant. Go through the off-topic board in the English section and see how trash it is.

I be dey think say una wey be senior men for here no wan talk or una no dey see watin Dem dey do for our local board. That wan na because many people don complain tire but no body is doing something. To me personally I think it's because of the hugiblack merit thread that's na y Dem just come dey post rubbish full everywhere. Before that thread start Dem newbies be still dey try create quality post for we board. But all of a sudden I just come dey see rubbish full everywhere. Can you imagine someone bring this kind of post Peni*s is the most insensate organ in man's body  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5471594.0) to a forum that clearly says BITCOINTALK. like watin una dey think say this place be.

For me I go even prefer make e be say na only that CryptopreneurBrainboss thread Hugeblack local board weekly merit review (no posting on thread). (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5466381.msg62827389#msg62827389)
Na e huge black go dey select from maybe that one go fit change their motive or help select d post wey hugeblack suppose dey merit.

I would like to see something done about this, but don't be too harsh on anyone. They should just know that hiding behind our local board and posting off topics to get merit would not show a good reputation to our people outside the main board. If you no Sabi post come dey post rubbish how you wan take earn better merit for main board? I just want everyone to learn nd understand why we need quality post on our local board as these white people they are watching our every move. Them no blind o they can do anything if they want so let's use our heads.

To centralized something has been what I do not want to go for on this board, and it has been what I will not advise us to go for. The thread you are referring to is locked and only CryptopreneurBrainboss is posting there without allowing some members to report any good post. Which means Hugeblack's thread is still good which is the original and the best way than for it to become centralized. In fact, I 100% prefer Hugeblack's thread than it to be centralized. Hugeblack thread is also not opened to only Nigerian local board, but to other local boards. That Hugeblack thread does more good than for it to be centralized.

We should not because someone is having headache, cut off the person's head. If drug should be used for it, then report the spam posts here, and let us also go for requesting theymos to create child boards. If there is off-topic or something like society board, Peni*s is the most insensate organ in man's body would have been moved there. Also it is just an advise and I do not see it as irrelevant, but the main local board would have been cleaner if there are child boards and it would have been moved to the appropriate board.

It was never meant for you to report any good post or any other persons. If you come across a post that you believe is quality and deserve to me merited, you send merit to them and if you don't have you can report the post to Hugeblack main thread as he asked for quality post for review or other giveaway threads on the forum. That thread is there for interaction between hugeblack and me but he prefers to communicate through DM that's why it's locked and for clarification, just because your posts get listed doesn't guarantee you receiving merit from him and most times he reviews each thread I submitted and not just the post that I submitted, that's why if anybody has observed your post get merited by him even though yours wasn't among the selected posts for the week. To quote him directly;

I decided to bring the list public and I can decide to take it private too still my decision but to allow public eye see what's going on that's why it's public. You're not on a decentralized forum so don't think every decision has to pass through the public. I could have ignored this assistance from him for the board but I'm selfishly taking my precious time out of my schedule to do a task that doesn't benefit me in any way but for the board so you have to accept the way I do it provided it benefits the board, it's not a debate.

As for the spam matter, report spam to moderators and they'll delete it. I dey report topics scatter, some dem go delete others dem no go delete but instead of complaining I keep on reporting and at some point I dey send people DM and we all can do the same. The child board is a welcome idea and Agbe you can discuss with others and come up with something for boards proposal and pass it through the community for approval before creating a request. Nobi everything una go dey expect me to do, this is our board not my board so decision can go on if the community approves.

This is a very good suggestion and plan you just brought up @ Agbe, because to me, I see that the high rate of this spam on our local board is simply as a result of improper guardians from those introducing people  (i.e newbies) into this forum, of which I have noticed that the ideology most of these newbies have is "the more threads you create, the more merits you are likely to get to grow fast", forgetting the fact that merit is simply always a reward for quality discussion, hence, you see newbies creating multiple threads in their journey to acquiring as much merits as possible, which is not ought to be that way. But however, one thing most people need to know is that though Bitcoin is the primary topic of discussion here, it is not the only topic of discussion, and as such we have got other boards such as gambling/economics/politics where all kinds of sport games/general discussions are been talked about daily, and the best place for a newbie to start from while engaging in that which he/she has good knowledge about it, instead of focusing mainly on "local board" while you know yourself you haven't got much knowledge to engage in a Bitcoin-related discussion.

So the only solution to this will be to reporting or correcting whoever found to post a low quality contents not related to Bitcoin, our economy and  the forum in general. While others make sure to educate whoever they bring to this forum.

I understand what you said, and most of us are not reporting these guys and it is only few of your guys are reporting them. When the moderators see that the number of reports about that thread is more then there nothing he can do than to delete the nonsense post but most of us are just relaxing to see those trashes in the local and we come here again to complain. This is a nice thread,  and if it can achieve it purpose because when everything has been published some Hero and legendary members will against the thread again to be lock or deleted because their friends, relatives or alt-accounts have been involved.

I think what Igebotz said in his thread is correct. Because the number of scraps in the local board is too many and theymos dey see am so if we ask for sub-boards in this amist e go dey hard for im to grand us that one because e no dey encouraging at all. But dat one e not withstanding we go still try our luck. At dis time like dis we really need the sub-boards so topics will be split to different child boards.

