Why this cause?

»

Stomp out STOMP! said:

STOMP could do so much more, namely, encouraging a culture of critical thinking through better journalism, which might result in Singaporeans being better able to engage with the social issues of today. However, it has not and will not until we do something about it.

Join the cause today as we work together to stomp out STOMP, or at the very least, facilitate its reformation into a media website that we can all be proud of.

Recommended by Anonymous Coward: "STOMP has gone from bad to worse in recent years, and it's great that citizens are finally doing something about it. Be sure to help send an e-mail to the people at STOMP too!"

I say let it stay the way it is. Give the fools a place to congregate and perhaps they won't make a nuisance of themselves somewhere else.

Trackback from Sex sells, so does Politics: Interesting Singaporen Causes on Facebook:

It infantilises Singaporeans, discouraging them from thinking critically about social issues by encouraging vouyeuristic journalism. STOMP should be shut down for good as it is a detriment toward the establishment of a Renaissance City....

stomp is a joke. i've only been there a couple of times tops.

you must understand how immature the singaporean web surfing public is. if everyone was like us, they knew that stomp is a down low piece of website, nobody would have went there, stomp wouldn't be what it is today.

so i'm sorry to be the bearer of the bad news to you, but the singaporean cyberwebbers feed on these kinda things and this is what singapreans are about.

Sad that STOMP has been (further) dignified with this hate campaign. I would dare say that these hate-mongers themselves are more motivated by the need to bash others as opposed to actually having an informed disregard for this insult-to-intelligence.

I do agree with JM above when he says that the platform is a necessary evil to keep the 'herd' occupied. However, my gripe is with the fact that the people who post information and photos (especially) on STOMP are being duped into handing over their intellectual property and giving the tabloids easy pickings of exclusive material instead.
