Quit ThaiVisa Forum
Thai visa survives solely on the basis of free content it derives from members.
The forum thanks members by using a heavy handed moderation approach that broches complete censorship.
The ultimate thank you many of these *** moderators employ is banning the member from the site.
While i have not been banned it matters not as I won't be using the site and giving free content, thus ad revenue, ever again.
The there are many heavy handed moderators but the ones that seem most active are ruining the site are "Reamer" and "Metisdead". Ubonjoe and Sherly on the otherhand seem to be reasonable and helpful people.
Thai visa is moderated by some brainwashed rednecks
Preferred solution: ban them
It's changed most hate america, trump I agree 100% about hating thailand lots of posts about how bad it is..
If it is so bad they can go home.
Over the top. If you're on here moaning about ThaiVisa, then you've got much deeper life issues that needing sorting out.
Nice to see a TV mod over here. That is the typical response from a liberal.
Start personal attacks that is page one of liberalism 101
Page 1 of Being a *** 101 - anyone who points out the obvious must be a MOD. Hilarious.
TV visa moderators are run by a cabal of American Jews, so no suprise that happened to you, try discussing Israel in anything but a postive light, and the *** jew Jingthing will be reporting you, and calling you a Jew hater and anti-semite.
If you are convinced of what you say, why on earth would you still visit ThaiVisa? Seems to be an undesirable place to spend any of your valuable time, so......
DON'T! It's really that easy.
ThaiVisa is a fluorescent light. Are you a moth?
So which TV moderator are you ? ....nothing these posters have written is untrue, it is run by a cabal of american jews, disagree with the fat zionist bigot Jingthing and his boy friend Scott the mod swoops in and start suspending people
Why are you hiding.. we know because your a mod.
Instead of trying to make people happy and see what you can do you just come on as a hidden user and insult them.
Written just like a keyboard tv mod coboy
I'm not a Mod. Just a regular member who comes over for a laugh, watching you lot squawk and cluck like upset egg laying hens.
When I craft an imaginary post about a TVF Mod, get lots of green thumbs up.
You suckers fall for it every time. When I post about you pathetic moaners, suddenly I'm a "Mod".
Predictable but amusing. And to think some of you are old boys who should be mature and circumspect with emotions under control, rather than acting like puberty stricken adolescents jerking off every 3 hours cause they just can't control their urges and emotions.
Scott is power mad
Just received a one month ban by the Queen of PC madness Scott on Thai Visa for posting that an Israeli soldier wrongly jailed should be given a medal instead. Apparently that was 'inflammatory' Good as I don't want to support that forum any longer as it's an intolerant liberal safe space for touchy gays, feminists and argumentative losers.
Scott is also hysterically anti Trump being a refugee himself and *** of course.
Moderators should be neutral and leave their own views out of it, Scott, Rimmer and Metisdead ruin the forum with constant deletions suspensions and banning to suit their own agendas. Also the amount of Ad make it a horrible viewing experience these days.
- Areas covered
- Health forum
- Moderation
Scott is a fake. His Thai boyfriend started a language school back in the days when farangs didnt need any quaifications.
You mean to tell me that witless {{redacted}} UN-reject Scott is still getting himself off moderbating there at ThaiVisa?? I’m amazed he can keep the keys from sticking...
What a pack of marxist pinhead {{redacted}}, leading the downward trek to the lowest common denominator. ...
where no one with a brain has gone before.... (And I guess that’s not likely to change.)
this review is right on! this clown scott is a left wing anti U.S.
liberal who on his own deletes and bans anyone who he disagrees with.
I have had disagreements with him for some time and he is to cowardly to respond to request for clarifications or rebuttals. he just hides behind his ,key board with the mistaken idea that he some how is important, don't need the forum or reply column, mostly just read it to see all the stupid comments.
He’s obviously a liberal coward hiding behind his keyboard. I got banned last year with their points totting up.
I complained to their customer service and no reply. I can’t beleive the Nation owns them as the moderators are just stupid bigots and ***
if you change an R to an H and add an l after the second m you get something interesting.
