ORIGINAL POSTER
I deleted a post about someone using an in-country agent to get a visa extension.

First, we don't allow in country agents to be recommended (or slagged off).

Secondly, the person who posted it had me blocked.

If I see a member who's blocked an admin I delete them. Sorry

TLDR : Answer Summary
The admin deleted a post that recommended an in-country agent for obtaining a visa extension due to site policies prohibiting such recommendations. Additionally, the post's author had blocked the admin, which led to the decision to remove the content. The admin received supportive comments from community members appreciating the moderation.

Toni, the other part of that slippery slope is, once you use an agent to secure your visa/extension the next year the immigration officer sees that you used one before and you are shanghai'd into using an agent again.
