Tomorrow.sg’s Editorial Integrity
Starryluvly said in “Does Tomorrow have a Tomorrow?”:
Really, the editors at Tomorrow are not doing any favours for themselves. If I submitted a site calling XX a bitch and a whore, fine don’t publish it. Obviously it wasn’t that, otherwise the two editors wouldn’t have published it in the first place. I doubt the two editors would have published it without reading the article I posted – if they didn’t that why the hell are they editors in the first place?
I totally agree. If you purport to be an unbiased disseminator of interesting articles in and around the Singaporean blogosphere, then this action of pulling down a published article is very unseemly. It reeks of bias and a complete lack of objectivity.
Tomorrow.sg, please explain yourselves.
UPDATE 2:19PM
James Seng said, “because i revoke my vote and that no other editors choose to click publish?” I guess that explains it then. It’s still a mockery of the process, that you editors had set in place yourselves.

I think tomorrow.sg is going downhill…
Maybe cos XX is on board??
ghost: most probably man. And what’s the bet that it was her who deleted the published entry, and in the process effectively vetoed Agagooga and James Seng’s editorial privileges?
Hmmm.
If anything, Agagooga and JS should confront XX about this matter. If every other editor can yank down something that has been approved by the required editors, then there’s no meaning to the portal anymore.
With things like this happening, I won’t be surprised if less people will be interested in contributing to Tomorrow.
starry: exactly. What’s the point when there’s no objectivity and accountability?
Tomorrow’s going to be someone’s personal pet project?
*shake my heads*
Yeah, I said “headS!”
emiryo: I think it’s already a pet project of sorts with the attitudes that the editors take.
“Heads?” Wahahahhaha. You flithy pig.
A reader just emailed me and said that she added my post as a trackback to the “Does tomorrow have a tomorrow?” post and it was up for a while before being removed again.
xlx: I followed the comments on the Tomorrow post and saw this too. The obvious culprit can only be one person.
Hey mooiness, I was just speaking to Agagooga and he confirms that James pulled his vote for his own reasons and not because of any pressure or whatever.
And by the way, it’s definitely XX who’s deleting trackbacks. Lots of times she’s the only editor online, so she’s the only one with admin powers to delete trackbacks.
merenwen: yup as confirmed by the commenters at Tomorrow.
crows below the sky are all black wan lol
wingz: meaning that they are all alike lah. Issit???? I don’t get it.
