The Administration has been alerted of an upsurge of offensive and foul language in our forums despite the repeated publication of a disclaimer calling forumites to the contrary. Having said that, the Administration will resort to deleting every comments that are posted in capital letters (that is shouting!) or tribal languages. We will also delete any derogatory, insulting or violent terms. Name calling is not a welcome practice either, it never has been.
We posted a disclaimer trusting that it would appeal to the responsibility of our adult readership who post on our forums. We trusted that forumites were responsible enough to make the forums a vibrant place to exchange ideas in a healthy and responsible manner. It is allowed to agree that you disagree with a fellow forumite without resorting to name calling and the use of degrading language.
We are very much aware that the majority of our forumites are being bothered by just a small group who are spoiling the joy and the fun of the majority.
If you feel you can't or won't allow other forumites express their views freely because they don't meet your standards and you can't express that disagreement in a responsible manner, then please take your standards somewhere else.
If respect of yourself and others isn't part of your values and principles, we trust that you will find other places to express yourself.
If you don't have anything good to say and you feel you can't say it in a mature manner, you can trust that we don't want to hear it either. Hold your peace or go say it somewhere else.
We are striving to elevate the intellectual level of our discussions and interactions, anyone interested in this same goal is absolutely welcome to do so. Otherwise, we bid you a heartfelt farewell and you won't be missed.
Thank you for your valuable time.
The Administration.

While some people take delight in Insulting people with fake names, other attract insult to themselves by what they write. I do hope that those who use fake names to attack those they call their friends will stop. It is time to stop all these pretence and concentrate on the article, rather than individual. All wolves in sheep skin will no longer have a hiding place, bcos they will still be fished out - even if they use 20 different names.

Come on let have fun once again. I love you all.

I'm quite impressed. But Admin, I hope you know that charity begins at home? We gladly accept and respect your rules and hope that you do your own part and clean up your house too. This includes the kind of stories you report and the attitude of the 'writers" who report them. It's not about just demanding from the readers. If you want a forum where people can have mature and intelligent conversations, you need to put up stories and articles that reflect that. You can't just publish articles that encourage hate or tribalism and expect the reader's comments not to reflect that. What you give is what you get.

I am not happy with the way NFC is going about this whole issue. Why are comments made by some people not deleted and others are deleted? Why this preferential treatment? I read all the previous comments and surprised to see that comments by chovwe, ugonna and chioma were not deleted. Why that partiality?
Why is it that when they publish bad articles, they delete comments that are against the articles. Even when those comments are not vulgar? Ok, I quit.

Well said, Angry Forumite. Only comments that are in favour of the articles are kept even when they are vulgar. Preferential treatment are given to some mumbers that in support of the writer's opinion. Not fair t all.

I think it is wrong to delete comments made by others. No matter what is written,Fans should be able to express what they feel. This is total partiality.