What?
So Scott. Whatsamatter?
'Can't delete posts here? 'Can't ban people? 'Must be frustrating for you. What a shame.
Apparently no sympathy here for little Hitlers like you. I'll bet you've actually had "TVF Moderator" business cards made up for yourself. What, a ballcap and t-shirts, too?
Kind o' pathetic, but don't worry. Everybody has to be good at something, and as a loser, you ARE a standout!
By the way, if you get an e-mail from Linda. There is no Linda.
It is what they use to answer all e-mails because they are too chicken-*** to do it themselves. Also, they can claim no responsibility.
For all of you suggesting Scott hang himself due to his sexual proclivities and anti-social behaviour, I'm telling you right now that this type of posting must STOP!
He should instead set himself on fire or jump off a 30 story building.
Clearly, members of a *** forum don't take rejection well. Who knew? hahaha
Even the Mods troll/Click bait commissions
When one thought the content on Thai Visa couldn't get any more bigoted and racist, it appears now in addition to the normal Thai bashing by the old white men that lurk on Thai Visa, Muslims are the new target of the old white men with Thai *** wives on Thai Visa
Even on one of the so-called senior mods called Scott started a troll post/poll purposely designed to stir up bigoted and hate speech against Muslims, from the old white men, given the new direction to get as many click bait posts for the new owners one cant help wonder if the mods are being paid commissions based on the number of click baits clicks they get on the the troll posts they start
- Obvious click bait thread
- Racist bigoted old white men
- Moderators posting under other names to troll
The latest click bait is an alleged poll about Thai Visa members being "deliriously happy"
the most bizarre thing is about that poll is when members started complaining they issued another click bait rebuttal attacking their own members...the owners and moderators of that site are *** and have forgotten a site like this, is as only as good as its membership
How would you know? Let me guess.....you clicked on such an obvious click bait.
Just can't help yourself, eh? LOL.
"Delirious" is most likely the correct word for most of the old men who post on Thai visa in between their medications and cheap Thai alcohol and beating up their Thai wives
I don't think things will change with the new owners taking over, if anything it will get worse.
The recent topic "Mongrel vs Pedigree – Why farangs in Thailand should be thanked for improving the human race" was started by the new owners, a new low in the racist topics posted on that forum. Before they just farmed Thai news reports looking for any violent crimes to attract clicks from Thai bashing farangs.
Now they are creating their own racist topics. The most vile forum I have ever encountered in my life.
Scott's OP is not a baiting post, as your tender sensibilities suggest. It is reflective of the larger conversation taking place in airports all across the world.
With islamic jihadis being revealed in Brussels, Texas, Malaysia, Egypt, ad infinitum, Scott's topic was relevant. Measured by the keen interest, necessary.
"Racist" and "bigoted"... from this one subjective example? Sounds more like someone could not successfully make the worse argument the better.
Scott "obvious[ly]" created a baithing thread?
You have not made a case.
"Moderators posting under other names..." Scott has another name?
In essence, you look like a typical emotive snowflake- tender, fragile, and unable to articulate your point here.
No wonder you were ran over on TV.
I do not know Scott. I am personally irritated at him, but this above BS is untrue.
You are right, mate. In fact, since you've got 21 red down votes, that makes your post the most objective and accurate one in this thread.
These blokes can't handle a cross point of view, which is why they are constant victims, and here on this site venting their spleens as noboby else, not even their wives, will listen to their shi-ite.
If you see one green up vote, that's mine, mate. Good onya.
One more green up vote from me. Now you've got 2. Sad, ain't it?
99% of the bait posts are planted by the mods, using bogus names. If you take notice very few of them are started by long time members, nearly always by newbies with hardly any posts to their names, and nearly every post is the same, targets the Thai bashers.
Most of these posts are started by someone who hardly ever makes another comment after the first one.
The mods think people are as *** as they are.
(noticed they are trolling this site now, attacking people who attack them. what a pathetic joke they are, Scott, Penishead, rimmer and co.)
