That's where the separation of the local board would have come handy as, it would group threads to be easily noticed by everyone and anyone with the need to start a thread.

As evrywher jst full lik dis, e get as e dey 4 eye. I knw say, dat separation no b somtin way dey insid our powr shah bt, e 4 help. Na watin I dey tink shah.

D nxt tin I go suggest say, we ft dey pm d OP on an exciting thread 2 eida luck d thread or move am go existin thread as comment. Dan 2 liv am around  na dat one go bad.

D once u don list 4 der, I hope sa pple way open dem go look into ram nd also, mak we try dey luck if thread dey exist on d topic we wan bring b4 we creat am.

I have heard this in mind but was contemplating on how to say it because i have been seeing all these re-branded topics if am to put that way, all over the board but i was thinking  maybe its because we just got the board and no moderator yet thats why all this threads are allowed. And was also feeling maybe its just allowed to count in as major activeness in the board and no doubt we are all trying our best to make the board grow but what igebotz said is true we should all try to reduce the thread duplication and make the board a little more representable and spam free. And my little suggestions is that if the OP of the sees the comments below and we members are going against the thread he should probably lock it or move it elsewhere, especially the ones that are proposed to be off topic

[Agbe]

I was really prepared to Clean this board both spamming, duplication and plagiarism but I was told to allow everyone to create threads to make the di board active, and I just left it like that and definitely I know that people would/will abuse the privilege. Someone dat I know in dis board that started di hustle in d same time dey busy dey create off topics. When I see some topics that supposed dey inside anoda thread as a comment dey di me won kind. Most of us r not reading di rules dey just come and started posting.
And also this where we need the sub-boards to diversify our posts. Now that everyone want create topics definitely there must be a clash but if there are other sub-boards users will know where drop there threads. Please don't abuse the board and Please let's clean the BOARD, I really appreciate some user who create quality threads.

[EarnOnVictor]

Thank you for putting this to our attention, I was concerned about the duplicate post, while some people would just stylishly change the title from the old ones which do not make sense to me. Everyone should strictly adhere to the simple rules on the board. For those that want to create a new topic, it won't be bad to quickly take a look at the already created ones to know if what you have in mind is necessary or not.

Also, I believe it's time we have a moderator on this board who is from the board, so that unnecessary and duplicated posts can be deleted within hours to dissuade people from repeating such.

[Mate2237]

This is one of tht reasons I locked my thread Nigerian Government and Politics Discussion Thread. I believe sae if Brainboss create thread to warn everyone dem go obey. Ordinarily from full member rank, we have 2 undastand di board more than Member Rank and below but na wi dei do am pass. Op I thank u for di way u count ur monthly update, dem tink saw na for_ me I don try meet up by no way. Unless dem dey do am for weekly count.

please if you see a post worthy reporting or repeated plagiarism do not hesitate to use the report to the moderator button, its our responsibility to keep the board spam-free the best we can, i have no reason why everyone sudenly want to create a duplicate topic instead of using the existed one. look more like merit fishing and best way to reach sig weekly quotas

Since a patroller was assigned to moderate this board, it is our duty to assist by reporting low value posts and topics so that the moderator can take action because he cannot tell if a pidgin post is of low value or not. I guess it's time to request that the admin pin the local board rules thread to the top of the board so that everyone can easily see it before using the board.

I don report a post here but the moderator (s) e no do anything so I come dey leave am bcuz I no go do something wey e no dey get value for di Oda side. But if to say we get moderator (s) from here di work for e dey easy for us. So there are three things we dey ask now. Di creation of sub-boards and our own moderators and more merit sources. Merit distribution of this board in the monthly statistics in the Meta board is very low. So these are the things we nid now. And also I want to beseech everyone to tried their best to make di board clean.

One solution that comes to mind is to de try encourage peeps to use subject lines weh de easily comprehensible and decodable. That way e go easy for person weh wan make new post to contribute to an existing post before creating new subjects. E go good if everybodi resist the urge to make a subject of their own

See another two threads that are connected. The second thread would have been a comment in the first thread.