So now di question be say how do we start?

Once once the question dey enter my mind say " abi na so our local board go dey? " because with all this spam posting theymos nor go even reason our matter, the one wey pain me pass na that Mohbad death thread wey been reach about 4 different thread and dem dey talk about thesame thing, newbies abeg make una try do more reading than posting so that una go learn well the fact say dem go tag our board as spamming board no be good thing, so abeg make we try improve in our post quality. I just dey imaging the pain wey our boss dem dey pass through to dey see how we don dey use our own hand take dey destroy our local board wey dem fight for. My boss dem abeg make una no vex, I see say una don dey take very good action by archiving some shitpost that una very good one, with this I believe say e go make people respect their self.

This is exactly why I respect your presence here sir, I mean you have said it all because we all know the reason for the massive influx of contribution once more in the local board although we have being active since the creation of this local board but the issue of spam posting seem to be a core problem ever since it's creation but the real solutions to the problem has not being work towards which is the creation of sub-board or child board as you started, because I feel and know that with the creation of these sub-board, the rate of shit post in the actual main page of discussion in the local board will be reduced because it will be very clear for direction to be given to those members that are responsible for all these shit post on the actual board to which their topics should be dropped.

The rate of spam posts for our LB dey increase every day despite the continuous warning of some concerned members. The fact say we never get child board no mean say we no go fit establish some sort of decorum for here. So I welcome wetin you want do, however just as Charles-Tim yan, make you no only write out the person name because e no go make sense. E go good make the compilation you want make also carry the topic/post wey you think say dey spammy or na shit post, by so doing e go dey very glaring wetin you dey do.

If nah the list go make the board clean abeg create am fast, the rate at which many post just them bump up for the local board don too much, this thing self I no sure say nah lack of people way carry newbies come here be problem some newbies no just wan learn them feel say nah to create thread full everywhere be means to carry earn merit some of them fail to understand say thread creations no be everything.

Even if you make out that list some newbies self no go read am, some of them nah to create thread leave am go their way them sabi, Abi I go say most of them they see the warnings dem but them no they wan obay am to do Watin they their mind Nia dem sabi.

You made me laugh. Lolz!! The list is coming soon. And any new shit post drop in the local board from today will be picked up and drop here instant and forward to Moderators for instant action. Let's be serious at once. To discuss politics is good but not every trash you see and hear then go carry am come here. If you want to make a post count make comments on another people their threads. And if u have important information to share good and fine share it.

If you don dey report like that, then dis our local board no go dey active again be that ooo, because e go just be like say even people wey get beta thread to drop go dey fear, and some no go even dey get interest to dey come here. If thread don dey now wey you go dey report people, my question is Wetin go come dey happen to people wey dem report? You go dey tag their account or Wetin u go dey do? Make we no just start Wetin go come dey make people dey run from local board, because if people lock up now, even things wey we need we no go get them again. Even people wey dey look for merit source fit no get am because dey go talk say d board no really dey active.

No be say e dey sweet me whenever I see some thread, I dey reason say dey wan even turn the board to Nairaland.com where you go fit dey read news, some threads no really make sense, but e go make sense make we use another strategy fight am, as newbies dey come here we no suppose dey pursue them away, or to dey make them fear to post here.

E be like say @Brainboss don carry better suggestion come wey be say if you see any thread wey no make sense, just report am give moderator make you allow them take action, compiling list of shit post doesn’t really make sense to me, and e go cause hatred for the board, and we all know say na cooperation we need now.

If person from another board just come our board come see dis list come decide to dey tag all d accounts as shit poster, e go make sense? If you start to dey compile list, I just see am like say na we dey kill each other.

Most people wey dey support make dem create thread dey report all those shit posts are the once that are always posting first after the thread have been created, if u see say d thread na rubbish thread, then leave am, no make any post for there. Why u go dey comment for threads like that u come dey complain now.

Person way no get better post to create make him just rest, it's not compulsory say you must make an op thread for the forum before you go fit grow. I know plenty accounts way  never posts one op post or not more than one op post sef but still the account the grow because of the quality of the comments the person the input for discussions eyes the see am gift am merit. But I just observ something say ever since Hugeblack just make that him thread of assisting LB's to merit quality posts lacking merits na so cheap cheap posts just start to fly around the Naija LB spamming the board. And this thing no go well cos for this forum we Naija gain ground well well with levels.

Sonabwg make whoever bring anybody or introduce am to the forum sit the person down dish some advise give am mk them no the post anything them see or their mind tell them to. Analyze your topic, think am over critically if it's worth bringing to the LB before doing so, cos here no be dump site. ;D

Now nah to the report any shit post to moderators be the Koko ASAP

I know some members here would have the saying that "Local Boards is a diversified board where Bitcoin and any other topics can be discussed".
Yes, you maybe right but primary, the concept of the platform entirely is basically to Bitcoin discussions rather, Bitcoin has come to intensively come to bring awarenesses and offers positive and possible solutions in the societies.