This is exactly what they are after, posts like this one, posted by resident Thai bashing *** troll "lovelomsak" -
"I was talking to my sister a relative of her husband a retired RCMP and his wife are selling everything and want to move to either Thailand or Vietnam I suggested Vietnam and told them all I know about how Thailand is going downhill and backwards faster than a run away train.Had a friend and his wife visit 4 years ago ask about coming back to see again I also told him do not come here go to Vietnam.I told both parties do not waste your time in Thailand it is a shiit hole now."

"Thailand it is a shiit hole now"..........on a forum that does not allow comments like this- "You will not post slurs, degrading or overly negative comments directed towards Thailand, specific locations, Thai institutions such as the judicial or law enforcement system, Thai culture, Thai people or any other group on the basis of race, nationality, religion, gender or sexual orientation." lol lol lol lol lol lol
Crap Customer Service
Some years ago, I was banned for a stated period of 3 days.
I am still banned - WHY..??
Because I disagreed with a post and with a moderator.
I did not use foul language, I merely disagreed.
Oddly, as long as I did not accept the judgement, I had full access.
It was finally accepting the judgement that got me kicked out - seems backward..
Short and to the point should also be appreciated...
{{REDACTED}}
- Nasty
Preferred solution: try manners
Mods on thai visa are all Hitlers spawn low life wanna be's
I hate TVF, the mods and the *** that posts i=on there, but I don't blame them for banning this loser !
I think we can clearly see why you were banned.
Metisdead on Thaivisa
Metisdead is an example of how moderators on Thaivisa are intellectually challenged, biased and also compromise their position by taking apart in discussions on Thaivisa. If anyone disagrees with them they are suspended for debating moderation.
Time and again moderators on the T V site see themselves as untouchables who promulgate an agenda of their own - they don't moderate at all.... they wind up other users - the web site needs to review - and dismiss - their moderating staff on masse. and replace them with people who at least have passed some kind of literacy test and some course in critical thinking.
I would love to know where these "moderators" live - but I'm sure they live in fear of being identified - if anyone has contact details of the *** who moderate on Thaivisa, I'd love to hear from them. These people need to be told directly what low-lifes they really are
Come over to my place on Saturday night. I have a little gift for you x
Methhead is a retard of the highest order a corrupt Aussie copper who got busted
Don't waste your time kei splatters when you hit it
I thought Craig#### (forget the numbers he uses) quit being a Mod a few months ago. He's become a more frequent, active participant in global news threads but if he doesn't like or agree with a comment, he appears to log off then re-appear as "Moderator01", shuts down the User(s) disagreeing with his view, then returns again to the conversation again as Craig####.
No problem is there are valid reasons to moderate but the few occasions I've seen him jump in and out of the "mod" role when it suits him, seemed rather immature and unprofessional.
But then again, it's ThaiVisa, which has standards on par with the Thai police force. :-)
Any chance they can be republished?
THe guy is a bigot and a fool and needs to be dismissed.
The details you seek are freely availble on the web have a look at exposedinthailand.wordpress.com and all will be revealed
The site/page has been taken down.
That's a real shame, I'd love to know where some of those mods live.
That sounds pretty *** Why would you want to know where they live? What are you going to do?
Come on, mate, it's a bloody website. An anonymous one at that.
Don't get so worked up about it.
Thai Visa - Forum Review
I have never read so much garbage on a site as I am reading here.
No truth in 99% of it.
Shocked that you fell for it. Ask Thaivisa how many active members they have.
You will find that 95% of the so-called member accounts are banned members, shill accounts, and years old without use. They should be sued for claiming 100,000 plus members, a flat out lie.
Thai Visa member numbers are massively inflated, its a bit like the line from the song Hotel California " you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave"
Stated membership numbers include every person who has been banned and not even allowed to post, and that alone, given the neo nazi approach to moderation must be in the thousands , or members who havent posted in years and lest not forget the fake accounts created by the mods on a regular basis, they are created but never make post
Good luck with your court case, the management and moderators are *** bags
Well here via the link below is the spiel sheet from Thai Visa regarding the traffic it receives and of course any advertiser looking at that would be ecstatic it is no more than a tissue of lies.
