RE: Calling All Africa, Let Us United
Being strictly for users from Africa is, I think, a wrong call.
Being strictly for some other continent might be deemed offensive.
If the goal of the communities are to help out each other like you said before, than why limit the scope of the users willing to help each other out?
What I'm trying to critize is the strictness you are performing.
i feel you @turco
i think what he is doing is to link all Africans since many in Africa are disadvantaged both financially and also data in Africa is not cheap and easy...
I am not sure if you have been in channels before, especially post promotion ones. When you have a specific goal in mind you have to have very strict rules. There are a lot of spammers and simply having an open channel would cause one huge mess. To avoid this these "strict" rules are in place. Those who want to help out are still allowed to do so, by messaging me and we can chat about it all.
I think I understand, except how making the channel exclusive to Africans would prevent spammers.
You can only get invited to the channel by myself and a few others, meaning it is not open for everyone to join :)
I do understand that, but your criterion in assessing whether someone is a spammer or not is their national identity. Not nice in my opinion. Anyways, hope you achieve your goals regarding helping people out! (:
Lol I haven't put a label on anyone, spammers come from all nations, that is why the community is strictly for Africans only :)