To me, the reason for the LBs is to locally be educated and discusses about the Bitcoin and its industrious factors mainly on individual possible and traditional ways of understanding. Else there is "Bitcoin Discussion" board in the platform where all Bitcoin would be discussed but contrarily it is of the international level where it is demanded of being one way considering to the understanding in diversifications.

We've been down that road for a long time, but it's not working, so we're compelled to take the next step, regardless of the implications, as long as we reach our goal. Who cares if the shitposters despise us for doing what benefits the LB? 


I dislike leaving neutral tags on shitposters and spammers, but doing so will only benefit the community in the long run because such a user will be unable to join any signature in the future, thereby saving the forum from garbage.

I know shit posts are useless to the board and am also against it, but I think it’s better we look for a better way to fight this than reporting them and tagging their accounts. I am just against reporting and tagging accounts, even if what they do doesn’t benefit the LB. We shouldn’t just be tagging their accounts, let’s look for another way to tackle that.


Do you think it's only our board that’s facing a similar problem? Check out other local boards and see how they are helping each other. We are planning to tag our own accounts. If you start tagging accounts, then wait and see how the activity of this local board will drop drastically, it will just be like our local board is dead because only a few people will be posting here, and it won’t be often.
 
I know some posts are completely off point, but if you want people to be posting about bitcoin and cryptocurrency alone, then you won’t be seeing new threads often, because there is no serious bitcoin activity going on in our country currently. There are some posts that are dropped here, and they are not about bitcoin, but they are really useful. If you want to start tagging accounts, then everyone will be running away from here, nobody knows what they will post that will make you tag their accounts.
 
If you will be tagging accounts, I know a higher percentage will be newbies, and I hope you know everyone started as a newbie and  we started growing with time. I am sorry to say, but check your post history and compare when you joined the forum posting pattern with your current posting pattern. Then you will see the difference. If your account was tagged, will you have gotten to your current position? Let’s just think about it twice before starting.
 
The local board is supposed to be a place where we will assist, guide, and cover up for each other, we are not supposed to be exposing and spoiling each other’s accounts here. I know the way high rank members always come out and support their low-rank members if they are being dragged in the reputation board, and I am sure those people won’t go back to their local board and be tagging their members  accounts.

I said it before and I will say it again, why is it that the same people complaining now are making comments in those threads that are off point? If you see any thread that’s completely useless, the only thing that’s supposed to be on the thread is people complaining about it, so next time the OP won’t create something similar to that, but most people don’t do that, they will still make a contribution to the useless post.

Me ah no they support bad thing o. Shitposting no good and e done full our local board well well. E be like we done forget the history and the struggle of how we take get our local board and we no they see say if we continue to they allow shitposting for the local board then e fit affect our LB if moderators they see all this things. Ah notice say for the Hugeblack wey they try merit local boards for quality post, nah our LB members plenty for there, if him con notice say among all the post wey they there nah our LB get the most shitpost and spammers e fit repot our LB to moderators.

Make we they try reasons all this things. Same way individually we they try maintain good reputation nah the same way way be say our LB suppose get good reviews.


Normally no be only our local board get the same problem, but if other local board no they reason or try to harness this problem e no mean say we go follow them. Most of those local board wey u they talk about get merit source o, which make them get strong ground pass us. Us here we still they find way make them give us merit source. So we suppose they follow the rules so that they go look into our matter give us merit source then our ground fit strong more for the forum.

Na we plenty pass na because na just one merit source we get, and who tell u say na we get d most shitpost? Because u no understand other people language no mean say u go just jump into conclusion say na dem dey write better things. u sabi Wetin other people wey him dey merit dey post? U know maybe dem even worst pass us? You shouldn’t just jump into conclusion like that.

I know say we no suppose follow them, na y I talk say make we look for another alternative rather than tagging or reporting them. No be merit source wey other boards get make dem strong pass us, na cooperation make dem strong pass us, if we are also cooperated, you will see that we will also be strong, but dis one wey dey wan start now go just cause more harm to dis local board.

You dey talk about merit source, like say two people dey dis local board wey apply for merit source recently, u think say if everybody dey avoid dis board dem go get am? Even if dey go give maybe na just one person dem go get, and e fit be say na just small merit dem go dey allocate give am because dem go dey reason say our local board no dey active.

Some countries dey wey dey look for local board but dem never give them, the main reason why our own dey fast na because dem notice say d thread wey @brainboss create before we get local board, new members dey join and d thread really dey active, but if dey come dey tag account now, who go dey post for here again? Me self go dey avoid d local board because I no go want make anybody spoil my account for me.

E make sense because if care is not taken this board go turn to Nairaland wey be say anything fit go. And before you know it, ethnic and tribal sentiments go follow. Good initiative Agbe.


I just wan add here say nor be only for bitcoin awareness in Nigeria but still for economic, gambling, scams, trading and other trading information.

D best thing first nor be to report or give them negative tag, the best thing first na warning. Something like a first strike, na after them repeat am wey be say we go do all these thing wey you write. Everibodi deserve second chance.

Agbe, this list when you publish it, should be a warning list.

