Xasan Nasra, Cilmi and Lynx will be banned from Somalia Online next time we see any name calling. This is the last warning.

SamiGyrl, this is second time your message was edited on this thread alone. Please stop using those derogatory qabiil names on our website. This is your last warning.

Originally posted by king_450: so my dear admin , i have not done any of these Speachless. I won't call you a liar. I will just assume you forgot. You are a human-being afterall. We all are. But here are some samples to show that we weren't lying when we said you broke the rules. On May 26th, you wrote: school has nothing to do , when it comes to ur being, damn fool it shows how ****** u r , connecting b/w school and tribe, they are not related fool http://www.somaliaonline.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=000301;p=2 On May 26th, you wrote: skinny somali , that is an insult how dare you call that, you have no idea that somali women are the most gorgeous women in the universe, so when you have to open ur damn dirty mouth you better have the backing of it, just do not isult ppl and don't have the facts, it only shows how little minded you are , ****** http://www.somaliaonline.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=6;t=001562;p=4 Now, what do you call "insults or personal attacks"? On our "values" book if you call somebody "****** , fool", you are insulting them. Insults are considered personal attacks. King, we are not here to argue about "you did this and you did that". The bottomline is brother you broke the rules on different occasions. You have been told to respect others when you signed up for an account. Instead of acknowledging your shortcomings, you have tried to make us the villain for giving you a simple warning. Perhaps you didn't realize that all we were trying to do was just to "KEEP THE PEACE". salaama

This is what we have to go through every now and then. king_450, the following is the private message you recieved on May 27th, 2003 from Admin. King, we welcome you to Somalia Online. Please remember that I spotted you attacking other nomads more than once. I will take this that you are still not familiar with our strick rules. Please respect others and avoid vulgarity/profanity on the forums. There are 3 moderators keeping an eye on you because of complaints from other nomads. I hope you understand our rules. RESPECT is all we demand. How did you interpret the above pm? What would we have against you brother? Did you want us to treat you differently from the rest? If you are saying you never insulted/attacked anyone, the record shows otherwise. We saved all the posts and the nomads you attacked are still here . King, warnings are given out daily to new members. They are nothing personal. PS: next time you have an issue, please private Admin and discuss that with us. salaama

Opinionated and Simple Woman, please don't call any nomad a name here. Please let us respect the rules of the website.

Please contact admin by private (PM) if you ever have questions. We made it very clear before that these kind of topics are not useful in getting you the answers you want.

Those of you who are new to the website, your stay here might be short if you don't respect the rules of the website and avoid the profanity. Rules are still the same. No personal attacks, no vulgarity/profanity. No disrespect of other nomads. Thank You

Thanks Ruba, Filsan and Nazra. We have had couple of set backs last week including death. I am very sure the crew is on the right track now. Please bare with us nomads.

The rules are still the same. Please don't attack anybody directly. Respect for other nomads is all we demand.

Nazra, next time we catch you insulting other nomads, we will suspend your posting rights. Please respect others.

******************************************** MIZZ_Lexus, Please stop the name calling and personal attacks. Next time you break the rules, your posting rights will be suspended. *********May 15th, 2003************** Admin Somalia Online

Kool Kat, we got your April 15th REPORT ABUSE message about an abusive alien and that repeated offender was banned from Camel Milk Threads as soon as we got your private message. Admins and moderators usually don't reply to "REPORT ABUSE" threads but instead they get to work and deal with that thread or individual. We appoligize if you were waiting for a reply. We assumed our actions to be the best reply.

As some of you have noticed, the website was down for two hours yesterday becuase of technical problems. Some of the privates got corrupted and some members couldn't send privates or post. OG, there is no need for us to delete or block the name of any member who behaves as good as you. We have never had problems with you and will never delete, block or sanction you in any way as long as you follow the rules of the site. Relax bro. This is a technical glitch and we are working on bringing back the member data.

Thanks Ladiif for pointing out the needed name change. Madhibaan is a more civil word and we have renamed the thread title.

Please don't advertise on here without permission. Contact admin by private message if you have a product to advertise on this website. Thank You.

Asalamu Alaykum greeting is back. It wasn't actually taken out on purpose it just got lost on the upgrading process. I hope you all forgive us for that. Our plans are to upgrade the community and the music section by early May Insha Allah. The chat also should be back soon Insha Allah. In the meantime, enjoy what you have. Thanks.

