Comments on: Recognition of bloggers by the government may become a ‘kiss of death’ http://www.tremeritus.com/2009/01/22/recognition-of-bloggers-by-the-government-may-become-a-kiss-of-death/ The Voice of Singaporeans for Singapore Sat, 11 Feb 2012 20:47:28 +0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: satay satyam http://www.tremeritus.com/2009/01/22/recognition-of-bloggers-by-the-government-may-become-a-kiss-of-death/comment-page-1/#comment-2054 satay satyam Sat, 24 Jan 2009 03:01:50 +0000 http://wayangparty.com/?p=4352#comment-2054 From what little I c over there as I dont like TOC very much. The only one who dares to stand up to TOC is the brotherhood internet liason officer sd aka sgdaddy. But the only reason why he has the clout to be so brazen is bc they also happen to have quiet a big loyal readership. This is what they also do in the gaming world. They will group together and then begin to demand terms and conditions. I notice one thing, providing all of us are not united and we r just like loose sand, it is very hard to stand up against the likes of toc, luckily we have this place. This is probably the last place where we can all find the truth. From what little I c over there as I dont like TOC very much.

If a newspaper gets an idea for a story from a blog and especially if they pull pictures from a blog, it is wrong if they don't mention somewhere in the article where the source of their information originated. In order to combat this, perhaps you could pool together some kind of blogger database or wiki that catalogs blogger stories that get filtered to the mainstream press.

I can't comment on TOC's editorial policy. As for Wayangparty here, I dare say we are the most liberal blogs around. We approve over 95% of the comments posted here without any moderation. Eugene Hi there,

We have received many feedback about TOC censoring and moderating even innocuous comments posted on their blog.

I can’t comment on TOC’s editorial policy. As for Wayangparty here, I dare say we are the most liberal blogs around. We approve over 95% of the comments posted here without any moderation.

Those of us who have posted in TOC realised that our posts were either censored or removed rather quickly(the thread taken off). One good thing about taking part in foreign country forums (in the internet) is that there is almost no censorship. If someone were to post something silly or untenable, other netizens would step in to correct the person. As I see it, TOC will lose its effectiveness as a voice for the common S'porean.
