The people who post those pictures must be made to bear the full responsibility for them if it turns out they taken out of context... as in the bag case somebody pointed out.Originally posted by hiphop2009:proper checks and balance? i really dont noe how. maybe u could list some examples so dat i would have a better idea?
Fair or not...let the readers decide. People have the right to draw conclusions based on what they see and they do draw different conclusions.Originally posted by fudgester:A hypothetical scenario:
If I put my large backpack on a bus seat next to me for a few seconds to take out something, any moron with a camera phone can simply snap a pic, post it on STOMP, and claim that I'm being inconsiderate. Then I get flamed till the cows come home.
Never mind if I put my bag on the floor soon thereafter and the bus is nearly empty anyway.
So if I'm in such a scenario, OM, would you still consider it as fair game?
If you were in such a scenario, OM, would you still be able to smile and laugh about it?
Just give me an honest and truthful answer.
Unless your are LKY.Originally posted by kewty:lets say if i am unlucky enough to get candid snapped by some stompers and my pic appears in stomp website, is it possible to email to the stomp administrators to request them to take down that post or picture?

Yes, you can email them but about taking down the post or picture will be up to them.Originally posted by kewty:lets say if i am unlucky enough to get candid snapped by some stompers and my pic appears in stomp website, is it possible to email to the stomp administrators to request them to take down that post or picture?
It's to dilute real citizen journalism because now it has lowered the ante and may have an effect of showing that net journalism is not to be taken seriously and it's not as credible or substance-packed as the mainstream offline media.Originally posted by Ferret:Frankly I think Singapore Seen is part of their efforts to promote "citizen journalism", which has to a point, make people more aware of themselves and their public behaviour. (case in point : Worrying abt NOT giving up seats to the eldery)
To a certain extent, I do not agree with their blantant posting of uncensored pictures, especially with regards to pictures with dubious headers.
My personal opinion of this : 1. Practise censorship. 2. Practise public etiquette.![]()

Yes I agree. And yet in a way, it does bring citizen journalism to the masses.Originally posted by LazerLordz:It's to dilute real citizen journalism because now it has lowered the ante and may have an effect of showing that net journalism is not to be taken seriously and it's not as credible or substance-packed as the mainstream offline media.
Insidious I would say. The more time people spend on STOMP and getting caught up in mob behaviour, the less time they have to spend discussing vital and important issues. It certainly has the potential of taking the wind out of the sails of serious citizen journalism/blogging.
