Bitcoin Forum

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.

We need politics and society board. If off-topic is included as another board, I will thank theymos for that.

On a page, are 40 topics, I took the links I posted above from the first page of of the local board.

We need more suggestions for the number of boards to be requested. please read the OP and make you suggestions. Now time to make good comments/suggestions. Oya drop your own.

However, I see no reason why there will be an off-topic board in our local board because I have seen an off-topic board already so there will be no need for us to have another off-topic section in our local board.
Anyone who wants to post an off-topic there out comment should just go to the off-topic board and do what he or she want to do, besides there is no moderator at the off-topic board and that means anyone can post any kind of trash things he or she like (that's why it is called an off topic board).
So I am trying to conclude that there is no need for us to have an off-topic  section on our local board, if we do have such a board (off topic) it will be like we are not serious at all.
I am not too regular on this forum but with my little time here, this is what I can conclude out of my own instincts.

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.

The off-topic board you’re referring to belongs to global board… you won’t expect one of our local to go there and create a thread in pidgin language, it’s not accepted and it will be trashed the moment it’s discovered.

And by mere scrolling through this board you’ll see several thread that you’re 100% sure should be moved to an off-topic section because of the subject matter that’s being discussed there.

When Agbe brought the report for review, I remember asking him about the off-topic sub-board, but I didn't want to push it because others were fine with the ones requested for. But the truth is that off-topic sub-boad is needed as well.

I will suggest the other discussion board to be edited to off-topic as it should be. Although, Agbe contacted me and we discussed about it which I said anything they call it. But if we think about it very well, the Nigerian local board on its own consists of bitcoin topics and other discussions. But if the discussion on the main (Nigeria local) board are more related to certain boards, like off-topic and naija politics and society, such boards can be requested for, which we did. We should not have the main local board and still have other discussion that supposed to be off-topic. With proves, we know that we need a board called off-topic. If the boards that we requested for are given, other threads not related to it can still be under that main local board. And if need be, we can later request for other boards if necessary. It would be good to edit it to off-topic before it is too late.

The suggestions here and the requested boards in Meta e dey okay. Because one thing wey I also noticed be say the Other Discussions Board speak well for the local board than the Off Topics because people wey dey campaign come drop topic and di topic na off topic e go affect di pesen but is na Other Discussions Board then nothing spoil na to filter di shit post and spam posts there.

And I also want to say since we are asking for creation of Sub-boards, we can also use this medium to request for the local moderator.

I don't like the idea of requesting the same thing over and over again; we're not the only LB on the forum, so when we want something, we do it completely before moving on to the next request. The concept of asking only a few subboards and then requesting others again later is wrong. theymos is someone who takes their time in approving a request. Not to mention the two merits source applications that are currently waiting.

Mention other boards that you think that we need. But as for bitcoin discussion, this is one of the main purpose of the local board main board, it is about bitcoin discussion. Another one which can be altcoins discussion, I noticed we Nigerians are not discussing about altcoins. Other ones  which I can suggest, I noticed that we are not discussing about them. But you can come up with some ones you noticed that we are discussing more about.

If you check the link we referred to, they are completely off-topics, aside the other ones which should belong to Naija politics and society. On English board, our posts can be moved to a board that signature campaign does not count, that should not be an excuse. Do not forget that we post to learn from each and everyone, although being paid is encouraging.

The only two board I could think of now which might be effective later on is the mining board but the issue is that there have not been any miner on our local board at the moment and the other is the price speculation board for bitcoin and naira.

Yes, this idea is better limiting spammers and possibly shit posters, should this be stated on here :Proposal For Naija (Nigeria LB) Sub-Boards Creation (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5473185.msg63118313#msg63118313)

Am also in support of this, but we have to look more into this off topic we board we are going for, wouldn't this allow members to be posting anyhow or spamming with unsolicited discussions since they know it's not going to be fit in any where else, also if we should say that we are not going to include off topic there, people will still be abusing the other boards and there will be many unrelated threads that will be frequently reported to the moderators for off topic, so i like the way we are making tidy of the house before anything else could show up, nice works all the way.