New CBN National Domestic Card discussion Thread

Though everyone has the freedom to create threads but we should make research first and if there in no existing threads then you are free to create the thread.

[Coyster]

I think the main thing wey they cause duplicate topics na im be say most of these users wey they create duplicate topics no too they active for the Nigerian local board, wetin i mean be say them no they too read and comment in other posts created by other Nigerian users, if them they do like that them go notice say person don create the post wey they wan make, but when a user go just enter the board without reading anything wey others don post in the last weeks/days/months, come they make their own new post, chances they high say them go create duplicate post.

Having said that, no specific way we fit take stop am, but this your thread go help sha to draw awareness say duplicate post no they allowed here, reporting duplicate posts is another way to go about it. People here should also try to they read and engage in the posts wey other users don start, no be must say you must create your new post. If you see new post wey person create, and na duplicate post, abeg drop the link to the original post, and ask them to lock their duplicate post to avoid spam. This is all we fit do to help the matter at this time.

[CryptopreneurBrainboss]

No be every discussions fit inside one topic even though dem get the same name or similar name. Two topics fit dey related but with different write up from the OP point of view. We are just two page into this board and about one month of board creation. If we no get anything to show of the activeness of the board e go make theymos disregard any requests for a new board for other locality and might even regret granting this one.

I understand say the issue of duplicate topic go become an issue since everybody go wan create threads and things happening over here are the same so they'll be similar but later understand say e go hinder the growth of the board if we put everything into threads and some people no sabi create a reasonable thread self. If you see duplicate topic wey look like 70% alike DM the OP to lock the thread and write in the other topics or report the topics to moderator and when doing so highlight the original topic wey e dey duplicate so that way dem review, them go get better judgement. I dun report like 5 topics and they have been removed from this board, even though they ignore others no mind, still report when you see new defaulter posts.

[Cryptomiles1]

Boss you have said it all, for now we have to go low first because I still believe that very soon theymos will definitely appoints new moderators to our local board because I know that sometimes it's only we nigerian that can easily understand our slangs more better than any other moderator or admin here in this forum, by then you can filter out those duplicates topics and thread. We are still on setting out stage, so we should slowly set everything right before we continue bridging some post over here.
But that doesn't stop anything, before anyone will post they should check properly if such topics has been created. If the user is not active for the past 2 to 7 days before posting they should try go through the board if anything related to such topics has been raised before.

[Igebotz]

I don report a post here but the moderator (s) e no do anything so I come dey leave am bcuz I no go do something wey e no dey get value for di Oda side.

 Egberifa oo.

Don't be discouraged; perhaps you should include more details in your report to allow the moderator to take action without having to look for additional information, and as for the merit source, anyone is eligible to apply. Theymos will not select anyone who has not expressed an interest in becoming one on their own.

If we no get anything to show of the activeness of the board e go make theymos disregard any requests for a new board for other locality and might even regret granting this one.

80 topics and 900+ post in less than 2 months is already a huge success. all we need now is a little bit quality

I don't mean to dabble into what criteria to use in measuring post quality or threads, but the fact is  I want to make one thing very clear here which is in the area of data and accuracy in our discussion here in the Nigeria local board, I understand that in recent time we have witnessed an increase in activities which is normal due to two factors:
1: anxiety from newbies who want to make the presence
 known by creating low-quality threads in the name of discussions instead of just making the normal introduction as it has been the custom and rule in this local board.
But to make things clear we should try as much as possible to do data collection and facts of all our comments here on the local board, since this is a local board we have access to raw data and don't depend on social media and all the other mainstream media for data as there are high practices of corruption and fake news, we try to make this board as clean as possible and all that we need to do right now is to increase our activities level, instead of attacking newbies let fine way to put them though and anywhere we can do that we may need to destroy the low-quality thread or duplicate thread with a higher quality and real fact thread that will pass the right information to the general public with the right information.

