What are the issues with closing comments on the O-A visa insurance topic in the expat community?

Question

Robert you closed commenting on a post when we are waiting for Tod to translate the writing on a visa stamp. This O-A visa/ insurance topic is very relevant to many of us returning soon. We need to see, try to understand others real time experiences.
Respectfully, please don’t be so quick to close commenting. 
you can delete non relevant posts.

The discussion revolves around concerns within the expat community regarding the closure of comments on posts related to the O-A visa and health insurance. Several users expressed frustration, stating that closing comments limits the sharing of real-time experiences and vital information. They highlighted the need for open discussions, especially pertaining to varying insurance requirements and the interpretation of visa regulations, which often lead to recurring questions that could be clarified through community interaction.

okay, we close posts on this group once someone gets the correct answer to their question to stop well meaning (yet mostly clueless people) from giving BAD information. We also close posts for people who ask questions that no one can answer, like; "will I get in to thailand without an problems?", OR will I get a visa from xxx consulate?" Those are subjective questions and have no real answer.

We also close questions about this O-A insurance conundrum, because there is no set pattern or protocol that immigration officers are following when asking for proof of insurance for O-A visa holders.

Because the same questions are asked over and over again and no one reviews the specific pinned topics or previous posts on the same subject. ;) and then there are 50 comments with one guy saying he didn't need insurance and another guy saying he did. No wonder the comments get closed pretty quick ;)

"And before it all start again as we already see. Tod Daniels can you shine a light on the Thai text and until that time I close the comments. There has been discussion enough about health insurance policies and the fact that this insurance is only a requirement on the Non Immigrant O-A or O-X visa."

I know.   I posted my experience at the Suvarnabhumi and it was immediately closed before I could answer any potential questions.  I'm glad to answer any