If the name callings and personal attacks continue, we will block the individuals responsible from our site. Please respect our rules and stop the personal attacks. Debate the issues with civility. No need to insult each other.

Originally posted by SamiGyrl: did you see when I put that picture up last time how they administration deleted it? And why aren't "they" deleting it now? What has changed? Sami, I think nomads would appreciate if you stopped engaging in these pernicious lies about the staff here and started debating issues in less derogatory ways. If your post was ever deleted it is because you have a tendacy to attack others or make baleful qabiil remarks like "faqash" here -- remember Mooryaan, Iidoor and Faqash are terms used by hardcore tribalist to describe others and we banned such derogatory terms from our website along with the referencing of any qabiil names. The rules are always the same. Please respect others and debate issue with civility.

Maroodi Jeex: A Somaliland Alternative Journal ISSN 1097-3850.Issue number 10 (Fall 1998) MEMOIRS: THE UPROOTED NOMAD OF THE EARTH By Abdilahi Haji Mohamed* Ottawa, Canada [*] "I was a typical Somali nomad who modestly in winter time when there was no rain and arrogantly in spring time when there was rain perceived himself - of course along with our beloved camels - as a species part of nature, in harmony with nature, but never a master of nature" [*] "Life has its ups and downs" [*] "The very nature of a nomad is mobility with survival skills but the survival skills one needs in the jungle world of New York are a lot different than those for the jungles of Africa" Our definition of a nomad ain't no different from that mentioned by the author. Play with your definition of a nomad, but we all(atleast most of us) must agree on couple of things Mobility (act of moving around). Survival skills. Love for our beloved camels (probably true for majority of Somalis if not all) Arrogant (Think positive here!!! We are Somalis) Nomad is a Somalia Online term used for the Somali internet users who belong to this site. Soon, all Somali internet user will simply be called a "nomads" Insha Allah. It is an idea that we are trying to popularize and put into the upcomming Somali computer textbooks. The "internet citizens" of many nations have nicknames so why not give the Somali net users a common nickname. This term also unifies the Somali people whether they are from NFD, the OGADEN, Djibouti, Somaliland, Somalia or from any other nation. What does it take to have the nomad title here? Well, when you reach a stage "in your life" where you have posted enough, we will recognize you a nomad. As for your title being changed for you, Sorry bro. We can't do that. That is just the way things are here.

I don't know what this post is doing in this forum. Lovely me has been here long enough to select the right forum. :confused:

Tagane, why would we pick on you. What makes you different from other nomads here? What would we have against you to make such claims? Brother, do you remember what you wrote under the thread "THE RECRUIT" posted by Mr. Millenium in which he was trying to get feedback for the movie he saw. I didn't see why you personally attacked the nomad and made those obscene sexual remarks. Many nomads have seen it and complained about your post. If you have a tendacy to forget things right after you write them, then I would advice you to avoid negetivity that might get you in trouble here. Please respect the rules of the site. Your message here didn't offend anyone or else it would have been edited or deleted. I just chose this thread right after you posted your message just to warn you and others who might think it is alright to break the rules.

Tagane, you have been attacking other nomads for the last couple of posts, sometimes using vulgarity. Next time we catch you do that again, we will have no choice but to suspend your posting rights. Admin

Lazie, posts are only deleted if the poster is not following our strick posting rules. There is always the chance that your thread is moved to the appropriate forum by one of the moderators, so I would advice you to check other forums first. In general, here are some of our posting rules ... No personal attacks on another nomad No vulgarity or inappropriate language No qabiil talk No "double posting" on multiple forums(you are already guilty of this by posting two similiar threads on different forums ) Also, if a nomad keeps posting on the wrong forum after we have tried to educate him/her about the rules of posting on the appropriate forum, we will not move any more of his/her threads. Instead, we will simply delete them. Jokes are posted on the JOKES FORUM Politcs/somalia/somaliland/world issues are posted on the POLITICS FORUM Important non-political social debates are posted on the CAMEL MILK DEBATE FORUM Relationships, dating, women issue are posted on the WOMEN FORUM Technology, science, school talk, or anything relating to education are posted on TECH TALK FORUM ... etc ... etc
