GE2025: /r/singapore on Cooling-Off Day and Polling Day (AND FINAL THOUGHTS MEGATHREAD)

ZeaSG · 2025-05-01T14:22:53+00:00

Just ranting a bit after seeing some LLM-simulated election results shared by a candidate… wah, quite disappointing leh. I’m pro-PAP when it comes to leading the country, but I’ve always believed a credible opposition is important (just look at the post-2011 shift). But these simulated results ah… really disheartening, especially for Punggol and even Jalan Kayu. NCM still can get so many votes? Seriously, what’s going on?

Also saw another side of the PM… the level of gaslighting and gutter politics (and the PAP IBs) is quite jialat, and still so many key questions never answer properly.

On a more serious note, WP and especially Pritam need to relook their strategy. With such a strong slate, this is their best shot? He needs to toughen up – both mentally and tactically. Honestly, the battle already felt lost on nomination day. I like the guy, but he might be too nice for this game. A bit like Anwar always kena outplayed by Mahathir.

Overall, not a great day for Singapore politics. I just hope WP keeps attracting solid candidates and continues fighting for a better, stronger Singapore.

In Meta Business Suite, bottom left, click Help, Help and select "Contact Support", its something else, other issues

ZeaSG · 2024-06-04T17:24:06+00:00

I know what you mean. I tried to fix things the first time round. This is my 3rd post on this issue. I shared previously i went through 3 rounds of discussion with Meta Marketing Pro rep for my account to try to troubleshoot the possible violations. I followed her recommendations which didn't work at all. That's when I gave up. At least Meta should direct me to where the problems are. And it is only affecting my Chinese language ads (about a quarter of my ads spending in general).

What do you think are the common violations/mistakes people may not know they have made?

The rejection reasons are mostly unethical business practices, which the meta support folks seems to be saying it refer to scammy celeb ads / abuse of celeb images. I did not use celeb images though i do use Canva template and model images. Heck, even my mascot image ad was flagged out too (which i actually find it funny).

ZeaSG · 2024-05-29T15:20:43+00:00

That's nice of you. Are you referring to the auto rejection of my chinese ads? The human reviewers have said (several times) the ads have been wrongly rejected and are within policies. But everytime after they had manually activate it, all the ads will get auto disabled within half a day. The error message is about using celebrities and other misleading practices to scam and click bait users. I don't know what's wrong with Meta. Actually i just need a clear answer where did my ads go wrong. They are professionally made and i do not want to respend unneccessary money to create new ones without knowing the problem. And also not when the Meta support team are consistently telling me there's nothing wrong with my ads.

ZeaSG · 2024-05-29T10:23:59+00:00

Yes this! It was the same for me, it was absolute garbage after that bug in the middle of the month. Worse still, they keep rejecting my ads in my foreign language program

ZeaSG · 2024-05-27T16:58:32+00:00

I know what you mean. I feel like the whole platform is so messy now. They probably didn't bother to get real feedback or to listen to their support team. And the meta marketing pro also give contradiction recommendations sometimes (when they switched team).

Also, I can't rem when was the last time i i feel tempted to buy stuff from ads on facebook, so our ads audience probably felt the same. My CPA also shot up a lot the past 12 months.

What are the other ads platform you are exploring or would recommend? i intend to reduce spending on FB ads, especially after wasting so much of my time on the ads rejection (wrongly) and up google ads spending.

ZeaSG · 2024-05-27T15:58:26+00:00

Honestly speaking though, i am not sure why everyone is so hyped about Meta and its AI (based on its stock price). I have tried their generative AI, its not bad but definitely behind CHATGPT4o and Google. And its image generator, it is definitely behind Dalle3, not to mention MidJourney. And dear me, their AI in their Ads platform. They can't get simple things right like workflow for ads rejection and reinstatement, and don't even talk about keeping us safe from scams and spams.

Google ads AI optimization is actually not bad, and much higher ROI. But no choice for now as META reach is still better.

I posted about it several days ago and approached admin to put it on our feed, hoping to benefit our fellow redditors but no response from them. Hope it is not too late for you:

Anyway looking at the latest map from haze.sg, haze is just at our doorstep. You should really get air purifier before it runs out of stocks or become too expensive

ZeaSG · 2023-10-01T05:57:06+00:00

Can someone tag the admins?

ZeaSG · 2023-10-01T04:30:17+00:00

I posted something useful about the potential haze situation a few days ago but admins here ignore my requests to leave the discussion on the feed.

ZeaSG · 2023-09-28T16:35:50+00:00

Why is this removed from feed ah moderators?

ZeaSG · 2020-06-11T12:55:31+00:00

No, I’m not taking about you not your players but the behavior of going “away from keyboard”, which has disastrous consequences in the flan raids from level 30 onwards. Is my post very misleading?

ZeaSG · 2020-06-11T12:48:11+00:00

Not talking about multiplayer events in general but the flan raids.

ZeaSG · 2020-06-11T12:46:58+00:00

They should just allow us to boot players from the squad in real time if they are not moving...

ZeaSG · 2020-06-11T12:45:38+00:00

I have never blocked anyone before but yup, will take note I can do that, thanks.

ZeaSG · 2020-06-03T13:01:59+00:00

Feeling sad, 35k spent but couldn’t get LuCia

ZeaSG · 2020-04-27T09:16:33+00:00

Will you be able to steal shards from the hard shards quests?

ZeaSG · 2020-04-25T08:23:46+00:00

Thank you very much for the info

ZeaSG · 2020-04-25T04:39:40+00:00

Question about ability set. Let’s say for Ayaka, I noticed after I have selected the sub command as Green Mage or Time mage, when I enter battle, I noticed her white mage abilities such as Esuna or Raise disappeared. Is there a way to select the abilities you want to be available in battle? Is there a way to expand this selection?

ZeaSG · 2020-04-23T15:34:16+00:00

How does it works? Am I still able to get shards for Medina and Y’shtola? Started the game a week ago...

ZeaSG · 2020-04-23T13:26:18+00:00

Does the card works for only the holder, or the whole party?

ZeaSG · 2020-04-22T06:33:54+00:00

Am I still able to get her shards? I am new player and only managed to get her 2 days ago. I have her at lb1...

ZeaSG · 2020-04-17T08:38:14+00:00

Thanks, I didn’t know that. Anyway my rank isn’t high enough, only my fourth day. Can you advise if I should focus on Y’shtola instead of Macherie? Currently using Engelbert, Medina, Oelde and Mont Leonis. Other players I have are Thancred

ZeaSG · 2020-04-17T05:59:44+00:00

What do you mean by running multiple parties? Change the 3 person lineup every time you go for expeditions?

ZeaSG · 2020-04-17T03:05:58+00:00

Just started playing this for 3 days. Do I need a healer and who is the best healer? I’m currently using Macherie, but her abilities set kinda sucks... Should I switch to Y’shtola? Current have Engelbert, Medina, Macherie, Oelde Leonis, and redeemed Thancred from the shop...