Poll has been added to this thread and the public opinion is needed. Let me make something clear here. The different between Naija Politics & Society and Off Topics and Naija Politics & Society and Other Discussions are:
In the Naija Politics & Society and Off Topics, all the irrelevant topics in the board will be dump there and any other topics that are not related to bitcoin will be found in that Sub-board and that might look like your topic is substandard and that is what is means in the general board so if we are bringing it to our board then we have to know the meaning first but the Naija Politics & Society and Other Discussions means, any topic that is not related to bitcoin can be found there and there is negative connotation in it. Therefore anyone we choose here will be the final decision in the board members. Go to the poll and make your vote count. Lolz!! If you don't like the result go to court. ;D love you all.

The best is to create a new topic about this for more people to see it. We have known that we need two threads already which is either naija politics & society and off-topic or naija politics & society and other discussion. So the best you can do now is to create a new topic about it and let us vote. Some people may not notice this thread again.

Edit:
Just these two are enough based on what we have discussed before:

Naija Politics & Society and Off Topics
 Naija Politics & Society and Other Discussions

It is clear that most people are going for off-topic, not other discussion.

Well for me , I have already selected an option in the pool which is the naija politics and other discussion because I believe this makes it a little less insulting ;D as having one of your discussion moved to off-topic even if it's in the local board.

Other discussion will make the main local board to very less active, because all non bitcoin related threads are going to be reported and moved to other discussion. Later it will only result to people want off-topic board again. Off-topic board is not insulting but should be for what it should be for.

If other discussion should be created, we still need off-topic board, which would be what will later happen.

Then in that case let us ask di three boards at once because request two boards now and later request again and that doesn't look nice for me. Because as it is people like the Other Discussions and from what you have explained that means the two boards in poll are needed and all are important to be created. And that means Naija Politics & Society, Other Discussions and Off Topics are main Sub-boards that needed so how do we do now? Should I add them to the request thread or leave it like that and change to Off Topics? Because the way I am seeing Other Discussions will definitely take over and Off Topics will be thrown out and that will not look good because we need am.

It would be nice like that. We need off-topic.

Then let go with the three because all the three Sub-boards mentioned are needed in the local board because those are the areas we are engaging in the board while discussing. And as other has said, it is good for us to ask everyone we needed in the board now so that we will not disturb the admin in the future to create more Sub-boards again so let us ask all now and also ask him to give moderator tat once since the board is growing rapidly let ask all we need now.

I will not say a poll is good in this regard if everyone would be included. I said this because I believe no newbies will choose off-topic. Or if something like this should be done, the vote should be manually done in a way people will post and choose what he wants in his post and not a poll like this which is available to anybody. Also this will help us against people not to vote with two or more accounts. But like your commented already, that may not be necessary again if we go for the three boards. We need off-topic because if we do not have it now, we will need it later after many people will say the other discussion board has turned to something else when it is full of off-topic discussions.

Other discussion will make the main local board to very less active, because all non bitcoin related threads are going to be reported and moved to other discussion.

If other discussion should be created, we still need off-topic board, which would be what will later happen.

I think I concur to your opinion about the off-topic board, normally this forum was created for bitcoin discussion and bitcoin related activities so the main local board should serve for discussion about bitcoin while every other discussion should stand as an off-topic discussion. Navigating through the local board we can see that most of our discussion in the board are centered on politics, society, and the economy, so all of these can serve as off-topics therefore creating a sub board that will stand as a medium to interact and discuss threads that ain't bitcoin related should all be classified as off-topics.

Yes what you have just emphasis is just what we all are looking up to. There is a need for us to have other board in our Nigeria local board. In recent time there has been different thread created which are likely not worthy enough to be found in bitcoin discussion. but due to lack of other sub-boards like politics, off topic and others, people have been creating alot of thread that is not Crypto related and this has led many not to participate in our local board activities so we are pleading that our quest should be granted 🙏🙏 thanks

Base on the number of people that interested and supporting the OFF TOPIC we are to add the off topic board in the Request Thread so that when the admin read the thread he will see everything and create the three Sub-boards mentioned above for us. I appreciate all the suggestions and comments. This shows we are one and moving forward to achieve our aims and goals. Though in a family there most be misunderstanding and that is part of any family. I will update the request thread with off topic later. Thanks
