A few updates for Korat immigration from my visit today. TM30 is required for applications. If you stay at a hotel in Korat for your TM30 you must show booking AND the booking must be 7 days or more. Leaving Thailand and returning to same address requires a new TM30 within 3 days of arrival in Korat. The TM30 fine is 800 baht for late submissions.
Answer summary
Recent updates from Korat Immigration indicate that the TM30 form is mandatory for applications. When staying at a hotel in Korat, the booking must be for 7 days or more, and you must provide proof of this booking. If you leave Thailand and return to the same address, a new TM30 must be submitted within 3 days of your arrival back in Korat. Late submissions of the TM30 incur a fine of 800 baht.

i don't know. Just a local rule. I questioned them about it because the hotel didn't submit my TM30 online. They said it didn't matter because they wanted the hotel booking and receipt showing 7 days. I ended up getting my gf to register my TM30 at her house with Immigration. It was easier.

Once you've gone through the 3 step process to report online the first time subsequent reports are very easy doing just step 3

The whole process at Korat was so different. Weird in fact. 30 minutes sitting in front of the IO just to get a 30 day extension FFS. I think she was getting approval from the moon.
