50,000 IPs, what is this?
My concern with IPs stemmed from my experience in redbeanforum.com. When the brigades were attacking my site, dunno who they are or where they are from, every morning my site will be hit by a few hundred spam postings of all kinds of stuff, from porno sites to fictitious retail sites. And it was quite a task trying to delete them. Eventually I gave up and locked the site from comments. It is now a read only forum : )
The IPs can become more mischievous if the new MDA regulations come into force. Any site can be hit by a few hundred or thousand spams daily and getting 50,000 IPs showing in the counter is a piece of cake. Can these sites then tell MDA, sorry, the IPs are spammers. And would MDA accept that reasoning? What do you think?
Would someone say, put in firewalls or blocks, or allow a special counter to be inserted into the blog or site for counting minus spams? And you can have cheeky buggers creating little programmes to ramp up the IP hits of any site they want to hit and sorry folks, your 50,000 IPs are up. Please apply for a licence, and put up a bond. No worry, a banker’s guarantee will do. How much is a banker’s guarantee? Freely issued by the bankers?
Would MDA provide free software to make the counter numbers genuine and not flooded by spammers? Would a blog or site allow MDA to insert programmes into it? Or in case of blogs, would Google allow such interference to their system?
Can someone reminds me how much we're paying for their talent?
ReplyDeleteDoes bureaucracy understand the Internet? Never mind..shoot first...then check whether we shot the duck or the dog...hehe what a bunch of dumb ass...
ReplyDeleteWhy are my tax dollars being spent on this type of internet project?
ReplyDeleteHow does it benefit me, the Singaporean?
How does it benefit the PAP?
Hi rb,
ReplyDeleteAiyoh, don't expect such clarity from them lah. Especially, if you think they are stupid or completely conflicted and compromised.
Just remind yourself that they know what they are doing and are intent on this. And assume the worst, prepare foralternatives.
This is another one of their "drift net" regulations, designed to cover widely and indiscriminately, including the WWW. As and when they pull in the net, they will just pick on what they want. Never mind if others are caught and guilty with the toss of the net.
They don't seem to appreciate or mind where such actions are headed and dire consequences. Today, it is "report what I deemed suitable". Tomorrow, "do what I know it's right". Down the road, it's "I am god, I decide".
Maybe, we are already down that road and this is just to humour us.

this will hAVE A FANTASTIC IMPACT. DARKNESS WAS SUPPOSED TOOME OUT WITH A WEEKLY COOKING SERIES TO HELP US ALL IN sINGAPORE TRANSITION TO HAWKER LIFE. THAT HAS BEEN PULLED OUT.
ReplyDeleteTODAY WE ALL FOUND OUT. ALL OUR WORK FOR WRITING GAMING CODE HAS BEEN CANCELLED AND INSTRUCTIONS TO TRANSFER EVERYTHING TO SWEDEN AND MUNICH GERMANY.

ReplyDeleteThe MDA is arbitrary. Thus everything which comes out of their arse is arbitrary -- like 50,000. Can be any number lah. They can also say, OK any site reporting Singapore news which gets more than 5 hits needs license. Habis, all mati.
ReplyDeleteCheck out Alexa's analysis of SammyBoy. Please lah, you gonna tell me SammyBoy and his thousands of members -- all outspoken -- are going to march to the MDA drum?

The assholes from the MDA
ReplyDeleteSaid "News sites a tax they must pay!"
And submit to inspection
Because the coming election
Means we'll tell them what they can say

ReplyDeletefrom my experience
sites which contain *anti fukus* material soon attract this kind of attacks
porn , fake advertisment, or just plain moronic monologues like *i find ur site very cool, blah blah...*
i think cia has some software which churns out such craps.
The fukus are everywhere with a big budget and a lot of operators. That is why it is very strange that they are so quiet about the Shane Todd case.
ReplyDeleteThe Syrian war was created and supported by them. If the Russians soften, the Americans and Nato troops would be in there tomorrow.
Oh, incidentally I have received a note to pay licence for posting about the USA from America. I need to put up a bond for $500k also.
I am showing them my middle finger.
the todds aint finished yet
ReplyDeletethey want their con-gress critters to take up their cudgers on this case.
these muricuns really think they own the world , sobs.
but cant blame them, they practically own us now :-(
I HATE TO REMIND PEOPLE ABOUT THIS!
ReplyDeleteHEAVEN WILL PUNISH AND CHILDREN WILL SUFFER TOO!
SO DO THE RIGHT THING.
You see, they talk as if the banker's guarantee is like a $8 heart bypass.
ReplyDeleteThe whole idea is that when the PAP cannot win a battle, they resort to dirty tricks to sabotage. Fact is, they can never win a battle by fair means.
They are just trying to distract us from the aim, foreigners, corruption and others. Maybe the alternative mps can bring this out and have a good debate. We will watch a good show of pap against the people. Hope the alternative parties can make the papaya looks very bad with this law. Every stupid thing the papaya does is an opportunity for the alternative parties.
ReplyDeletePeople must learn to vote for alternative parties so more power to curb the pride of the papaya.
One small step taken by the MIW and soon it will be one big step backwards for Singaporeans.
ReplyDeletePeople now know what is coming because for years the PAP will silently tweak the rules and tighten the noose without the people realising it, until it is too late.
"Would MDA provide free software to make the counter numbers genuine and not flooded by spammers?"
ReplyDeleteRedbean
Why would they? They only set the laws, and if you got problem, it's your problem.
Just as it's your problem when you as a male Sinkie serve NS and lose out your time to females and foreign talents.
So if it is the case with NS, why should other things be different, tio bo?
Not happy is it? Vote PAP out if you can.
my question is
ReplyDeletewhy 50,000 unique IP addresses
why 50,000 SGD performance bond
For a start, 50K seems a nice figure to begin with. But, wait lah. The 50K IPs will go down, while the 50K bond will go up as they tweak the rules. You know the PAP's style. Just like CPF minimum sum and medisave.
ReplyDelete50,000 IPs = 50,000 Invisible Pappies
ReplyDeleteRedbean,
be prepared to pay $50k or start praising the Clown-In-White for full of love and compassion.
In the Gospel of Pinky 5:9 from the holy PAP bible describes Redbean when his site reaches 50,000 unique addresses which make him liable for MDA license
ReplyDeleteAnd He (Redbean) asked him (MDA), "What is thy name?" And he replied, "Call me Pappy: for we are many."
PEOPLE DO HEAVEN WATCH!
