Re- launch of the forum - Page 10

Bro,
Thx for not including me in the cull list.
I admit that I haven't been an active contributor, but allow me to speak my 2 cents' worth.

The events which led to the re-launching of this forum has troubled me, because it's just like the MIWs to deny alternative voices the space to express themselves.

The timing of this can only mean 1 thing, n I think all bros n sis will agree that this is all about laying the groundwork for GE.

The need of the powers-that-be to justify these actions speaks volumes.

I of course may be reading too much into this.

Whatever it is, I hope that spirit behind this forum can and will be retained.

Just my 2 cents' worth.

Sorry if I sound like I have been reading too conspiracy theories.

But majority of the prostitutes (FL, escorts etc) in Singapore are not legalized except those with yellow cards operating in designated zones.

I think 90% of the business comes from those illegal ones which even the govt finds it a challenge to contain. Those FLs especially the foreigners also need a pimp to sell the services. I'm not in this business so will let the experts comment how to deal with this ancient profession.

Another problem is those posting "stolen" pictures & voyeurs that attract major legal issue. I haven't really noticed but if someone starts to post potential paedophile materials then it will spell trouble. I think boss should make effort to contain these postings & set about mods + guidelines.

Agree on making it a credit-card paying site for registration & certain "sensitive" areas so it'll create a barrier for under-aged access which might weed out clones too.

I stand corrected, but the fact that I am able to access the forum and post suggests that I have been excluded from the culling. If I am correct, thanks.

Be that as it may, selective culling merely reduces the probability of bad hats in the forum. It does not eradicate the problem. To be effective, culling has to be wholesale, which leads me to a radical suggestion, one that may, or may not, be acceptable to the forum owner or the forum members.

My suggestion is to temporarily shut down the forum entirely, say for up to 6 months. After that, the forum can be resuscitated. The forum owner can then accept membership, either based on a paid basis or based on conditions that the forum owner may impose, eg, proof of past membership.

I believe that the forum has invaluable intrinsic value. I have been a member since the Delphi days. My present nick is my third reincarnation. I have no fear of not be able to find the forum again and I suspect I should qualify for membership if based on past contributions. If not, then all the best to the forum owner and thanks for the memories.

Thanks for not culling me, yet. As you said earlier, there will some filters depending on posting and lurking patterns. Hope this forum will be kept going in the long years to come.

I don't disagree with you on the Gee Eee stuff. =D

What I can suggest is a lag time for membership / account start up + time limited ban for posting certain types of materials based on members reporting.

So, once a person's account is banned, if he wants to post more, he starts another account, but cannot post immediately, so he has to wait for a few days to post his materials.

He can use another already created account, but at the risk of that account being banned too. This might slow down the tide a little.

Personally I don't see anything wrong with the FLs portion (though a few SBF-ers did talk about the PRC pimps issue, but I'm not sure with what's happening there), though the sniping portion might be getting out of hand a little.

I did not get culled! I'm alive! =) This forum too, will stay afloat! Best source of entertainment when OC not around. All the best boss!

I've been a long time follower of this forum although only rarely active unless there's something useful or have a view to share.

This forum for me has indeed been a great resource and information on all things related to sex in Singapore and has helped me with my first FL encounter and many after. I have to say I enjoyed earlier years when FLs were real and bros were really just genuinely helpful to newbies to this game. Indeed much of what's in here are spoilt by too much false advertising, spammers and such.

Do hate to see the site go but hopefully the Phoenix with rise from the ashes and we will get a brand new SBF in time. Whatever your decision bro I know it's difficult but we will support it and hope to see you back somewhere soon!

Thank you!

It would have been great if the forum could have continued without any advertising thereby keeping out the commercial in-fighting.

However, the harsh reality of having to pay the bills every month meant that by 2005, providing a free service was no longer a viable option.

sennheiser · #**146** 13-07-2015, 07:59 PM

Boss, thanks for being upfront with the information.

Can only hope that enough policing has been done to get the heat off the forum.

Abcdefghijklmn · #**147** 13-07-2015, 08:34 PM

Here is my few cents.

Start a contest within Sammy boy. The contest is, the first person report advertiser operate illegally, will get a reward. Using the report, the person will be send to police.

Secondly, all topics about personal experience, has to use a common name. No more names in case some brothers are stupid enough to write real name and end up sabotage.

Third, for photographs that seem to be taken on purpose such as upskirt, will be send in to police for review. The person in photographs must give their consent so not to violate pdpa and police cannot say any thing if the materials are with consent.

Last, I love Sammy boy, but I hope you guys can be saved from the assholes. Cooperate with police, and who knows this can become a healthy forum for sex.

Prostitution is legal. Pimping is not. Remove the pimp and the police are not longer bogged down by the sex industry.

Perhaps you should start a Chinese class for ah tiong pros to learn how to advertise in English Classified. These ladies paid hundreds to the "site owners" on top of theor few thousand rental for ONE ROOM....

Perhaps restrict new members from asking for ctcs till they have offered a few of their own contacts to the moderators. Moderators can assess their credibility by trying out the contacts to suss out the fake ones and the veiled guise of the authorities. Only when moderators are satisfied can the new members post their replies etc on the public forum.
