Hopefully I can set up Singapore company to register the site to and get some grassroots leader to be one of the directors. He can advise me on what the community accepts and what they don't.

Then there'll be another site where people trade images and those disgusting links that the pervs seem to love. This site will reside offshore and will be policed to ensure it meets the legal requirements of the country where it is hosted ie no kiddie porn, rape scenes, bestiality and so on plus Singapore traffic will be screened.

In this day and age, it is important to be politically correct and sensitive to public opinion so I'm moving with the times.

Support your idea. Keep going boss, we need this community and cannot let it die. This is where we learn most useful sex education/information which we did not learn in school.

if they try to use child porn as an excuse, microsoft has a service that lets you identify all content for child porn. All you have to do is sign up at

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/photodna?cid=msnc-us

and pass all submitted photos through the API. then put banners big big to show that you are using such a service. That should shut 154 up.

Don't suck up to boss leh. Tell me why u think it is a great idea. General statement backed up with facts.

[Beachsea]

Yea think its tough for Boss .

1. Bad OKTS are spoiling sammy names and also causing more police alerts.
esp when they hire irresponsible kiddies to work for them.

2. We are all horny shits, but some are way over pervertic arse that cause more stir in this site.

3. To be honest sammy has been going downhill , less the gambling section , bad quality girls, be it local or the other FLs.

4. Maybe point system we need to look into also, as some idiots really have high points and stirring shit here.

But i like this Sammy not just because there are sexy girls, but also to expose so called 'innocent', act all mighty girls etc.... its shows us that life always have 2 sides or more.

Meanwhile i all also think of some ideas , hopefully to save a great site.
was thinking of weekly new password updates directly to emails (those that are verified). An exclusive invitation to log in, any compromise, that guy will be dropped off the mailing list and he cant even look at the website at all ?

just an idea...nothing much

Prostitution ads online: Judge voices concern over 'flourishing' forums


SINGAPORE: A District Judge in the State Courts raised concerns over the existence of online forum Sammyboy after hearing a case on Friday (Jul 10) related to sex workers advertising their services on the website.

District Judge Mathew Joseph said he was "concerned" with the site, after noting "a lot of activities" were present on the site involving "young, vulnerable people".

"The site seems to be flourishing," he added.

He said this in sentencing 41-year-old Foo Suan Wee to ten weeks' imprisonment for living off the earnings of prostitutes. Foo had pleaded guilty to four charges, with three others taken into consideration.

Judge Joseph asked the prosecution to check with the authorities to see if any actions were being taken against the Sammyboy site. The prosecutor said that he would pass on the feedback to enforcement agencies.

The site was cited in a High Court judgement on Dec 22, 2014, where a freelance photographer helped to advertise sex workers on the website and charged them a fee for his photographic and advertising services.

A check on the Sammyboy website revealed slogans such as "your virtual sex hub" and "commercial sex info at your fingertips". Threads pertaining to sex worker activities in areas, such as Geylang, Keong Saik and Desker, were present.

Sex work is legal in Singapore, but public solicitation for sex and living off the earnings of sex workers are illegal.

S$6,000 MONTHLY PROFIT FOR HELPING WITH PROSTITUTES' ONLINE ADS

Investigations revealed that sometime in September 2013, Foo had become a regular customer of a female Chinese prostitute before she asked him if he could help advertise her services on the Internet.

Foo then posted an advertisement on behalf of the girl on Sammyboy.

Subsequently, the prostitute referred others to Foo to advertise their sexual services. Foo began charging S$200 per month from each prostitute's earnings to advertise on different websites.

Foo would also trawl other websites for prostitutes and contact them via messaging app WeChat to ask if they wanted his help to advertise their sexual services. He would meet them to collect payment in cash before publishing photographs and information on such websites.

To keep the advertisements up on the websites, the prostitutes had to pay a monthly fee of between S$200 and S$300 to the accused. When he was arrested on Dec 19, 2014, the authorities found that Foo had helped advertise the sexual services of about 30 to 40 female prostitutes per month, making a monthly profit of about S$6,000.

Prosecution submitted that the case was aggravated due to the protracted period of advertising, the low-cost and high-multiplier nature of using the Internet, and the high monthly profits that Foo was getting from the offence.

Foo could have received a maximum five years' jail and a S$10,000 fine for his offence.

the issue is not with the pimps
the issue is with govt trying to get rid of illegal FLs
in the first place, if they have not raided geylang lor 8-14 , not many would venture into fl dome 2 , not only did they raided the whole place, they implemented the 2 IC thing on all hotels, this forced the FLs to go into living premises to conduct their businesses. also there are no streetwalkers now sad to say, they have been raided to death.

they only want controlled brothels girls operating in geylang.
my 2cents, the govt would not shutdown the site due to the enormous traffic and the repercussions it sets by blocking it

[LonerLoner]

2 cents here.