If you are opposed to this way, please make a better idea, but please keep in mind that reporting to the moderator is an old method that was ineffective. This list will be used as a reference for any subsequent action. I'm not going to tag any account that's not how I operate, the list would help us to mass report but I can't tell what would happen if this list get to someone who care more about the forum than us.


Not everyone started out well since we lacked so much information back then, but we all became who we are today by asking the proper questions and posting when necessary.
 

Since the LB's creation, I've been one of the most generous merit senders and most courteous members. I spent the majority of my time discussing and cleaning the board.

What if high-ranking people from another country decide to check out the list and they decide to tag all those accounts? Don’t you think it’s an embarrassment to you as a high-ranking member of the forum, your local board members that you are supposed to be protecting and guiding them as a high-ranking member? If there is any mistake, you should be correcting them. I am just a senior member rank, but when I notice any mistake from anyone in my country, I do send them a personal message so that they will make a correction. If you notice any off-topic posts, it won’t be bad if you can message them often and correct them. I am sure some of them will listen to the correction.


Some people are starting the forum the same way you started when you lacked so much information. Some people are just joining the forum and lack proper information, and they don’t have anyone to guide them. They are just struggling to make posts and rank their accounts, so don’t think everyone you are seeing on the local board has someone guiding them.

I don’t have anything to say about you being the most generous merit sender, but how have you been cleaning the board? Why don’t you continue with that strategy? You don’t need to create any lists, just continue doing your good work without harming anyone in any way.

If you observe very well you go know say our matter no dey reputation since this year cause na me personally tell them to comot eyes from our board say me and other DT member go handle our own shit our own way. One brother from the board been default him loan and been dey close to tagging and na me still inbox those men to free am say I go handle the matter locally. If you need prove I can send you the PM I sent and the date. Those kind things na wettin I dey run on a daily but when we see the truth make we try talk am.


I'm not making a list; I'm simply expressing my support to Agbe in the same way that other members have. Agbe is a repute member on the LB who can do whatever he wants as long as it benefits the LB. My only suggestion to him is to do it objectively.

No be say me I talk say u no dey try ooo, me I know say plenty things dey wey we you go dey do underground wey people no go know, and I dey sure say no be all u go fit dey talk, make u just continue with your good work, atleast if we can be assisting each other things will be moving smoothly for us, and there will be improvement in our local board. Me e dey annoy me d way I dey see some thread for local board, but creating list shouldn’t be d way to solve the problem.


Even Agbe wey wan create list, I don’t see any better contribution wey him dey make to dis local board, d guy just dey look for how him go take dey relevant for here, but d pattern wey him wan use, him go just create enemies for himself, and plenty ways dey wey dem go use drag d guy also, but I no go talk anything about that for now.

Me I dey reason say Abge just like people downfall for dis local board, dey get one certain time wey him create list about people wey there post no dey go well, but some people post even better pass him own, some of the people wey him mention that time na full member dem dey and dem dey campaign, na as people come dey complain him come edit am, if person wey no dey our local board see that list come tag those accounts e go make sense? E just be like say na we wan dey do each other.

The same Agbe wey wan dey report people dey make comments for some of those posts wey dey off topic ooo, I can even quote some of the comments that he made in those posts.

Right from when I join this Forum oga Igebotz you just make me like how you and some other senior oga them dey run this our local board, with this alone e don prove say our local board dy in safe hands, you handle matter like this and nobody hear am, you protect our and I believe say that person no go wan go mess up again, I thank you.
At least make all those people wey think say them sabi correct person publicly make them come learn from you @Igebotz. Anything we dy do dy show for outside, and we get plenty people wey feel say if them rubbish them own say them go get favor but today oga Igebotz you don prove say no be like that them dy handle matter wey suppose hurt our own. I hope say all these busybody them go learn very well from you @Igebotz (I don hold this my anger for the way we dy condemn our own)

---

Wetin dy pain me now nah how person go think say nah to go shortlist names of people wey dy learn or wey need directions to know the in and out of this Forum, shortlist their names to the public and you think say e go make sense because you dy find favor or recognition wey I no understand. You wan gather shame put for this local board? Eh Mr Agbe?
Na we go still chop the shame if you go publish any list, you wey dy go report, you get your own errors so nobody is perfect my brother, no carry this matter for head like say nah only you be the odogwu for here.
Learn how to address matter abi post wey no make sense no be to carry am go where head of the table them dy. Igebotz don show una how to follow matter with Wisdom, nobody is perfect here and wherever you find yourself.

No bro, I never report anybody, atleast not yet and I hope I don't get to do that. I know say you go agree say food wey sweet no be by quantity but na by quality of the taste. Our ogas at the top don dey patient enough and from the way things dey go, the situation dey get worse, so no be bad thing if them choose to dey a little bit strict so that sense go dawn on some people.

According to an adage in my local dialect; pikin wey the parents no train am well go disgrace them for outside. So no get wetin dem propose or wetin dem want do the wrong way, we all na one family and we want what is best for the local board and that's to dey see quality posts here. People fit learn, sit up and become quality posters outside the local board too. I hope e no go get to tagging of accounts but this wait wait wait no dey work and if you get better suggestions abeg tell us.

