In light of the series of recent events that have occurred, Skillz must assume the role as forum ettiquette enforcer. Those who wish to abuse their granted forum powers will have to make ammendeds to Skillz. Looking at some of the postings, Skillz notices quite a few new members among us. Welcome to Malawiana, Malawi's own online forum. I became a member back when Malawiana saw the most violent feuds between my son Ayatollah, his luetenants, game, abre, kesso, black panther, lady b, ngwazi and the other random folks. At that time, I held the rank of newbie. Some of you saw Skillz get insulted, and even recieve blows to his integrity. Yet, I endured, and striked back. By the time I established myself as forum ettiquette enforcer, very few members remained distinguished on this forum. Those that survived are the big names you see today. They have enjoyed fruitful postings on this site with their dignity still intact. Buttomline-Those that do not uphold forum code live short lives.
At this time, Skillz wishes to switch the direction of this forum. I wish to bring back the explosive debates, discussion, and allow for this site to serve as a medium of exchanging ideas as it once did. Jokes are permitted too, so long as they are tasteful. Picture comments and other forms of slander however, are warrant for attack. For some these are words of assurance. For others, these are words of warnning.
Skillz, hated by many, loved by few, respected by all
young man excuse yourself. Your posting did not make any sense whatsoever. What was the logic in your suggestion about starting the forum before JRC? And why Hova? what nerve do you have in telling me to be quiet? do you have any respect for your superiors? Seeing as how you are new, you are redeemed.
JRC and I have been allies long before the likes of you arrived on the scene. I don't have to be moderator to have considerable stake in this forum. I'm skillz, I impose my will however I wish. 5 posts huh? not worthy enough to be any sort of object to excerise any sort of power.
One must study the terrain before commencing an attack. New bies must know who not to cross paths with. Then again, I may take your suggestion into consideration. I take no satisfaction in destroying low life personas.

I dont agree with the above,just because someone is a "newbie" does not make the person less knowledgable than the ones who have been here for ages.Again it implies that the "newbie"cannot think for themselves and have to rely on someone to guide them on who to respond to or engage intellectually with and that my friend is a myopic and dangerous view.
We have to accept that people with differing views to ourselves will join and leave the forum.It is only right that we deal with the contents and quality of their postings rather than how long they have been forum members.It does not matter who you are here or anywhere,one should not be constrained with the length of ones stay on a forum to be able to tackle issues.
osamakhala ngati anthu a Form 2 who cant just wait to put one over a form 1newbie, who they would like to terrorise and terrify.Si unyakwawa kapena ufumu uwu woti a nkhala kale okha ndi amene amalandila,change your attitude to all those coming onto the forum,make them feel welcome and dont intimidate them.

Its obvious we have different interests. And to be frank, it is of least worry that newbies are intimidated by the tactics I employ for disciplinary action. Just as you have the right to disagree with my claims, I too have the right to downtrod ideas that are different to mine. All issues ont his forum are open to debate. And if I add insult to injury by reserving my right call one a low life on principle of being a newbie and giving skillz dictation to be quiet then so be it.
"Again it implies that the "newbie"cannot think for themselves and have to rely on someone to guide them on who to respond to or engage intellectually with and that my friend is a myopic and dangerous view."
My statement simply questions one's authority, a newbie at that, in telling me to be quiet or withdraw statement because I'm not JRC. It does not at all imply that one must rely on my guidance. Those that follow my postings know that I'm not one to provide guidance. I set forth my message, and from time to time I do it aggresively.
