How has the community responded to changes in the advice and support provided by moderators?
Wow, the tinfoil hat brigade is out in force tonight. Along with the "I demand that the completely free advice I have been enjoying for years continues just as it always has, even though I have never contributed one damn cent to anything" crowd...
Personally, as long as Tod Daniels, James Miller, Ellie Takei, Benjamin Hays, and Robert Lagas (I'm sure I've forgotten somebody, sorry!) are still around, I'm 100% good. You guys are all total rockstars, and I for one really appreciate the time and care you put in to this site every day 😁

On another group I had the Honour of helping Tod out. I wonder if he did get the Silver Sebrights ??

Indeed 🙏🏼

All the mods are a wealth of info and altho many accolades go to Tod the rest of you are highly appreciated for your quick, concise, complete answers and direction. It really goes without saying, but it must be said. I for one can't believe your meticulous dedication and copy and paste abilities.

actually I was thinking more of Benjamin and his point by point answers, whereas Tod seems to write on the fly.James ********
@Wannikea ********
Ben is very good at point by point advice...

I can’t say it enough but I wouldn’t have had the courage or knowledge without your help and Tod’s in leading up to retiring in Thailand in doing all the paperwork on my own It’s a time in one’s life that not only are you ending your life’s work but also settling in a foreign country . But year by year the extension process becomes less of a hassle. Thanks once againJames ********

Youre the one who stepped up to help me. Respect.James ********
@Lorenzo **********
thank you most kindly 😇

Well put 👏

Totally agree. If Tod & Co are cool with it then we should be as well. Also, having an agency in the background ready to help when people can’t do it themselves could be the final, missing piece of the puzzle here. Good luck to them all 👍
Robert *******
Thanks for this post, I agree 100%. All of the page moderators have done a great job. Ease up and let's see where this goes and hope it improves, everything can.

@Denise *********

Sean *************
Absolutely… thanks for the past, forward for the future, deal with it!
…for all the people mortified with the change, go open your own group. But, I won’t be joining it.

they are all invaluable and guide us through an immigration black hole.
WEE****
They will continue to provide the same quality advice, and enforce the same rules.
Very little has actually changed, and time will show it.