It was not that I didn't see your comment but I have time to visit the local board for now, and base on my schedules the first two days of the week I dey use am for gambling then the subsequence days I fit visit di LB and dat does not mean dat I no fit visit when my attention is needed. It is better dat you said your mind. It is good to speak out. If I wish you k now me in real life or in person, it would been better for you to write more, your comment on me e dey scanty, you for ask some Sr. Men who I be first so dat you for make more trash. For your information I am not selfish, I am progressivist and not conservatist and that is I making sure that the LB should grow with clean thing. From your comments here it shows that you are a conservative who will never allow people to grow with good knowledge but like to keep them in one knowledge di way our lecturers do. In whenever place I found myself, I speak for all and mostly for the development of all and not myself. Why is it that, our parents are saying that I don't want my children to start life like them?  @Stable090 do you want your child to start life di you do? And that is how you are. I start dis forum with bitter leaves soup and if you want to know go back and read my historical background. This my profile link https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3419144;sa. Yes I never make better contributions but the first thread created in the LB and the creation of board was Agbe. Even after the creation of the Local Board, everybody was still using the former thread. Then I also made an input on the rules in the LB. When Smartvirus created a thread for the creation of the LOCAL BOARD, I was one of them made comments etc. These are some of the contributions AGBE has made. For your information I am not looking for a prestige recognition or any form of notice but trying to build the LB to the standard level and stand out among other LBs. If I create enemies because I am trying to do good in the LB which you dey number one. I like am. My own be say make di board e dey good. Please spell my name correct. You dey tok about Obari... I am not here to compete with anyone... If Obari posts quality pass my own no p. Even at dat I must make sure say di LB is good. Okay... Let begin...@Stable090 what is your quota for di development of di local board. I am not in the LB for for their goods but for their good. But you are here for their goods and not for their good. The matter what you say, we must achieve our goals. I have not yet started my real work in the local board. LB must be clean from you and co. When you dey bring them educate them well so dat their names e no go appear for her. I know dat all those posters are from u.

I hate it when I’m been dragged into matter wey no concern me and for the record, I no really Dey active for the local board because of past times and I’m already learning how to stay my lane because I personally no get strength for issues at least not with anyone.
@op, you na my chairman but this very matter no really sweet and I must tell you that you don already chase plenty lower ranked members to fear and I tell you that most of them go Dey avoid the local board, mark my words and that not right and I believe most of these lower ranked accounts Dey look up to higher rank accounts to even see them qoute their post or even reply on their threads and I could relate with the joy of seeing higher ranked members replying my thread or quoting my posts and I’m sure a lot of lower ranked members still get such feelings.
As long as you Dey this local board, na hustle we all Dey here for and e get one thing wey I believe say, person wey comot food for your mouth fit kill you and listing names of users for ban na same thing as comoting food for person mouth and no be funny matter.

No get me wrong please as I’m not in support of shit posting but meh this is a local board and place every user suppose feel safe to taste their hands and not run from, the truth be say newbies suppose taste their hands for local board before heading to the main boards but with all this serious policing, I no sure say e go easy for newbies again, anybody wey get reach 50 merits no be shit poster especially this era wey merit and scare like bitcoin.
Anything we Dey do, make we try remember say there is a life outside forum.

I dey reason make I bullshit your post before, but e no go make sense if I no reply u as u don write dis long story.

Do you think anyone cares about how you spend your time on the forum here? That’s your problem, and it’s not anyone’s business. If you like to spend the entire day trying to clean the local board, that’s your problem. Person wey no clean wan dey clean local board.

You don’t deserve my time, so I can’t write much about you. I don’t need to ask anyone about you. I already went through some of your posts, and they already say a lot about you. Your posting pattern already shows that you are arrogant and you lack manners of approach. I notice the way you have been posting rudely in sections that don’t have to do with you.

Tell me about any impact you have made on the local board. All you want to do is report forum members, all the members that you reported in the first list that you created. All of them are now performing better, and they are in better signature campaigns. If those accounts were tagged, would they be in the position that they are in today? And they are the ones that are making us proud of this local board, because they post often than even you. @Agbe, or what are you called? You are making no positive contribution to the local board. All you do is try to report accounts that are just growing.


If you dey talk about contribution, when people like @Brianboss, @igeh and @Charles-Tim dey fight for LB where u dey that time? We come finally get local board finish u wan come spoil am for us. People like @Brianboss, @igeh and @Charles-Tim dey go outside local board to fight for us, u no see d way dem dey represent us for other boards, but u don see any of them come up with d kin stupid idea wey u dey always come up with? They know with time even d newbies will grow. I dey see ur post for outside local board, na still disgrace u dey disgrace us, u go dey put mouth for Wetin u no suppose put mouth, dey talk rubbish for there, no worry anytime wey dem get ur time, u go hear am for body.


I think the merits that you accumulated from the freestyle post that you made when you started the forum are what’s making you feel big. Do you think you have made any impact on the forum? Make I tell you na just opportunity u get that time and no be say u sabi anything, you no better pass anybody wey dey here, since u no see freestyle post do again how many merits u don get? Like say u no dey go through ur profile make u see how u take rank up, any small thing u go dey claim say u started the forum with bitter leaves soup, you wey e just be like say dem dash u merit to rank up, u wan come dey form boss now.

