I know a guy who was kicked out of this group without warning because he recommended a legal and trustworthy visa service in Thailand to someone with visa issues.
Now I see that in a post someone asks about required health insurance, and quite a few recommendations were made for private insurers.
Double standards?
If you don't like my critic, kick me out as well.

TLDR : Answer Summary
A member criticized the group admin for removing someone who recommended a legitimate visa service while allowing others to suggest health insurance providers. Comments highlighted clear group rules against advertising and emphasized that the community focuses on providing advice without commercial interests.
Can I ask how long a โpendingโ post takes to be approved? I have tried to share a link with this group 5 times now.

The fact that you or the "guy" care so much makes it pretty obvious you were trying to use this group to sell some shit.

I criticized the double standards in this group, nothing else. I'm not dependent on selling any products.

These Friends who try to HELP are doing a perfect informative Job... Unpaid... And don't need crazy people asking many times the same or even ask for commercial help.

Your friend was kicked because no one asked about a visa agent. They asked for advice and your "friend" tried to sell services.
There are only 2 rules in this group and they are very clear. Do not advertise. Don't post advertisements, don't PM members attempting to solicit services, and don't sneak solicitations into the comment section. That's it. This is a community based group where expats can come for advise and not be sold shit with every question they ask. That's it.
By the way, this guy didn't want to sell anything, he is not an employee of the visa agent, nor does he receive any commissions. He wanted to help with his experience. That' s all. And I am aware that it's against the rules to mention a trustworthy and efficient visa agent. I only criticize the double standard, because what I see here is unlimited advertising for insurance companies.
If you would follow the posts in your group you will also find tel no. and addresses given to someone as a tip to get information. Is that within the rules?
Just post the link to the post that is against the rules if you want to show him the double standard. You can also report messages, nobody can read everything.
Great, I'm glad you're aware what the rules are then. If your "friend" is who I think it is, then it wasn't his first time. Just about every post his comment is "use an agent. I know a reliable one."
But advertising for insurers is okay? I know the rules in this group, but it seems there are double standards here. Advertisements for insurance companies okay, a hint who can help with visa issues is not okay.
