Darryn Turbocharged April 3, 2014 Share April 3, 2014 Interesting Article on Stomp. While I think the idea of "helping the govt" to monitor is a bit extreme - I do think that stomp panders to poor journalism, small mindedness, gossip and innuendo and should be banned. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benarsenal Turbocharged April 3, 2014 Share April 3, 2014 (edited) STOMP editor Azhar Kasman's response? "What STOMP's citizen journalists contribute are matters that are of concern and importance to them and their community." Fark la. If the kind of things on STOMP are "matters of concern and importance", then we're screwed up big time. People who post on STOMP are petty, childish and have extremely small-minds.

Whats wrong with small mindedness, gossip and innuendo? People who are petty, childish and have extremely small-minds love it. And there are a lot of people here that are like that. I don't wish to stereo type but a lot of people are like that. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jokerd 2nd Gear April 19, 2014 Share April 19, 2014 Well, there's a petition to shut down stomp that you can sign now (I have to confess that I have my doubts if SPH will actually listen) http://www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/sph-stomp-com-sg-close-down-stomp-com-sg STOMP shutdown thing actually came out on Al Jazeera: http://www.theonlinecitizen.com/2014/04/al-jazeera-discusses-stomp-controversy-mda-mci-decline-invite/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, I suspect the authorities all over the world would like this. We are entering into the era of self-policing community and curtailed civil liberties. .

Watwheels Supersonic April 19, 2014 Share April 19, 2014 stomp is a website that encourages social unrest and complaints amongst the citizens..... i think it's a damm stupid site Yes. But a lot of ppl stil visit the website. LoL... Good for advertisers and huat for SPH. Sometimes when ppl wish for media liberty, websites like stomp give ppl the chance but it also attracts the wrong group of ppl. How to filter out idiots and childish behaviour? That's the tough part.

There's this quote I read somewhere that stuck with me. Small minds discuss people. Mediocre minds discuss events. Great minds discuss ideas.

Super7 Turbocharged April 19, 2014 Share April 19, 2014 stomp is a website that encourages social unrest and complaints amongst the citizens..... i think it's a damm stupid site Some say those who do wrong and kena stomped more or less deserve it. Those who do good and are stomped probably don't really care. Those who do neither good or bad are unlikely to be stomped. Those who stomp the last group of people, eg because of frivolous things like poor sense of dressings / born having an ugly face, driving father's Ferraris, having a chio gf, etc, are the ones who give stomp a bad name. The thing is stomp is near impossible to control. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noble plan, but what I forsee for you: Cat 1 : 10% (mostly the Cat R gossip) Cat 2+3: 0.1% Cat R : 89.9% :D You and @TVT 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benarsenal Turbocharged April 19, 2014 Share April 19, 2014 Perhaps, and this is just a theory here, people here feel repressed, and Stomp is their avenue to let out. And because they feel that they cannot express their frustrations in normal avenues (because will be shot down), they go overboard on Stomp. A bit like punching bag in a sense. I mean, if you are unhappy with things, by all means express it. But do it in a sensible, meaningful way, rather than just whacking mindlessly just because you a bit buay song about small little things here and there. So maybe Govt also has to look at itself and see why Stomp has become the way it does. But maybe I guess secretly inside the people in the ivory towers are happy that people are directing their KPKB-ing on their 'dedicated platform' rather than attacking the real source. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
