Agree but premium members should be able to access FL dome regardless of power.

Either the moderators of this forum place more restriction in this forum (self censorship). For example post with photo and links will need to be approved by a mod before it can be posted. This will help filter away those termed "undesirable" content by the local authority but this need quite a lot of manpower . I think gradually forum users also will reduce photo and links posting and back to basic of text information.

Or another options is do nothing at all... start educating forum users to use VPN or proxy server to bypass whatever ban or censorship that can happen in the future. Those who cannot learn or too lazy to learn, too bad ...

Time to rename the forum.

This current govt expects all stakeholders to contribute to NATION BUILDING. There are many ways to contribute to nation building. This current govt adopts a very conservative approach, while this website has a more liberal approach.

The current sentiment is not about the PRC OKTS at HDB, but about the underage sex case and the upskirt court cases, which in a short span of time, contributed to a large number of court cases, and the civil servant workload. Imagine if my performance bonus is based on KPIs and the caseload spiked, I would have done no different from them.

I don’t think the issue is with the website contents, but more about the ppl who patronise this site. To improve the situation, I recommend the following actions.

1. Contribute towards nation building, and not just satisfying individual fetishes. OKTs at HDB, trading in unregistered SIM CARDS or sammyboy IDs, Grinding axes, personal attacks, are activities that is not consistent with nation building, and should not be tolerated. This is a great opportunity for this website to shape Singapore culture, the way it should be.

2. Even illegal casinos do not allow weirdos to shit on their front doors and mess things up, so why does this website tolerate members who simply have no system discipline? Every society has culture and ground rules, this forum should be no different. Enforcement action should be taken to promote a certain SBF version of a “nation building” culture. Why tolerate a few bad hats bent on destroying a Singapore heritage. There is nothing wrong with embracing diversity and liberalism, but we still need ground rules.

3. Personally, I think a SMS registration system is useful, but I am not sure if this is in line with forum objectives.

This forum has contributed greatly towards my life since the Delphi forum days. Hope my kids can benefit from this forum too.

The latest case is about some guy who was advertising on behalf of prostitutes and taking a cut. I'm trying to figure out a way of ensuring that the girls advertise directly with no middleman to criminalise the process.

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

If you can stomach the loss of advertising revenue in exchange for your safety of not breaking laws, by all means go ahead and ban FL advertisements.

The site began in the spirit of sharing good fr and good fls get their income through here by word of mouth . That how its flourish, I have came across countless fls, locals or prc, who having heard of SBF and requested for a good fr so that they have more clients. They didn't even have to leave a finger to come in and write up a cv of themselves. But gone are those days,
the pimps comes in write up fake fr and post fake pics.

But boss even if FL deals directly by putting ad, they still consider solicitiing. At least we must have a system where all stake holders are protected. For pimps, like what some bro suggest, either you banned them completely or make money off them by charging them a high premium to put up their ad.

Ok I've thought things over and it is pretty obvious that the site is not welcome by the general population of Singapore anymore. The abuse by the press is unrelenting.

My strategy therefore will be to shift out of Singapore borders and concentrate on marketing in other Asian countries.

The busiest websites of any genre always end up as the whipping boys by the authorities to be made an example of. Eg thepiratebay.org is repeatedly targeted while other torrent sites get away scott free.

If I am not welcome, I will depart. However, I'll select a core group of long term samsters plus paying members and give them access via my private vpn.

Whatever your decision we respect boss, end of the day its your site.

why not setup 2 versions of the forum. one for adult discussions and sharing of pictures, the other for FLs and the related.
I am sure quite a number like me, just enjoy reading stories or viewing/sharing pics without going to the FL sections.

Also can add a points requirement to enter the picture sharing area of the 1st forum. The 2nd forum using a VPN sounds good, since the paying members still get their FL data they signed up for.

If still worried about underaged content as 154 puts it, have a moderator to approve every post if it contains a picture or links to pictures in the shared picture subforum then.They can share ZIPS/RARS without moderation.
I'm sure we won't mind waiting a little longer for the post to be approved.
You just want to ensure 154 does not see the sex part of the forum when they have no power/points.

Or if you really want to go under the radar, setup the site in the darknet. I can help you with that.

Thanks for your suggestions. However, I still want to service the advertisers... there are more than just singapore banners.

I'll contact you with a few ideas though. It is sad what has happened to the internet. I never dreamed it would end up the way it is today. There's more control of what you do on line than there is of what you do in your real life.

I disagree with this, its like culling the forest to save a few trees but how do you know these few trees are not rotten themselves?
