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.

quote: Ngonge: Refugees in their own land, saaxib? NGOs? Heh. They never make them like used to anymore, man (nationalists I mean). Are you born with a seriously fractured skull or something? Never heard of Internal Displaced Persons or are you still comparing the UK with Somalia, still asking people on the net how the tribal system works? I pity you, it looks like your doqonimo is beyond help. I suggest you learn about Somalia's political situation, till then you are a 12 year old, clueless girl in my eyes. Ballers: u call urself Nationalist and u call Children who are in their own Mother_land the so called SOMALIA refugees, i pitty u walaahi and i also pitty the so called SOMALI_WEYN with such talks I pity your mother for giving birth to this creature. Jumatatu: His nationalism is narrow as his mind it does not expand further than 'reer-qurac and reer-fulaan'...very shallow indeed. Why won't you sit in a corner and shut up you weak, pathetic person. Instead of only daring to give me a sneaky kick from the back when others are in it, confront me like a man. A person who rather has Somalia in turmoil and destruction, than to give the chance for a new Somalia for many Somalis [like these poor children of the topic at hand] in the comfort of his warm house in London. Just because the president doesn't hail from his clan. You are truly the most tragic figure of the three here. Qorshel: Puntland goverment should have helped this people, at least the younger ones stoping them from takin that glue, it damages their brain so bad. But who cares, while many of the Leaders themselves eat/chew pioson - Khat. Your post is the only useful one in this important thread. Indeed Pland police should for instance put a halt on the glue sniffing of children or even the drinking of alcohol and smoking of marihuana. Nobody can tell me they are not capable of this task. And as I said earlier, wich was totally ignored; there should be recreation provided to these children to stay off the streets. But lest not forget that there are other elements in Bosaso itself that have dropped the plight of this matter in the local agenda. These elements are the gangs, of wich the most notorious one: Ciyaal Faay spend their days trying to steal cars and rob people. Or even the skyrocketing drug- and peopletrafficking. Nevertheless there are things that can be done if they put their back into it. Nationalist is banned from Somalia Online. Admin Somalia Online

Some of the newbies just joining SOL are complaining about the system generated passwords in this format: XWS6LKJ Well, change your password to something you can remember. You can do that at the mailbox-->profile link on the top right corner of this page. PS: Always log out if you use the internet at a public computer. Enjoy your stay at SOL.

Lake we have recieved many complaints about you. The next time we recieve one more complaint about you we will have not choice but to block your posting rights and delete all your previous posts. Please respect our website and nomads here. Don't call Lazie anymore names. This is your last warning. Thank You.

wrong forum moved to WOMEN section.

Please edit the tribal names from your post. Thank You.

The site should be much faster and should be able to handle much more traffic. Thank You.

The front face experienced some down time today, which was a direct result of some changes/testing we made to our site. We apologize for the inconvenience. Everything should be smooth Insha ALlah.

Today, we approved close to 100 aliens as part of our cafis program for previous troublemakers or new members who had no one to sponsor them. This is some sort of a temporary experiment to see if our membership system can be improved. If this becomes as sucessful as our "MEMBERSHIP LOTTERY", "SILENT BAN" or CLOSED MEMBERSHIP programs have been, we will make this permanent and do this cafis on a yearly basis. 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 site clean. Thank You.

In the next few days, we will be adding an Af-Soomaali forum on SOL. All the af-Soomaali threads will be moved to that forum and the General section will be organized. This separation will make things easier for everyone. We have been getting complaints lately about the quality of the General section and the way the General section is organized. The majority of the nomads who come here prefer to write in the English language and we have to make changes to accommodate everyone.

Talking about bad publicity. We have been getting complaints about the constant insults and the personal attacks going on here lately. We are doing a mass clean up of individuals who we think are violating our website rules on purpose. These are the red flags. Multiple usernames Insults/vulgarity Complaints about SOL and its staff posted on the open forums (send pm if you have issues). Undermining Admins/Moderators's ability to do their job. Tribal names. The above is the quick list we are using to narrow down the abusers. We are investigating more individuals who we think are bringing down the quality of our website deliberately. We urge the nomads to respect others and avoid insults and personal attacks. SOL strict rules will always be here. Send us a private message if you see any attacks, tribal name or suspect an individual is using multiple usernames on our forums. As always, we rely on your input and we appreciate your help. That is one way you can help keep this forum clean. Do your part. Thank You.

Sue, I haven't seen any insults against the black race here and if I and moderators have missed any, the right thing is to forward it to the Admins/moderators and it will be deleted. I remember a while ago a young Somali girl posted couple of insults against African Americans using the "N" word and she did it more than one time. Her posts were deleted and she was banned from the site. SOL doesn't discipline nomads for saying they are not black. We just don't tolerate insults.

The avatar link in the "View/Update Profile" area inside your mailbox is now working. You can now select a new avatar image (the small picture under your username) or update your old one. We apologize for the delay. http://www.somaliaonline.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=edit_my_profile

Qacbaro, please respect other nomads and stop the personal attacks. Warning.
