A Total Ban On The Use Of Ethnic Slurs On Nairaland by Dswe: 6:50am On Sep 30, 2023
Dear Nairaland Community,

We hope this message finds you well. We would like to address a pressing issue that has recently come to our attention: the use of ethnic slurs on our platform. Nairaland has always been committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive online community where users from all walks of life can engage in constructive discussions and share their thoughts and ideas. Unfortunately, we have observed an increase in the use of ethnic slurs, derogatory terms, and offensive language that target specific ethnic groups.

We strongly condemn the use of ethnic slurs and discriminatory language on Nairaland. Such behavior not only goes against our community guidelines but also perpetuates hatred, division, and hostility among our users. We believe it is our responsibility to maintain a safe and respectful environment for everyone who visits and participates on Nairaland.

Therefore, we are implementing a total ban on the use of ethnic slurs, derogatory terms, and offensive language that target any ethnic group. This ban will apply to all user-generated content,[url] including posts https://zyrtecs.com/dev-anand-a-chefs-fond-memories-of-the-ever-young-star/ [/url], comments, private messages, and usernames. We will be taking the following actions to enforce this ban:

[b]Content Moderation: [/b]Our moderation team will be vigilant in identifying and removing any content that violates this ban. Users who repeatedly engage in such behavior may face temporary or permanent suspension of their accounts.

Reporting System: We encourage our users to report any instances of ethnic slurs or offensive language they encounter on the platform. This will help us quickly identify and address problematic content.

[b]Education and Awareness: [/b]We will work on initiatives to educate our community members about the importance of respectful communication and the consequences of using ethnic slurs. We believe that raising awareness can lead to a more inclusive community.

We understand that discussions on cultural and ethnic differences can be meaningful and enlightening. We encourage such conversations as long as they are conducted in a respectful and considerate manner. However, any form of hate speech or discriminatory language will not be tolerated.

We appreciate your cooperation in maintaining a respectful and inclusive atmosphere on Nairaland. Let us all work together to ensure that our platform remains a place where diverse voices can be heard without fear of discrimination.

[url]Thank you for being a part of the Nairaland community.

And the mods will tell me they don't understand when those slurs are used. Ok if they don't know, why no open a thread where we list all of them. Moreover mods will still those words intentionally mispelt and they will pretend they didn't see them

This is the only forum where hard-core bigots are free to vomit all the bile they Harbour in their mind

When will Nigeria ever learn?

Bad behavior is not a monopoly of tribe and vice versa. We should try to learn and appreciate the good in people as oppose to judging them based on ethnicity.

Hehehehee

Dem don dey feel victimized again.

Na dem start am, na dem dey cry now about ethnic slur.

All those against this ethnic slur are from one particular region.

We are all tribalistic including the mods.

Yoruba mods favour Yorubas, Igbotic mods too Favour igbos.

We are not like the northerners who keep mute when they are being bullied by the chest beaters on the internet.

We go give chestneaters back wotowoto

The mods are contributing to it ....

They give freeway to it ...

When two bigots are exchanging banters, a mod will swiftly ban one and let one go free....

Of course the ideal thing is to ban the 2 bigots. Fairness is key.

I sincerely pray and hope this works. Nairaland used to be a decent platform with intelligent people, until some online keyboard warriors and miscreants had access to browsing phones and free Opera Mini data.
