This banning is a good one. I also think that this forum should be restricted to stock market/investment issues alone. Issues on sales of land, forex trading and the likes, I personally feel do not below here (maybe others thinks otherwise). For instance, how can one advertise a piece of land and request payment when potential/intended buyer/s has not seen the plot. I remember the thread on 'Diaspora village in Abuja'

Diaspora Village in Pyakasa, Abuja.

Personally, issue/s that has/have elements of 419 should not at all feature in this respectable forum.

Whenever you have a public forum like this, the future direction can not be fully determined. The SMN originators might have only stock trading in Nigeria as their original objectives. However, with the increasing popularity and REPUTATION, the contributors are changing it to ONE POINT STOP for good business opportunities. The other opportunities that have 'sneaked' in are Forex, Land sales, mini-stock broking, etc. Is this the right way forward? Like in any business, diversification has its Pros and Cons. One other thing to be considered here is that SMN is a completely free forum with no membership fees.

Pros of diversification
One point stop for business opportunities, which some members actually want.
More opportunities to get more adverts, thereby more revenue.
Increased revenue may lead to improved service.

Cons of diversification
Loss of focus. This might lead to loss of some members. Other become inactive.
This lack of focus can also lead to loss of adverts. Potential customers might just take SMN as any other forum and ignore it.
More opportunities for 419 people to sneak in.

This is a DECISION POINT that needs to be carefully analysed before a way forward is determined.

My Suggestions:
1. Put more focus on Stock trading Activities that gave SMN its initial REPUTATION.
2. SMN originators should create a Fee paying advert section for "Verified other opportunities". In this section, SMN should critically investigate this so called opportunities and publish their investigations (with their caveat). With this, the need for holding up SMN's reputation and (future) Revenue generation will be adressed.
3. Other oppurtunities can still run in the general forum. However, continue to monitor, delete, ban, etc those that are obvious 419 deals. The "other opportunities" that migrate to the Fee paying section will be given more regard.



Lastly...
One thing we all ought to know is that in almost ANY area of Revenue yielding venture, there are always 419 people around looking for oppurtunities to make a their own gain. They are very innovative and can present themselves in various disguise. There are mainly two classes. Like in stock trading, some believe in "Short term", i.e., quickly hit you and take off. This class usually dupe small amounts of money. Some also believe in "Long Term", i.e., take there time, let you build more confidence in them, and finally hit you BIG. This class can kill!!!
