However, it was soon apparent that there was hardly any moderation. X-rated contents were allowed and discussions would go on and on. Offending members were revered by some and described as funny. Offended people hardly had anyone to stand their corner and I tried but it was in vain. The offended then also became offenders when responding to others postings and it seemed this was a vicious cycle. I thought I'd ignore some people and avoid certain folders, but that wasn't as easy. Posts that seemed to genuinely ask for advice or express interest were littered with nasty comments here and there. It seemed there were many with too much time in their hands just dedicated to offend and mock

as you may already know, i’ve been having quite a problem regulating mashada.com, despite having recently hired people to moderate the forums. It is starting to become a reflection of what is going on on the ground in kenya. I’d hate for it to hinder our current efforts since i’m directly connected to it, therefore i’m having to shut down the forums until further notice. Facilitating civil discussions and debates has become virtually impossible.
