Why do posts related to Thai visa questions have their commenting turned off too quickly?

I freely admit to turning off posts as quickly as I can once the O/P has the information they require.

I can't see any reason to keep them open. Once the correct information is provided there's no need for poster after poster to reiterate it over and over OR a poster to provide incorrect information requiring someone correct them. I can't see the sense in it.

This ISN'T a "let's chew the fat" about this or that group. There are plenty of them on f/b related to thailand, go post on them. This is a group about one thing visas/extensions to thailand.

I don't feel bad in the least closing threads because I feel the people in the group do an excellent job answering questions about visas & extensions to thailand.

Remember you can ALWAYS message the admin/moderating team if a thread is closed and ask it be reopened so you can provide more information. I can't promise we'll open it back up but you can certainly ask.

Thank you one and all for your participation in the group. It's you posters who make it work as well as it does..

Okay, and as this has totally nothing to do with Thai visa advice and not one example can be given I have to close this. I will explain one more time: This is copied out of the description of this page: The page is named Thai Visa Advise, so please keep your questions Thai Visa related, if your question is not related, your topic may get closed to commenting or deleted, (with a comment why it was closed). YES, we close topics and YES we also delete topics mostly just spam. WHY we have to do this: Every step you make in Thailand is VISA related, you can NOT walk without a Visa Exempt Entry or Visa inside Thailand. If we have to answer every question and I've seen questions like: "Where can I get the best breakfast before I stand in line for a Visa", this would be a travel agent page, we have to draw a line.

Generally speaking, I think it's great how the mods close off advice once the questions have been answered.

Otherwise you get so many general comments, and potentially misinformation. People come to these pages for expert advice, once one of the experts have answered it's better if their comments don't get lost in a mountain of opinions etc.

Likewise, off topic posts distract from the purpose of the group. They could be asked anywhere, and the knowledgeable visa members get their newsfeeds clogged up with comments about hotels/minivans etc, they might not bother to check the group comments to help with visa advice as much.

I see posts closed when one of the following is true,

1. The post is not Thai visa related. Often the mods/admins will still give an answer before closing the thread.

2. The OP's question has been answered and people ramble on about the topic resulting in no further useful information.

3. The question has been asked ad nauseam and a simple search of the forum could have found the answer faster than posting the question.

4. Something where a Google search could have been used to find the answer faster. Often in this case the mods/admins will answer the question anyway and then close the thread (for good reason).

Okay, so lets make this clear, post gets closed premature. So please show us all the post of today which has been closed premature, without a comment why it get closed. You can go with your computer mouse to the time the post is made, open it in new tab to get the direct link of this post.

Don't they just

I'll second your post. Now, no dissrespect to the admins/mods but I do feel they shut down posts/comments too quickly.

maybe not thai visa related -
