Popular Nigerian online Forum, Nairaland is currently down for the past 24 hours.
Seun Osewa, founder of the forum has reacted over the issue.
According to him, I’m sorry guys.Nairaland isn’t coming back today.”
“It’s a human issue, not a technical issue.”
“This did not need to happen at all.A little oversight caused this. I’m begging them.”
“The technical support team has informed me that only the abuse team has the power to reinstate our server, that their review could take up to 48 hours, and that nothing can be done to speed up the process.
I’ve been informed that the only thing I can do is wait. It’s humbling.”
” Nairaland’s server was taken down because I overlooked an abuse report that was originally sent on the 14th. After the takedown, I removed the offensive content.”
” The UI for bringing back the server didn’t work so it took hours to get support on how to get that done. Minutes after the forum was brought back, they took the server down again with no warning.”
“I’m guessing that the content I removed was still cached on Cloudflare servers, so they could still see it. I have cleared the caches now, but they are not communicating. I hope they will communicate tomorrow.”
“If you have any ideas for working with abuse teams, please share. My track record is abysmal.”
