(Poll Added Vote Now): How Many Child Boards do We asked?

[Igebotz]

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.

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.

We still need C. Brainboss to quote the last PM thyemos sent to him before creating the local board and send him the application link to get his attention. I've already sent him a PM, others can follow suit.

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.

What would a decent poster be doing on an off-topic sub-board? If there is an off-topic sub-board, the spam on the main board will be reduced since all spam and low-value postings will be moved to the off-topic dump.

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.

We can't have both are the same time.

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.

There are absolutely zero posts on this board on altcoins, so I don't see the need for it unless the demand develops. As I previously stated, I'd want to see Politics and Society and Off-topic added to the main board. Nigeria is an English-speaking country, consequently we still benefit greatly from the English board, as in contrast to non-English-speaking countries, which conduct all of their business on a local board.

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.

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.

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

Our discussion on mining is very low, the few we are discussing can still fit into the main Naija board. Also BTC/NGN board may not be necessary for now to avoid repetition. But if we are making more valuable topics that are related to BTC/NGN speculation, then we can have such a board, but not many of such topics on local board as of now.

Exactly.

@Agbe
Hope you are following this discussion. I think other discussion is worth reconsidering. People wants off-topic board. Let us not do something that we will later be looking for ways to still have off-topic board. I can remember you and some people posted that there were many spam topics on naija board, this is the time to let us make it work the right way. Do you think the spam or the spam-like threads are worth to be named 'other discussion'? Let us give it the name it supposed to be which is off-topic, irrespective of considering if people's posts counting or not counting for signature payment.

[Doan9269]

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.

Like on the English board, no members who want to advance in rank post on the off-topic board because it is constantly full of junk, and it saves moderators a lot of time because low garbage topics are thrown there instead of having to delete each post on the thread. Another group of people that occasionally visit the off-topic board are those with high rank who wish to talk or simply have fun on some amusing discussions.

Since we do not have a moderator, the off-topic board is essential for keeping the main and other sub-boards spam-free.

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. 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.

A new topic all together isn't a bad idea since people here in the LB seem to answer or discuss in threads that are new here and more over the awareness will be faster as you have already stipulated. 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 as having one of your discussion moved to off-topic even if it's in the local board.

[Charles-Tim]

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.

Well understood, but it's seem the poll so far is showing that the naija politics and other discussion is actually leading, but it's just the beginning and I believe everyone is well aware or maybe agbe should just make this part very noticeable when creating the other topics for the choice of these option of board here in the local board. Many users like the newcomer won't actually get the idea of the actual meaning of the off topic especially when it seem the original off topic board here in the board is a dumb yard for abstract discussions.

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.

[Justbillywitt]

For me the Naija politics & Society and other discussion is okay. Other discussions. Other discussion doesn’t specify any particular topic so for me the two is enough.

[Mate2237]

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.

Those 3 Sub-boards that have been mentioned should be added in the thread at Meta so that when the admin check the thread to see the request they will see the 3 Sub-boards.

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.

Off-topic was voted in by you and me because I knew Newbies and other old members who frequently use low quality posts on the board to spam signature posts count would not want us to have an off-topic sub-board so they could continue to spam.

We're a local board with over 100 active monthly posters, so anything less than 70-80 votes would be disregarded. There is nothing like "other discussion" anyplace on the forum, so we are looking unserious at this moment.
