Usually for a new user of the forum to ask for meeting up,needing guide etc,i will still give them some benefit of doubt and direct them to my signature for guidance so i wont have to repeat myself all over again.
As for those who wish to party together or ask for contact information ,and after i have been under suspicion of being an advertiser when i indiscreetly shared crucial information with others openly in this thread(my bad),i learned one important fact. Information requires HARDWORK,lots of it and also cost money.
If anyone wishes to get information which i know from me,they need to do either one of the 3 things :
1. READ thru all postings,bookmarks written by me...or...
2. Follow some of the senior's recommendation before nono1973 appears in this thread and READ from this link below onward :
http://sbf-sg.social/showthread.php?t=66580
....or....
3. Pay this forum to make me an advertiser.
Fair? But still,i will share information i learned,except this time i need to be more discreet about it to avoid breaching the forum's advertising rules. If one is unwilling to search for the info they need even after i have already make it easy for them by putting it on a platter,then the next better way is to pay for it.

Even Seniors, ESPECIALLY if they are genuine good guys who wants to help OR in many cases, to monger with like minded guys, falls prey to these con-men acting all naive and trusting.

1. Some newbies (not all) are like babies...when babies see something RED,they tht it looks nice,took it and put them into their mouth and then realise it is actually a piece of hot chili they just put in their mouth. After getting their mouth burned from the hot chili,they will know that all nice looking RED/things are not all good. Most babies need to hurt themselves to grow up.
2. This falls back to my rule of 7 sins. Which of the 7 sins the vietnam guy in Sim Lim Sq commit that makes him having to kneel for a refund? Everyone's a sinner,and not everyone can control their 7 sins all the time.

Worse still,the moment you participate in it,you are likely to be falling into a "fight",you didnt want to. And the thread/post gets fuel up by one the worst 7 sins, PRIDE. Constant reminder to myself,adding fuel to fire only makes the fire bigger and more uncontrollable.
What i would do is,i will take your number 1 to 5,bookmark them,then start my regular posting as a basic member of SBF and if anyone has been hit by the so call hidden agenda,then you can just smile,becos they have been warned...by your no.1 to no.5.
Like in this Batam Info thread,before i was here,many put the blame on newbies that they spoil the Batam market thru over-paying due to lack of understanding/knowledge,over-tipping etc...but when newbie ask for the market price (which is one of the most FAQ)or some other basic questions,they were told to read the 1700 pages of the thread.Otherwise they are branded as being lazy. So,being a newbie myself,i wrote a newbie guide as i walk thru Batam with the help of some senior's guidance together with my reading of the 1700 pages (multiply by 4 times reading),with all pricing lay out and listed out nearly all cheonging joints uncompleted with Map,hehehe...today in this thread,you rarely see newbie asking the FAQ before i was here. And i find that it is another effective way in controlling the Batam market price too. Prices will always go up everywhere in the world,but i did my part as a newbie to at least try to slow it down. And this is definitely not one mans effort...hence credit/s goes to everyone whom i have source information from.
I am just an information collector,therefore your no.1 to 5 is very important to me,hehehe...
