I 100% realize that comments are being closed early on posts to keep this place from turning into the complete shit stain that is nearly every other Thai expat group but.... I can't help that feel that mods are closing things a bit early. I've read several posts now that I would like to add relevant experience to, but comments are closed several hours earlier while the initial question/topic hasn't been fully discussed imo. Any suggestions for middle-ground here?

Why are you guys so quick to close comments on a post when the next person could offer valuable information ? Today a post appeared on my feed about staying longer than 180 days on exemptions and tourist visas.

Bob posted the final word and closed comments. The final word being "I dare someone to show me a law that says you can't stay longer than 180 days on exemptions or visas". He knows damn well the laws mean shit when it comes to people coming and going that are apparently living in Thailand, they can and will cut your exemption status off and theres no law saying they can do that. Closing comments just makes no sense unless a post blows up with a big pissing match.

Is there a reason why comments are being closed so fast? I would have liked to comment on several posts but somehow the admin closes them asap. Is he afraid people will start fighting one another once the posts reaches 20 comments or has been open for more than 2 hours? 😡

Hey Mr. Rivieccio - we used to ask your location when given advice.. Apparently - now just close the post for comments. I guess we are no longer interested in helping people with their questions.. We expect people to read every post ever asked and then ask questions. Sorry for the confusion.. I have gone ahead an sent you a PM
