Nimefurahi sana kuona umeandika kiswahili kama kabisaa cha nyumbani,Mungu akubariki

Nomads, the site was down because of an overwhelming traffic issue. SOL has been experiencing a larger than normal traffic lately and yesterday our server just gave up. It just had enough. We hope to solve this issue by upgrading our system.

After a long consultation with the moderator of this section, we made the decision that Jumatatu is best to leave this forum and can only come back if the nomad admits that he broke the golden rules of the forum and will not do so in the future. No "FAWDO", "hebel did it also" or "I can say whatever I want" sort of talk flies well with SOL. The rules are the same. Everyone must obey. No one is above the rules. We will never allow such detestable, sadistic insult become the norm in this section of the forum. “Attacking” personalities, warlords, rebel groups or any other hebel-created organization is legitimate and within the rules of SOL as long as the “vulgarity” rule is not broken. In our judgment, such an attack is not synonymous with a tribal attack. This rule has always been here and it will stay that way. Control your words. We don't care about your intentions. We leave that to Allah.” – that has been the slogan for the politics section. MMA has been doing a good job and it is very clear to us that the quality of this section has dramatically improved since he became a moderator. The usual fights are less frequent now, the insults are down, and for the first time the nomads who were only active in the politics section are becoming active in other sections of SOL. That is a positive change. Insha Allah things will even get better and the politics section will become a forum for high quality political debates. We are seeing the trend already.

To all the nomads specially those who sent the "angry" personal emails complaining about the downtime, we truly regret the inconvenience. This was a datacenter networking problem beyond our control.

This is MMA's investigation. I know he will be fair and the many individuals who are hiding in this forum with the "multiple clan/multiple nicknames" will be caught and banned from this forum.

I have brought the issue of HornAfrique/Wind.Talker double identity to the attention of the moderator of this section MMA. Him and I will make a complete investigation into the identity of HornAfrique and Wind.Talker which on our preliminary data shows to be of the same person. There are some individuals who have double identity on this politics forum and that is a clear violation of SOL rules. Anyone caught with such violation will be banned from SOL. We have to get rid of all those who abuse the site with garbage tribal talk, insults, multiple clan identity, etc. On the same token, any active defiance of our civility rules will not be tolerated.

If you have the "new mail" icon blinking on your browser without any new mail, you can get rid of it by opening your "SENT" folder and re-reading some of your messages. It is a cookie problem and that seems to solve the problem.

Nomads we have had problems with our server and all the private message are lost. Everyone's private message box is empty. We apologize for the inconvenience. This was something beyond our control. As you can notice, our site is a bid slower today. We are working to solve this "speed" issue and Insha Allah everything should get back to normal. Thank You.

Please don't post complaint topics. Do not turn genuine topics into complaints. The whole topic will be deleted (regardless of who posted it) and your username/identity blocked. Those who are here to disturb the peace will not be tolerated. Any individual seen to be taking advantage of that unfortunate Hibo/Athena personal exchange (which SOL has seen many times before) will be seen as having the motives to cause harm to SOL, its Admins and its good users. It is very personal for Admins. Vandalism and sabotage are not the conducts of what we consider a "nomad". Please do respect the rules of the website. PS: we ban individuals based on our own evidence. Ban Hibo or hebel, sack Athena or hebla are not something we were/are willing to listen to. We make our own decisions as to who to ban from SOL and who should be our moderator. Please don’t take advantage of the heated personal exchange between these two nomads who have both contributed to this forum in a positive way. FYI: the edit time limit is 12 hours as many of you have requested some kind of an extension beyond the 15 minutes we initially put in place.

Promoting your website/product on SOL forums without permission is clearly against the rules of Somalia Online? I will delete this topic after you read my comment.

Nomadic_Activist, you are banned from Somalia Online. Posting tribal names on SOL is something you seem to enjoy. You ignored our rules many times. Good luck.

************Sheik Cawad you are banned from Somalia Online. You made a habit of using tribal names on our website. **********

--- Direct personal attacks --- Insults --- Name-calling --- Indirect tribal insults --- Tribal names --- Bad-mouthing a whole society/region These have become the norm in this section lately. We will not tolerate this any further. This forum is a moderated forum. It is not an "open for everything" forum. There are folks here who feel insult, not intellect, is their only weapon for any political discussion. Very sad indeed. We have reached the conclusion that some individuals must be banned from this forum in order to bring stability and high level discussions back to the political section. That is the only solution to this mayhem. We will keep monitoring this section and ban silently those individuals who are here to ruin the quality of this section. For us this is very, very personal. Again, we apologize to our readers.

SHEIKH CAWAD, please don't post tribal names on our website again. If you are not familiar with our rules, we don't tolerate tribal names on this forum. ***** This is your first warning **********

^^ SKY and WIND.TALKER, please edit tribal names from your post. This is absolutely unacceptable. If you guys keep disrespecting the rules of the website, we would have no choice but to suspend your posting rights. We have rules. Please respect them. No mention of any derogatory tribal nicknames. Please. Warning. Admin Somalia Online Team

^^ It should work now. The glidge is solved.

It appears normal AYOUB. Are you sure your browser isn't having cookie problems? Apparently it is not a "remote linking" problem because it appears ok here on the forum. Just change your avatar to the one you like and delete cookies/cache/files and see if that helps. If you prefer, we can upload the image for you on our server.

Today, we approved 155 aliens as part of our "cafis" program for previous troublemakers and new members who had no one to sponsor them. To be on top of our quality control program, we are sincerely asking the nomads here to help SOL and informs us any troublemakers or anyone seen violating SOL rules on the open forums/private. Like always, we appreciate your help and all the "silent moderating" you do to help keep this the best Somali forum on the net. This is an exclusive club which is tough to get into and we plan to keep it that way. Thank You.

Thank You.

Please don't post complaints in public forum. If you have questions or concerns, just send us a private message and we will help you. As for those who are always replacing tribal names with "H", "I" and "D" Letters, you are just taking the risk of having your whole thread deleted or your username banned. We ask all of you to respect the rules of the site. Thank You.

DinkiWinki is banned from SOL. All his post are pruned. The alias handle he/she was using to post was under investigation for a while and we found what we were looking for. Admin.

Qudhac's post was deleted because India was making tribal insults. This kind of abuse will not be tolerated and we will delete any such such topic without an explanation or any kind of discussion. Waayeel, you are banned for somalia online for the simple reason of being disrespectful and creating attack threads against the staff. All your topics are mass deleted. Thank You

1. SOL Admins ban me for this if you want, I don't even care. These apes asked for it. 2. NGONE, I pity you, it looks like your doqonimo is beyond help. 3. BALLERZ, I pity your mother for giving birth to this creature. ----- Nationalist called nomads names, referenced someone's mother, and teased the staff to do something about his insults ... all on the same post. ------------- Does this warrant a ban? If no, Why not? NOTE: most of you slip and make a mistake or two. We are aware of everyone's shortcomings and we do try to be easy on the nomads when they break our rules. Even Nationalist broke our rules before. But what we don't appreciate is such long list of insults and the open defiance of our rules and staff. It is just not fair to let that go.