Since u don sabi d forum now, oya dey create better thread make we dey see if u go even get 20 merit’s in a month. If dem dey talk about people wey don see shege for forum, u no suppose even dey put mouth self.

Or u think say I no see thread wey person drag u say u go copy picture online wey u denial am say na u snap am urself, that picture wey don dey everywhere for online na him u dey claim say na u snap am, even that one alone dem fit use am drag u because dem go talk say u can not be trusted, because dem allow d matter die down that time no mean say another person no fit go drag u again, u wey no clean wan dey talk rubbish for here.

What good are you trying to do? Tell me who you have assisted in this local board. If you are trying to make the local board clean, then you have to put more effort into reporting off topics threads to moderators, not you creating list and reporting accounts. All you know how to do best is create threads and try to report people.

You dey complain about off topic post and you dey make comments for some of those post, no be stupidity be that one? You wey wan clean local board and you still dey make post for some of the off topics wey we dey complain about, if you see off topic post, no be to report to moderator and pass u suppose do.

I don’t care if you will be reporting accounts or not, it won’t affect me in any way, but I know say u no fit try rubbish reach my account side, if u wan dey report make u sabi people wey u go dey report ooo, na senior member I dey but I dey warn u make u no try rubbish come my side.

If you get evidence say all those accounts na from me drop evidence and if you no drop evidence ur name no be Abge, you think say I dey fear u? Me I just dey fight for newbies wey dey come wey never understand how d forum be.

I see comment wey u make wey u dey tell person say him dey post well for him main account, but him dey fuck up with d way him dey post for d other account, I just shake head, which reasonable person go talk that kin thing and you know how forum be. If you wan correct person Wetin he go cost you to send d person personal message?

I will not talk to someone that has nothing to offer in the development of the local board and the forum at large. I have more important things to do than engaging you in a unfruitful attacks. I know you and your crew members. You are the representative of them all. You guys are not attacking me because I listed or I want to list people but because of envy about my merit stat. If you know di freestyle then weti you dey wait for go ahead. I was oriented dat envy e dey di local board and me I never experienced am before but today you have showcase it in the public. Me I never want any one to be tag or ban but all were warning to them. I wanted to list users, I would have done day from the beginning. Most of the key members know my ambition in this local board. I like the newbies more than you. If all the newbies that in the board doing well here and outside, do you know the kind of promotion we will have in the forum? I am not competing with anyone in anything. I am not envy like you. What prompt you to go and call my merit if not envy. Well as I said, I know your crew. I was told before you came up as their leader. I will only ignore you after dis comment. Continue with your good work. I don't tok to fools but educated and reasonable persons.

Stable909 and Agbe both of you are diverting the whole topic of discussion to something else. You are breaking two rules. Both of you have contributed to the LB one way and another.


Both of you have valid points, and Agbe's goal here isn't to get rid of the newbies; rather, he's compiling a list of low-value posts that we may all remove by reporting them several times until they reach the top of the moderators' list. This is a forum, and no one arrived on a silver platter,  we all had a tough start. For the record, no one is getting nuked or tagged. I will personally PM the OPs on the low value posts to get them locked.

The worst part of this shit posters is that even after sending some of them a PM to stop the kinds of shit they post, they will neither respond to the PM nor even stop making meaningless posts. While making the list, @Agbe, I think you should also add links to some of their shitposts.

Sometimes, I do wonder if there are no DT members on this local board who can tag some of these sh*t posters. If there are DTs on the LB, it is not a bad idea if they tag any shitposters who have received warnings for a long time but have refused to take corrections. In my suggestions, if a shit poster is tagged, it will cause them to improve in their post quality, and if the DT members see an improvement in the tagged account, they can consider removing the tag or giving it a new remark.

Omo e be like say the LB don turn to that REPUTATION abi ma SCAM ACCUSATION board oo wey me dey always go read when I dey bored from posting because believe me alot of drama dey that place wey you fit use catch cruise well, Omo I never expected this issue to escalate so deeply reaching the point of turning it to personal dilemma between both person, I mean it's quite disappointing since this is a forum and we all should know what and how to concise our personal feeling when posting. But as igebotz don already state am say una don already break two rules for the LB, I go just add to the clarity say una two na both senior men them for the forum and most especially this our local board and newbies dey look up to una so all this drama na actually falling of hands for me but I no lie sha e shock me and the same time amuse me too. ;D

From the way this matter dey go so, e be like say na we wan use our hand cast this our local board. Make una no do na... the wahala of spam post and low quality na general problem for the forum, make we no carry am for head before all these big oga go change am for us say na we dey do am pass. So far we no know wetin dey sup for other local boards, make we no go wash our nakedness outside.

Tagging people from our local board go do more damage than good. E go make people fear to say their mind and people wey their mind no strong go run leave the forum. Make we no forget say e get people wey dey new to Bitcoin and even the forum, e no go good make we dey use iron hand dey follow people... there is always another way to achieving good results.

