Read again what I said, I never said change is inevitable

But what kind of change are you implementing?

The majority of the of this forum are people that have been here for a long time…. And trust me, change is very hard!

If it is to limit actions of trolls, and those scammers that come here posting numbers or porns… that’s great, but that shouldn’t be at the expense of other s just trying to express themselves..
People getting banned for just posting some certain words that meant no harm… ?

Comparing this to organizations, if they are implementing changes maybe changing from manual processes to automations…. They hire new employees of newer generations before fading away the older generations and system.
In this case, the changes aren’t even going to attract new s… Gen Zees like to express themselves even far more than Millennials…. So who is the change targeting? What’s the expectation? Frustrate the old s and yet bringing in features that are undesirable to new s? (My point of view anyway)

It's easy to destroy things to build will take time

I don’t know how to type long epistles…so this will be short and straightforward


Oga Seun, I greet you oo..
we know you are trying to make nairaland better, but in the process of implementing changes, don’t make it worse. Not all changes bring growth, some kill it.

You are literally suppressing the way people express themselves on nairaland.
If you look at nairaland, the majority of s are the Millennial generation and few Gen Zs…
Most of the loyal s are people that knew nairaland years ago and refused to leave…. In fact, many new s are reincarnates of old s..

What does this mean… change is hard and the changes you are implementing will only frustrate your most loyal s, people that have been here for a long time and keep coming back…and they have gotten used to the way mainland operates


You don’t have much of Gen Zee’s
You may not have someone to advise you in a management and strategic mindset… but there are many people here who knew Nairaland from kids to adulthood and have become business leaders and owners ( they come here because they owe this forum everything)
What you should be targeting is how to attract Gen Zees not making life harder for even the older generations that have been here for a long time…

I repeat, your changes will only frustrate your most loyal followers who are the majority….

If you want to make changes, bring in new features that will be desirable to the new Gen Zees and align with trends, while keeping the old features that will still satisfy the old s….

This advice I dey give you, na free consultancy whey we dey use chop money oo… there are product managers here, business development managers, strategy analysts and many other smart and well doing people… I’m sure many of them are here and would understand the jargons I dey type

I believe that you have said it all. In an earlier thread, I had also given Seun some candid advice

Commentor:

You mean you would have denounced your father if he had been president?

Let's see how many people would believe you.

CodeTemplarr:
You father who denounced you and your entire lineage what can you do to him if not to hail him here all day?

Write more polished grammar next time.

Oh please spare me that .
A MALE nairalander and I exchanged words,he gave me 1.5 month ban then the nairalander insulted me,I reported,he was given less than a day ban.
The moniker even came to gloat over me .
Says whose side he is on in this forum.of recent threads on women have been pushed to frontpage.

Seems when men get power,they don't mind misogyny posts trending on their platform if it grows the platform.look at Melon Musk na .if you like mute red pill jargons on your timeline on X,by fire by force it must still show .also YouTube .

He knows what he is doing.words targeted at women aren't censored

Omoawoke:

Any strong expression of opinion comes with a ban and deletion of comments…

This has happened to me severally and I was wondering what I said wrong apart from having a mind of my own