Two pages wey we don get in just one month make sense na, i no think say Theymos go ever regret giving us our own local board or reject other request because of how we handled ours, we they do very well for this local board, but we no suppose rush things too much, the board they very active and we no need duplicate topics to fill the board up, i believe say na quality discussions we they find, if we fit get am then all is good, even if activity no too much.

No be every discussions fit inside one topic even though dem get the same name or similar name. Two topics fit dey related but with different write up from the OP point of view.

So far the topic they related/similar, even if person get different point of view, them suppose post am for the original thread and talk their own view for there, starting a new topic when a similar topic they because person get different point of view no too choke if you ask me.

All this chart and statistics people na so una go use this figures dem dey deceive us. You dey carry activity wey dey before the board was given carry enter the new baord activeness ahh brother fear God na. Also those threads number has thread that were moved from main board to the local board. I no dey say we no dey try but we aren't dat active especially if we dey rate ourselves against how we been dey active before we get the board self.

The two pages we dey talk so, no forget say some older threads were moved here and na so so those similar political talk full here to make am the two pages then the duplicate discussion come follow. I no dey in support of duplicate discussion before misunderstanding go dey but make we no create create thread, e go reduce the topic creation and we need them but quality ones sha. A simple solution na to report as you see low quality or duplicate ones and send that person PM to lock am. Make we no discourage people willingness to engage the local board.

[Igebotz]

instead of attacking newbies let fine way to put them though and anywhere we can do that we may need to destroy the low-quality thread or duplicate thread with a higher quality and real fact thread that will pass the right information to the general public with the right information.

As amusing as it may sound, those creating duplicate topics are long-term members who have been around for a while, so the topic is more of a warning than an attack.

No, those statistics were gathered from the day the other thread was moved to the board, which I believe was the first thread on the board. According to the statistics I'm looking at, we've already accomplished a lot.

your congratulatory message was the first https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5121680.msg61474220#msg61474220

If I recall correctly, the number of topics moved to the board is no more than five.

New CBN National Domestic Card discussion Thread

Though everyone has the freedom to create threads but we should make research first and if there in no existing threads then you are free to create the thread.

Agbe, I will urge you to take the time to read carefully the content of both threads you mentioned. because assuming both threads are same which is not, it then mean the thread on the introduction of national domestic card created by myself is a duplicate.
I will like you to get some points clear to better you understanding on the whole subject matter of thread duplication and quality posting if you have any form of misconceptions on both terms:
Differences between both topics:
Suspension of international naira cards:
- this boarders more on international card users that is those spending the naira oversee and other online shops, it has nothing to do with domestic card usage, so the Nigerians in the diaspora who used CNB forest widows and spending their naira using foreign cards e.g debit/ credit cards.
 Introduction of Nigeria National domestic cards
- this is the first of it kind it's a national tech project, there is nothing of it kind before in the history of Nigeria and CBN being able to come up with a national project such as development of a National card goes beyond just financial transactions it extended to the level of Nigeria IT & tech innovation as to compete with other international firms such as visa, master cards and what have you.
So both topics have wide range of difference and every financial and economic analysts will be able to point out their differences with just a glance, but I am surprised to see you mentioned those topics in your examples.
I mean no offences neither am I trying to deviate from this topic but I just want to make an honest clarification you you views and trying to save honest learners from getting a mixup due to you comments here.

Although everyone will see it from different dimensions, and as for me I see am as one dimension, luk at also the similarities of the two I found 4rom di threads.

_you will be unable to use your Zenith Bank Naira Cards for International Automated Teller Machine {ATM}

, in other words, Naira card means Domestic Card in Nigeria. Another clearly similarities, 1. He made mentioned not Naira card and u made mentioned of Domestic Card which I believe one idealogy. 2. Di first thread is toking about di termination of International withdrawal from di Naira Cards and di second thread is toking about the termination of Domestic Cards and fused it in one, so they are all token about card termination (stop). One of the article must have caused di creation of the other article.
That means as an experience writer in the forum, you can use it as a comment in the first Thread and it would still suit your purpose. And it would be nice.
But no wahala wi nid dem to progress, just dat we r trying 2 clean di board. 🤝. One love
