Darksidedog is yet another useless biased mod on TVF
November 16, 2018

Just another keyboard warrior applying moderation "rules" to feed his bias while leaving those he agrees with to break the "rules"

The site is becoming a total joke

Scott the moderator idiot and his boyfriend jingthing?
October 15, 2018

Got banned for standing up for Trump all I did was point out that Trump won and got his judge nominated to the Supreme Court! Wow the library's went mad lots of trolling then I got trolled and I got banned by Scott for trolling a gay guy called king thing I had never geared of.

If they can't stand the fact not everyone is a libtard then they should not be moderating an internet discussion site.

Been banned off here after 11 yrs by scott and his girlfriend jingthing for basically disagreeing with a post by a person with trump derangement syndrome.
The guy said trump was an idiot and obviously suffering from a mental illness.
I replied perhaps if the 60 million+ who voted for him read your post they might think you were were theidiot and suffering from a mental illness ie trd.
Instant ban for life

Thaivisa World News forum is bias in their moderation of comments.
Scott the moderator is actually setting the rules for the forum, while this is normal in the sense that he represents Thaivisa, But the scam comes to play when he posts as a regular member (Jingthing).

Jingthing to date has over 85,000 posts and is active since 2006. Many of his posts represent insults, trolling, nasty, flaming, derogatory comments to issues it opposes(strong left liberal views). While posting similar opposing views, Jingthing complains and the opposing comment is deleted with a warning of suspension or total banning, while his comments remain.

It's against the rules to question the mods on the forum. Beware Scott the Mod is Jingthing the poster.
I want to expose this as a scam and show possible sponsors how bias thaivisa is.

ThaiVisa is a shadow of it's former self.
May 18, 2017

James L. Is obviously part of the ThaiVisa team, almost certainly one of the moderators.
His comment "The forums on this website are second to non for advice. There are so many knowledgeable people posting it is an extraordinary community" may have been the case 10 years ago but certainly not the case today.
It has been destroyed by over-zealous mods, greedy upper management, and the many trolls who are either welcomed by the mods because they create so many clicks, or are actually mods posing as trolls under various names.
The only good posters they had have either left willingly or been banned because they did not kowtow to the Nazis who rule with and iron fist.
It's a shame such a good forum could end up so badly run.
Nice try James L. Now get back to work banning and suspending members.

Based on things I have been hearing, Thaivisa may not be around that much longer -- especially given online sites like this promoting it being banned... http://thai-visa.pissedconsumer.com/

The site seems filled with racists and nazi type moderation. Asking a question here often results in being abused.

January 19, 2014

Excellent advice about Thaiand available, but it is a commercial operation, not at all free-speech, e.g. no criticising sponsors, no discussion of moderation policy.

Have to be pretty thick-skinned, and don't mind the grumpy old whacko sexpats that dominate the forums.
