On today's episode of unstable expats in Thailand... Apparently we're going to be a very popular group soon because he's going to be posting these screen shots on "every Thailand group" :O.
Answer summary
A controversial incident occurred in an expat group in Thailand where a member was planning to post screenshots of conversations, leading to a series of humorous and contentious comments. These exchanges highlighted group tensions, maturity levels among members, and concerns about the group's focus on immigration help versus social banter. Participants expressed their views on the ongoing drama, with some commenting on the need for a more serious discussion about visas and immigration.

Ahhhhh Expat drama. Best part of Thailand 🙄 Anyone know of other knowledgeable visa groups we can move to? This one used to be great but it’s basically just turned into “the other group” over time.

Naaah, this group is nothing like "the other group." No one (other than spam and advertising) has been kicked in months, 0 posts have had their comments turned off, and me and Stuart hardly tell anyone what to say (or not to say) in here.

mostly meant the quality of posters we have been seeing in the last year or so. Obviously this guy sending you messages is a complete fucking twat waffle. Just seems like a large uptick in that kind of behavior as opposed to when this group first started (and I don’t have much of a tolerance as you may have guessed). Mods have been great in comparison though, definitely not knocking you guys. Lol that comment locking shit was insane.

I just wish (again) we had a good group with the knowledge and resources to help people with odd or unusual visa situations. These folks who have been in Thailand since at least March and haven’t headed home yet don’t have a lot of my sympathy. I flew back late July and finding flights has only gotten easier since then. Lots of places to hangout in if you don’t want to go home.

You aren't wrong Steve. I do try hard to keep this group professional and as informative as possible. Unfortunately today the immature part of my brain got the best of me and I caved.

Normally i try to let one "banter post" in every 2 weeks. While keeping the group on topic and relevant, it helps build our expat community.