Thaivisa has over 307,000 subscribers to its newsletter (October 2015). A newsletter is a great way to instantly get in front of a huge audience.
http://marketing.thaivisa.com
You see what they forget to tell you is that that list includes all banned members , members who no longer post and dead members because once entered as a member your details are never removed even if you ask for them to be removed, also the list is very out of date thus creating the false idea of a greater membership and newsletter membership,
Lies Dammed Lies and Statistics
Waht can you expect from a forum started by a guy who was supplying dodgy visa's and has a lot of gangster friends.He sold out to another bunch of scammers, the suckers of mods there work for free the news feeds are plagiarised then the site says it's their copyright. The news caster or puppet is working illegally, the site is very anti Thai all opportunities are taken to attack the government and the Thai people too.
You see a guy on there offering advice concerning visa's etc who is not qualified or lidnnced to do so. A woman dispensing medical advice which she is not qualified to do.The sooner the site is closed and the mods and owners are on trial for sedition the better for Thailand and its foreign residents too.
Moderator Scott
This moderator seems bent on a one man mission to ban forum members and remove posts purely for the fun of it. When you look at his own posting record, he is argumentative and often baits other members with his views.
As a moderator, he should be unbiased and not become involved in heated discussions. He normally ends these by banning a member and deleting threads. He has a track record of complaints and while I realise that a forum must back it's moderators, this one is actually harming the forum. Other moderators act fairly and take an even view of the threads they moderate but Scott i different.
He seems to enjoy the power of moderation. ThaiVisa, wake up and look at your moderators records.
Yea, I just got "suspended" from TV because this idiot didnt like what i had to say. Post was on topic but he felt it necessary to "fact check me" with lies.
Scott and Jingthing are the same people or are lovers.
He is a complete *** he even posted these exact words to another poster last week
"Well I'm not going to get into a *** contest with the chronically uninformed "
As a poster someone else would get suspended by these words. Could you imagine saying that to Scott!
He is so over the top sensitive that if you disagree with him on some topic within a week or so you will get suspended for barely making a comment.
Then he will say another poster objected to it. Usually it's the girl jinglejew or something.
What does Scott's glory hole have to do with anyone?
Anyway we've brought our *** little lapdog out of retirement to divert attention from the other cretins working here.
Be careful not to catch rabies from him!
got to agree, scott is a pain in the ***, he deletes anything he doesnt agree with himself.
Fair enough. I agree Scott is hopelessly wrong for the job: a ThaiVisa moderator must have some affinity with the forum's predominantly straight members; he should understand issues pertaining to Thailand's large Muslim minority (and certainly not display any sort of religious or ethnic bias); and he ought to espouse a work ethic that commands respect (in a recent post Scott declared that he hates working, and feels most men feel likewise).
-----
In simple English, Scott is a *** and a ***. And he's the kind of *** straight men despise.
-----
But this website isn't the correct vehicle to take things further. I see now this site has zero credibility.
As others have observed, it's an extortion scam.
----- If you want to complain (and frankly I don't as I have better things to do), perhaps write to Dan CheeseBurger. Then again, I suspect that'll get you nowhere as I doubt Mr Cheeseburger even exists. And I don't think you'll have much luck writing to Dan CheeseSandwich, either.
----- The truth is this: non-niche forums are dying.
ThaiVisa is about to descend into a morass of overtly monetized clickbait shyte. With or without Scott, ThaiVisa's "glory days" are over.
What is amusing are that Thai Visa posters attack the current administration in Thailand backed by Thai Visa.com mods concerning presumed censorship and the suppression of free speech and then a super *** mod who banned a long time poster. Scott based his actions by saying it was due to a review of the account account of that long time poster.
