This reply came after a STOMPer reported about the forum being flooded with links to pornographic websites.
Young PAP says in its response:
"The YP Discussion Forum is meant as an open platform for discussion and as such, we take a 'light-touch' approach to moderation.
"Unfortunately, there will always be individuals who prefer to engage in unconstructive postings than engage in discussion on current affairs.
"There is also the technology challenge of bots indiscriminately spamming discussion boards such as ours.
"While we had previously tried to manage inconvenience to our forum participants by blocking postings from overseas, it had the unintended consequence of preventing genuine users from posting when overseas or from their overseas accounts.
"As such, our group of volunteer moderators have agreed to allow some level of 'noise' in order to maintain the openness of the forum."
