Dear Nairalanders,

We have just activated a feature that allows you to block people who harass you for a period of time (currently a week).

When you block someone, you will be automatically blocked back by that person, so you won't be able to see each others' posts.

When the fixed period is over, you will both be released automatically, giving you another chance to treat each other better.

The , super-s, and s cannot block people or be blocked.

To block someone, visit the person's profile and click on the [ Block ] button shown below:

Enjoy your new power. But that you're also blocking yourself. wink
tiny little improvement after 10yrs, go full app or go full social media with all the benefits

I ed Nairaland (June 2006) just a year after its founding (March 2005)..... took 20 years for some very basic features to be added.

The underlying technology, the interface, the BBS-style messaging format... it's all 20 years overdue for a modern update.

So, let me get this clear. If someone blocked me and I couldn't see his post for the period of time, then what happens if the person created a thread, will I be able to see such thread?. And if the thread is pushed on FP, will I be able to see it on FP?. If someone blocked me and I am automatically blocked from seeing his or her thread on FP if it happened their threads made it to the FP, me and you will have problem, seun. I don't give a fvck about the block button but EVERY post on FP, I MUST be able to view it, whether blocked or not.
Know what you're doing brother, I am not bothered about crybabies, don't do anything that will affect the quality of this platform because of the need to please some crybabies.

I am not the only one who has called him out on this platform. There are other guys on the platform he scammed. Mine was 16k grin

I just took it as one of those silly mistakes people make. Since then, I stop transacting business with people on the platform.

No be this nonsense wey u bring

If you like ban me

You are not making any sense.

If you want reddit or quora, go to their site.

Nairaland is an entirely different product. Bring unique ideas that would differentiate it for what it is to Seun.

Changing its U.I so it would look like an already existing product is not a very bright idea. If you want that product badly, you know where to find it.

Itโ€™s like a guy asking a slim girl out then, gaslighting her everyday for not being fat, what i say is the colour of his problem

Again, You are not making any sense

How many months ago?
Na dat one I go dey keep up and down.

I don change phone and number after then. But one thing that is sure is the transaction proof must be on my Bank App. He can't deny that.

Anyways I have moved on.

I just want Seun to be careful so that those he trusts with Moderation won't tarnish his Image.


I have moved on

What happens when we block someone?

We will not see their comment anymore when they comment on any thread or what?

Hahahaha. Let me laugh small. Kwantinu asking jamb questions.

Iโ€™ve tried it. You wonโ€™t see the post of the person nor the topic created by them. Everything on their page will be blank.

I kinda like it. That means if I block plenty of those that donโ€™t like my opinion, then anytime I create a thread, I will only have pro- my views commenting and that can help well in agenda setting.

For example, if I post about cocaine trafficking, every commenter on the page will be pro-law.

Even tho I like banters sometimes.

It is a feature that is well overdue. While it is good to have dissenting views, a lot of posts/topics on nairaland have gone way beyond that and have become pure toxicity and propaganda. That era is coming to an end now. Very welcome.

What about the global search issue?
For instance I want to search some keywords from a post by you from 2020.
I go to your profile and type the key word, instead of searching through your profile it search globally through all post on nairaland.
Please do something about that.
We should be able to narrow our search

Awwwwnnnn...
So you never forget me sha...
I don't believe you and I have had any interactions this year but you still me.
That's really heartwarming ๐Ÿ’ž ๐Ÿ’ž ๐Ÿ’ž
I have seen your recent posts and they are no longer as provocative. I guess you're maturing. Maybe I'm the one maturing by learning to just ignore your posts.

I also see the psychological move you made with the bold. By typing that, you make it seem as if you don't care whether or not I block you, but you do, else you wouldn't have even bothered to mention me after so long. That's really flattering. You are quite clever. I am sure you run rings around people in your life.

There's no need for blocking now. Our unwritten detente appears sufficient.
The block feature is a nuclear option. We don't have to use it unless it's absolutely necessary.

Someone in a previous page described the block button as mutually assured destruction. Very apt.

I intend to use this for tribalists, political bigots, and Kobo.junkie. I'm going to test it with him/her (still not sure the gender) right now. Everything about that moniker is annoying.

I donโ€™t agree. I believe it will make Nairaland more of a propaganda website going forward and no one will be able to do instant fact checking.

I can block every known Obidient I know and then proceed to create multiple slanderous post every day with no one to counter me in the real sense.

Then everyone will be living in their own small bubble.

But itโ€™s what Seun wants, I will have to adjust.

What about one of your mods who scams people on Business and Investment forums.
You turn deaf ears to all the reports.

People using your platform to scam .

When you call out the Thief he bans the person.

Watch out he will soon ban me for posting the posters. grin


I can see truly the guy has deleted the posters you posted. Chai!

Seun why are you allowing Scammers to operate on your platform. Adel3ke and Oduskid111 matter should be looked into.
Check the Mod that deleted the posters of Storyhaven. Which ever Mod who deleted it is the Scammer.

A quick search of Adel3ke in the search box of Nairaland brings lots of other people the guy has scammed. He must be a Mod truly.

Check this link: https://nairaland.unblockandhide.com/search?q=Adel3ke+&search=Search

Storyhaven are you still there?
Hope you are not blocked yet grin

what if I'm viewing nairaland as a guest, will I not see the posts I'm not supposed to see?
"I don't mind if you see my posts. I just don't want to see yours" is the idea behind the block feature.