This is also not a bad idea; last year, I tagged two spammers on this board, and both of them were banned not because of my tag, but because they were later proven to have many plagiarism offences. I may not have been tagging spammers on the gambling board like I did last year, but that doesn't mean it's out of my reach. I have a simple template that I follow, which is to send many PMs and then take action if there is no solution. Last year, I tagged numerous accounts on the gambling board, and it encouraged many of them to put more effort into their contributions. At one point last year, several Managers refused to accept individuals on my list of gambling board spammers, but I became tired as the moderators on the gambling board were not as effective as they are now, and many of my reports went unsolved.

Agbe will create the list to give us insights of who these OP are and for us to have access to them, talk to them and see if we can find solution. Our people say "when you beat a child with your right hand say make you carry your left hand take them."

@Obari
I remember a post that I saw in the past, about a user that was banned and he appealed for the ban. The account was not unbanned because he was plagiarizing. He evaded the ban and his alt was known and banned again and it was noticed that the alt also plagiarized. A member on this forum posted that not that his account is banned, but that the user himself is banned. If a newbie can not cope on the local board, definitely he can not cope on the English board. a local board should not be a spam den but it should have quality posts like the English board.

In regards to what everybody have discuss here about how we plan to eradicate shitposters and spam from our local board, I just came across this few statements by "1miau" which I think will be of great help to anybody finding it difficult here on this forum to use this as a guide to level up his/her post quality by applying the suggestion made below.. Because this issue of spam, we are not the only local board experiencing it, but how we are able to handle it amicably will determine the faith of our local board in the near future. So on that note, I will like all newbies to give reference what this alternative given below by our brother from a different board @ "1miau"

[/list]

Well, as much as I believe all that Agbe have said and also confirm that they are all true, for I have seen several of this shitposts myself, I would also like to emphasize on the fact that as long as Nigeria is concerned, local board is where most of them begin their forum journey as newbies, and newbies are bound to make series of mistake as they progressively learn from them as they grow.

I myself in one of my threads on this board emphasized on the need to discuss about bitcoin, altcoins and cryptocurrencies in general more, than we discus politics, economy and other diverse challenges our country and we ourselves are facing, but someone users (even high ranking ones) said that as long as the local board is concerned, that it is open for discussion of any type of topic, as long as it relate to Nigeria and we, as the citizens of the country, I kukuma keep quiet, make person no come say I dey form.

Anyways, I wish this course a success, I personally will be glad if I begin to see really quality bitcoin and altcoin discussion thread coming up here more frequently than all this politics, economic, news shit we have been seeing for a very long time now.

As much as I don't in anyway support shit post and it's posters and spammers, I don't think listing their names here will make much sense rather it will only end up giving us at the Nigerian Local Board a bad name even though it is not all the names of everyone here will be listed.

I believe we can find a better way to stop spammers and shit posters in our local board and I think ignoring their thread and maybe moving their post to off topic will be a better way to handle the situation Imo. Let me also remind us that being a hero or legendary member doesn't mean you can not spam so if names are going to be listed then the op must add all the ranks not just full members, and seniors. If the forum has not created a board to list out the names of spammers and shit posters why list names while we can possibly request for a sub- board to move shit posts to off topic.

My senior @charles-Tim, with all due respect, I no really understand this your tale especially with relationship to matter wey Dey ground and reason why you mention me specially for your post but the truth be say I believe say I no be Dey pony fingers at anyone but I’ve always been in the opinion that the local board should be a safe spot for newbies rather than a place of devour m. In as much as I Dey against shitposting, that one no go make me kill person as per wey Dey try grow because just as a user been don talk say nobody fall from sky and as such suppose understand how the growth process hard especially now wey merit be like bitcoin

Di way di shitposts and spam posts in the local board is alarming and otnos getting out of hand. As dis Discussion dey go on people are still having di confidence to drop this The importance of taking Beer ( Alcohol) in moderation (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5473341.0). People jus take di matter for granted. Di DT members in the board should work hard now because these will not hear word if na ordinary warning without action. Till now I have not gotten the message in that thread. Drinking beer now is a thread in Bitcointalk. Or am I the person day e no understand di thread?

I believed these are some of the reasons why dis thread is created and now it for the users in the board to report such threads. We are not in beer palour to discuss the important of beer. And not everyone here drink beer.

I don read some of this post and comment dem and e dey surprise me like this, so una dey tell we the newbies say we no too get right to follow do one or two for this local board? How some of una dey take teach people here self? See eh, I just dey smell busy body for this our local board and some of una wey dey here go ready to kill our own just to get recognition or merit or whatever the thing una dey chase, see we be one oh. I no like post we no good oh but e no mean say person no go improve for d post we em dey drop, no be to use your hand take scatter wetin person manage dey build, make all these busy body dem no do wetin person go forget say here nah our own place oh. If we no do test run here I no sure say we fit go post for outside of this board, abeg I tire for some people here oh.

Yeah, I believe there are better ways to control the shit posters, which is to tag them if, after sending a PM, they do not respond. I never knew you tagged some members last year, although I joined the forum in the month of October last year. But since you sent PMs across too, it's better. I remember sending a few of them PMs, and they did not respond, nor did they stop posting more of those low-quality topics.

