Initially SGForums had its zenith.
Then Stomp, Hardwarezone, competed with it.
Now there is a problem, there is a fractured structure, too many
sub-forums.
With regards to Speakers Corner, the biggest problem lately is
the existence of extremists and radicals.
These extremists and radicals completely turned Speakers Corners
from a relatively intelligent, interesting, informative, mature,
forum, into some kind of "Twilight Zone" where it is getting very
bizarre.
There is one particular extremist who like to repeat the phrase
"dog". Dog this, dog that.
Another radical likes to link disparate and unassociated events
with PAP. Eveything this PAP, that PAP. It is getting really
tiring.
These kinds of bizarre behaviour severely drag down the quality
and athmosphere of Speakers Corner. Nobody can have a serious and
intelligent discusion here anymore.
I think the serious people who are interested in politics do not
visit Speakers Corner anymore. Mostly the ones who visit this
subforum are Chit-Chat people or other general forum users.
In the past, even real politicians have visited this forum and
made posts, with their real name. There was one particular
politican who did so. A young opposition politican.
I cannot imagine such cases happening now. Nobody serious would
want to touch this forum.
So this is the case.
What I can see is that the moderators should be more strict and
think of something to make this place alive again. Be strict and be
more active. Speakers Corner should be positioned properly.
