Dear EDMW members,
As the EDMW forums is a major discussion platform, we would like to remind all forum users that they are obligated to follow the terms and conditions of use of the forum platform.
Most importantly, every user is responsible for comments and posts they’ve created in the forum. Emerging news related to Novel Coronavirus is very important to all of us. But equally important is the need to prevent unverified mistruths from spreading in our community. All of us must avoid posting unverified and speculative remarks, mistruths and misinformation, to prevent unintended consequences arising from inaccurate information. This consideration applies to all other topics as well.
It is also essential to clearly mark the type of your post you intend to start:-
Title Examples:- “[Opinion] Xx Yy Zz”, or “Mr.Potato: Don’t worry, be happy”
Moderators reserve the right to issue infractions and remove posts/threads that might mislead readers and don’t include sources. Depending on the severity of the post, users may be permanently banned too.
============================================================
Further notes: Posting responsibly during the Singapore General Elections Period
============================================================
Upon the issuance of writ of elections, please be advised that all of the following discussion types are disallowed for the duration of the election period and offending threads/posts will be removed: -
1. Polls/surveys of political parties
This means that once it is announced that election is open, you cannot do a straw poll of how the voters in a particular constituency may vote, whether such a poll is done over the telephone or in person. This is because the poll results might influence the voters.
2. Statements, forecasts and estimated of voting that may affect voting results
3. Political advertisements
Thank you for making our forum community a meaningful space for discussion and information sharing.