Its would be really bad if the solutions might end up to this same route again because I don't believe in tagging all newbie that actually post out of range as I believe some of these newbie can be guided to the right part as some of them might be potential and important members here in the community In time coming but a little discipline is also not out of line in terms of the rapid shit posts here in the LB.

The type of posts wey our brothers and sisters them, they post for our local board no be am. Some people just dey post any post wey dey think say go give them merit even though the post no dey related to Bitcoin or the post no go help this our local board move forward, they go just post am. I done see posts like manpower, abeg how manpower fit helps us to spread Bitcoin for Naija? I like the punishment wey people wey no want stop to be posting that kind of post, now the only thing wey go make them stop because nobody go want make in account wey in done suffer finish build make them banned just because of post shit post.

Tagg is not an everlasting mark, although it depends on the offense. For me, the way I picture this whole tagg of a thing, it should just be like a tool of correction in some cases and not be left on one's profile for eternity. Let's assume you have PM someone to make an amendment to how they post, and they still keep ignorant of their tool. Then you can drop a tag like "shit poster, spammer, read the forum rules, and contribute positively, and I can consider reversing thiss tag." As such, I believe the member will want to work toward that tag so that it can get removed, or even in a situation where the new member lets go of the account to create a new one, if they start again, they will be more careful. Except for some cases I have seen on the forum where the tagg is used as a tool of war, which it's not supposed to be.

I had a bunch of them under my custody last year, and the end result was fantastic because the ones who didn't develop over time were removed from gambling-related campaigns, and it served as a stepping stone for the majority of them to improve and contribute more to their conversation.

 Gambling Board Spammers; Concerns, Solutions & Suggestions (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5403475.msg60411498#msg60411498)

Let's get the list then we can discuss how to deal with them without selling them out or ruining their reputation in a long run.

I believed those who against my philosophy here can do something on this post Why Nigerians value burial ceremony more than other occasions? (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5474085.0), are you telling me that    Peter Faith (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3584323) e dey ignorant of what is happening in local board this days. He knows everything and he just want to test if we can do anything. This is a deliberate act and Peter Faith post needs a... Another one again https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5474022.0 any shitpost that drop we go list am here and forward it. Only brand new is excepted.

Those two accounts listed are alt accounts attempting to gain activity points and farm merit from the local board; my only concern is that there are reputation members spamming those threads, and these are the same members fighting for us not to have an off-topic sub-board in order to continue spamming activities while blaming newbies.

Those posts you just listed belongs to off-topic sub-boad

That means we are to request the
Off Topics,
Other Discussions and
Naija Politics and Society Boards at once so that will not go through this process again later.

What topics are fit into these "other discussion" board ? I'm sure Cyrus would ask me the same question if I should PM him this request. I'm curious about this and how we intend to achieve it.

I was sleepy when I received the notification. It's very simple. If you look at the board there are 4 topics always drop.
1. Bitcoin Discussion
2. Naija Politics and Society
3. Off Topics: where garbage post will be trashed in. Like the ones I dropped
4. Other Discussions, these are topics that are not any of the the above. Example. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5466221.msg62819955#msg62819955, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5462647.msg62669769#msg62669769, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5471361.0 etc these ones can be inserted in the Other Discussions. Bro Igebotz we are trying to accommodate everyone in the local board. If you keep all those threads in Off Topics, the activeness will reduce. So allow them to post there interested topics on economics and other valuable topics there, but merit no go flow there so dat will make dem not to use there frequently but on the main board. But if you say make we remove the Other Discussions Board, no problem we go remove am.

Di trend of shitposts, as una de call am here, de quite much, and e no go help di growth of di board in terms of quality discussions about bitcoin, wey be di key reason of di forum. Infact wen I join di forum and come begin to de post for dis local board, e no be like this. All of a sudden di trend just change. My observation for oda local boards be say dem get sub boards, and if we get am like dem, e go help to address dis matter wey de on ground. If our ogas dem see posts wey no suppose de for di local main board, na to shift am go to di sub board.

Anyway I observe say some posts de locked, dat one na anoda way to address di matter, so we go see say dat kind post no belong for di board.

Any actions wey go sanitize di board de welcomed by me. I de in support of di suggested sub boards.

Those lists you highlighted belong in the off-topic sub-board - The easiest approach to accommodate everyone is to create an off-topic sub-board for those who prefer to spam the main board with social media junk. We're not leaving anyone out; creating an off-topic sub-board would spare most of us from sanity and would also save you from having to make a number of spammer lists.

The main board can cover Bitcoin discussion & Economy related posts.

E be like say we go revive this topic to it real purpose because those guys e want start again. See how dem dey mess up di board trash topics and off topics. Some topics does not even belong to any category. Clean the board with quality posts. If you know you are not familiar with bitcoin discussion then you have to browse and learn from there because not is not compulsory that you must make a Post everytime. Use some weeks to make good research then come back to the forum and ask questions if there is any. And read posts then make comments from there. It is very simple to use if really you are ready.

I can see that the board is messed up by the newbies and this is making some of the legendary men dem dey run from the Board because dem no fit put mouth for those trashes wey di newbies dey vomit here. To clean di board nai be di best and if anyone can do it, make di person do without wasting time.
