What are the experiences of expats in Thai visa forums regarding moderators like Tod?
After another snotty reply from that total plank tod I am out of the other group. Had enough of the moderator who don't even show his face on his profile and loves to rule the roost.
Summary so far
The conversation revolves around frustrations with the moderator 'Tod' in a Thai visa forum. Users express mixed feelings about his style, describing him as both knowledgeable but also snarky and dismissive towards members' inquiries related to visas. Some participants mention a preference for other moderators such as Robert Lagas, highlighting differences in moderation styles. There are calls for more open discussion and frustration over unanswered questions in the group. Overall, the discussion reflects a desire for better communication and support in visa-related topics among expats.

Made a comment, they didnt like, they said the final word then turned off future commentating, so bloody hilarous that their highlight of their career is being a visa forum facebook mod lol. Long live this forum!

I agree.

knows his onions and is endlessly patient, a gentleman even. Garrett Greenwald less so and was quite assy and off the first time I came here, but I put it down to him having a bad day and let it slide. As for Todd whatshisface, yes he knows his stuff, but I agree he’s a professional cockwomble, and I’ve told him so. Like most posters here, I come for good visa advice, not to receive hissy fits and moody responses. I can get that at home from my wife and don‘t even need to leave the house.

Who is the moderator of this group? I would like to post a video I made and need permission. Sent a direct message to the other group but haven't received an answer yet. Feel it's only polite to ask permission first.
Steven ***************
Send it to Garrett Greenwald.

Tod is the embodiment of “old guy get off my lawn” lol but he has good info usually. I’d imagine he is tired of answering the same questions repeatedly. My issue with that group was the admin that shut down comments immediately. Sometimes people have stuff to add that is actually relevant but they just shut it down as soon as they can.
Thomas ********************
I really don't have the time or the inclination to go look up examples. On countless occasions I have asked something or sat on relevant helpful info. Only to see... Thread closed. I have no more to add to that. So, I'm shutting down further questions :)

well thai visa advise is not designed to discuss topics forever. Most visa related question can be answered very simple and hence no need to keep open for long, otherwise the topic get's hijacked or whatever. People are free to open a new topic.
Thomas ********************
That is what frustrated me no end. Many interesting threads with unanswered questions.
Maxim ***********
Admin is Robert Lagas. The difference is that Tod has good info, Robert is clueless.

Agree with Ian. Tod is a plonker, I left that group also because I got sick of his snide and belittling replies to members questions relating to visas. Never had any issues with Robert though.
Adam *********
Is there a question then?
Maxim ***********
Tod is actually one of the few good mod on the big group. Most of us are here because of Robert Lagas.
Steven ***************
Before you get carried away.. hes also a member of this group.

@Steven **************
"He's also a member" And...??Steven ***************