Shift ads from below the Sam's Kiwi Home into FL dome area. That is if you want to appear "safe". Since the people surfing FL section are looking for a night with someone, shift the ads there.

Continue trimming off sniping/underskirt pictures. They are the main reason on why our beloved forums are in the spotlight. It was too obvious when some underskirt pictures are showing the "scenery" of MRT/escalators/malls of SG. Maybe if you want to allow them to post, ask posters to further edit the background.. or just cut them off completely/place them into a special section where "rep" can't be upped/edited pictures but you don't know where are they taken from.

I want to say, thanks to Sam, I can maintain my sanity and fap happily. Thanks to great posters of Adult Discussion (great stories) and Link exchange plaza for avenues to just release it. Apologies if I'm offending anyone.

[facuv]

This is such an interesting forum for guys... singapore internet censorship rules are getting stupid

While i understand the need to prevent total collapse/restriction, how much to pay in order to browse for information? Wouldn't the lower membership result in fewer advertisement if everyone need to pay?

[howardhowardwen]

Hi all, I am relatively new to this forum and really like the information I can get here, be it sexual/non-sexual sharing of FRs, stories, experiences, etc.
I will feel really sad to see it kena attacked or polluted by bad sheeps

Read through the thread & some news articles, and I think 2 main issues are attracting public's attention:
1. Sharing of obscene materials
2. Pimping/OKT advertising

To tackle these two issues,
1. Sharing of obscene materials
Suggestion:
a) have more senior bros with good reputations (not rep points) who can willingly take up moderators role in sharing threads. They can help to vet through all the posts submitted with pictures or videos before approving/disapproving the posting to other members
b) have a separate sites for sharing among members instead of within sbf (like what boss sam mentioned)

2. OKT advertising
Suggestion:
a) separate FRs & banners into two different sections. Have a separate FRs section exclusively to paid members. Have the advertisment on another sub-site/totally different sites. This could help trim the size of the forum & any pimping will not be occurring on sbf site itself. To be honest I am currently not a paying members but looking at the current situation I am seriously considering of becoming one.. No free lunch in the world.. Even ntuc fairprice membership need to pay..

Other suggestions:
- promote more on values that public will appreciate: like safe-sex, against underage prostitution, paedophiles, sexual health issues.. To appear more "healthy"
- encourage members to do more reporting on posts/members who are breaking rules and regulations, and if found to be true, the members who made these reports can be rewarded in certain ways like rep pts.
- encourage members to report on fake FRs, fake pictures (similar to #2). This should trim the FLs dome size

Honestly speaking I think the attention on sbf is just a diversion tactic by the media.. On other more critical issues by government bodies or related companies. Sad to see sbf becoming a sheep to be blamed..

And sorry if I repeated any similar ideas shared by other bros or have my suggestions simply deemed as stupid ideas. Just trying to contribute even if it's a small one.
I really hope sbf can survive this round of attack.

Lastly, thank you boss sam for still trying and not shutting down sbf directly. Appreciate everything u and ur team has done

[limmm51]

Close down this forum for what?

[Icecass]

i read with great interest the comments and feedback being given regarding our beloved forum. Truth be told, i've been here for quite a while... here are some feedback/comments which i hope will contribute to this forum.

1. Sharing amongst chiongsters' is key. I read about the 'we chat' scams and then met one. Recalling my fellow bro's advice, i told the ah tiong bitch to shove it! Tks bros!.

2. Voyer pics - this is a no no... we will be dragged in everytime there's a perv being caught & made headline news of... let's draw the line at vivid descriptions as in one of the threads & nothing more.

3. Local gal pics - what can i say... how dumb can we get... posting friends, friends of friends, screen grabs, etc. of SG girls... words spread, dad/mum is some high power exec... website gets shut down... guys... seriously??!!!

4. OKTs - i understand the income stream for the website thing... but let's be honest... most of the pics/FRs are all fake man!!! I know first hand... gone to so many of them & my 'warm apple pie' ends up looking & tasting more like mashed apple... how do we protect the interests of our fellow chiongsters?

5. Rep Points - we may have missed the plot of the concept of rep points. I dun believe its at all effective as many post literally to beg for rep points... sad but true.

Moderator, i apologies in advance for my rant and lack of constructive suggestions. In all honesty, i've not given much thought into what could work for this forum. I'll come back when i've got some ideas to put forth.

Peace!
