What were the results of the recent poll about the moderation policies in the Thailand Visa group?

September 25, 2023
a year ago
@everyone We recently conducted a poll in light of a campaign aimed at questioning our current moderator and the established rules of this group. We are pleased to say that the poll results strongly reinforce our moderation team and the existing policies, boosting our confidence in how the group is managed. Our community operates primarily as a QA forum, focusing on fact-based discussion.

The main objective of this group is to facilitate dialogues on DIY visa topics and questions. Recommending lawyers or agencies is not appropriate here, as most of our members are well-informed about these options and are interested in managing their visas independently. This has been a longstanding rule since the group's inception.

If you're looking for a more relaxed environment with a broader range of subjects and greater interaction, you're invited to join our sister group, Thailand Visa Advice - And Everything Else

For those who have agent-related questions, this is not the suitable platform. However, we have a 24/7 support team available through the following Line link: [members only].

While the majority of our community clearly comprehends and respects our guidelines, as demonstrated by the recent poll, we kindly request that the few who may not understand refrain from troubling our dedicated moderation team. They have been doing an excellent job of supporting the community for many years.

Please don't change the current team. You guys have helped me a lot when I needed to understand the Thai government's Covid Visa extensions & DIY my marriage Visa.

You all have been very helpful with advice, curating questions and weeding out the noise that comes with such groups. I just wonder who has been finding fault and bitching about you guys. If they are not happy, they are the ones who should leave.

In a world dictated to by the noisy minority it is good to see that the majority have prevailed. People choose to join the group. They also have the choice to leave if they are not happy. Please make it a QUIET departure.
