1st, the forum only allows 1 month time frame of editing ONE single post. Everytime the list is updated,i need to either quote the whole post (which by the way, is also against forum rules) or create a new post with the entire list,which is again against the forum rules becos i am not suppose to repeatedly post a single (or more) mongering place with its contact info and details more than once. (yes,i remember someone suggest posting a link but i am talking about updating something new in the same list,so links cant work)

I think you are making it more complex than it actually is.

1) In each report, we usually mention the name of a booking joint, or a restaurant, of a disco, of a pub. That's not advertising. It's reporting facts.
I am suggesting to make a list of NAMES, each with the area where they are located. No need to post contact data or more. The name is enough.
No way it could be considered advertising.
The same could be done for hotels or restaurants, but personally I think it is more useful to have the up-to-date list of booking joints (they change every few months).

2) I don't see how someone could complain if you post once a month a report entitled "List of Booking Joints (updated dd/mm/yyyy)". On the contrary, this is the reason why one would like to browse this forum: to find information (besides chitchatting).
I strongly suggest you to do that. I would do that, if I would visit Batam every month, and if I would make a whole tour of all joints (which I don't, as you know).

The format I suggest is the following, extremely simple:

"List of Booking Joints (updated dd/mm/yyyy)"
Miss Candy, behind Utama Hotel, optional comments.
Permata Manis, in front of Formosa Hotel, optional comments.
.........

No need to post phone numbers, photos, price range (which vary often and even vary depending on who is asking). Optional comments should be no more than few words.
Post that once a month, or every few months when you think an update is needed, or edit the last current version if you want to make a minor change few days after posting.
Link that in your signature.
That's it!

Do that, and you really earn the eternal gratitude of everyone here.

Try using pastebin and post the link here instead?
You have full control of the edits anytime.

Here's an example pastebin link.

Anyways, interesting thread. Considering to plan a trip on the next PH.

Lol.. try taking a look at the Balai thread. Just posting girls photo only with no joint or contact number listed also get warning.

What you suggested used to be the directory of Geylang, which lorong, which joint and the house girls there. That's how sammyboy started in the 1990s. Even before they moved to Delphi Forums and the current server now.

I would suggest doing an off-site list and link it in the sigfile and the author will have control of the content. But, it may be branded as an advertisement for the off-site list owner though.

Like nono said, Damm if I do, Damm if I don't.

Nono / Black Page ...mod is fine with this list below...

https://sammyboy.today/showpost.php?p=17...postcount=4864

what we need here is forum and field reports and less tcss...

the only problem mod thinks is why did you need to publish a list of joints here and you dun make anything...somehow you are helping these joints...do you think the newbies will appreciate what you had done...

Its a Chinese movie tho,i would say its a non-stop action movie with a storyline on the educational system,hehehe...people are rating it a 9/10 online,i would say its worth a 7.5/10 tho.

Finally...hehehe...Predator is in Batam.

I often like to ask myself,if i am a newbie...what would i have done if i wish to visit Batam. Not forgetting, i started Batam when i was COMPLETELY new about 4 years ago.

My answer/s ,more than one.

1. A good and convenient place (hotel) to stay in.

2. To get to find a girl (or 2) to keep me company.

3. To find a place good eatery, enough to fill myself up.

4. The good ,the better and the best of all places from eating ,to finding girls to places where i can have a good time,round the clock.

If i am just boiling down to just "me,myself and i" which i am doing right now...then i already have what i am looking for on my signature,hehehe...which i found the same in bro Fireshark's signature. And these 4 points stated were all on my signature.

Exactly and am not sure why others find it so difficult and suggest this and that...still a few unsatisfied to what you had done for batam thread which already commenable...anyway few of them are pesky characters here and no loss to the community if they dun read here...

mod will ensure nobody do any business here without paying SBF...