Not of course anything to do with the fact that that long time poster is a mod and a regular poster on another site who let their members air their grievances without let or hindrance.
There are now moves afoot to report Thai Visa to the authorities for its interference in internal political matters by non Thais.
when, where and how do I join into the reporting thai visa? more than willing to add my name to the list.
Scott is not the only moderator who should be fired from Thai Visa, Methead and a few others also suffer from facist dictator syndrome
The only other "rogue" moderator I'm aware of was a complete tool called CDN VIC. He was the ultimate keyboard warrior, but appears to be off the scene these days.
A while back they had another sodomite moderator called Ijustwannawankoff.
He was obviously inappropriate as far as ThaiVisa's predominately "straight" community is concerned, but certainly didn't have a chip on his shoulder.
Sadly, long gone are the days when George and Dr PP oversaw things. I still have fond memories of "The Wall" and Soi Mahesak.
Thai Visa - Review in Media category
A website managed by category one *** who allowed a troll to sign up as Dan Cheeseman. Dan Cheeseman is the ultimate owner of Thaivisa.
The troll bypassed all simplistic security checks and had mods such as Ubonjoe confirming he was the real deal. Embarrassing.
Almost as embarassing as the members who replied to the troll in good faith, and even wrote resignation letters. Laughable.
The character mentioned who just loved and still loves the dancing boys of Afghanistan is the H R manager at at one of Thailand's Chinese owned Catholic Schools, where of course he still has access to young boys.
The *** is like all the Thai Visa mods perverted, all working illegally.
Yes, that was an amazing thing to see unfold before me, the funniest thing that I can remember in almost a decade of posting there, before I banned of course.
I have moved on and my name will be forgotten, but this Dan Cheeseman thing will live forever.
Hi Metisdead! Doing OK?
Now stick your warning and suspension up your fat ***. Cheers!
The moderators on Thai Visa are all retards who no doubt all hold hands and dix and have an *** when they delete a post and a a full circle is formed to enable full anal entry in their rites of action when banning a poster.
Look at the record of the mods.
*** stalkers(justwannateach),Full blown sadistic killers (Kata Beach ***) A slef confessed Zionish child lover who works at a well known E P school group here in Thailand, oh manna from heaven for a *** and all scot free too, metisded a retired senile sadist.One could not find a better collection of social misfits anywhere else in the world
Katabeachbum was a valued member of our moderating team. A simple domestic misunderstanding resulted in his partner residing in his basement for three years in a state of deadness. He has now been released after serving 14.3% of his sentence and is entitled to be left alone to get on with his life.
As for 'fair' moderation, since a few week we can order that under 'alternative facts'
We at Thaivisa pride ourselves on our fair moderation. The website is under constant troll and criminal attacks.
The very existence of the website depends on the good will of members to report abuse and criminal activity.
In this case, it was a mistake on the part of the mod team, with one mod later noting it was a clever troll. We apologize for getting this wrong, and appeal to our members to assist us in moderating the forum.
Fair moderation LOL what a joke, every mod on there has their own agenda, and biases, and frankly speaking your the worst of the lot of them, a failed Aussie copper who wouldnt know fair if it slapped them in the face
Stop taking the medication thay you should't be taking and start taking the medication you should be taking, then you might be able to discern what the truth is in your sordid little world and twisted mind(s)
Pull your *** head in Penishead! You are the main reason we are in this deep doo-doo, you and your numbskull sidekick Snotty.
Should have done what I was advised to do when I first took over that *** forum and sacked the pair of you, along with that imbecile Ubonjoe. I may as well have that fat freak from Pattaya, the baht bus queen moderating the forum.
REAL Thaivisa Membership has Plummeted
I went to do some advertising for my business in Thailand. The Thaivisa dot com rates were pretty good and they assured me they had a large number of members.
I recall viewing it years ago and seeing 50-100 members viewing the General forum at any given time and fairly large numbers viewing some of the other forums. I figured with the new ownership, these numbers would be higher. Boy, was I wrong! I got ready to contact them to pull the trigger on the deal, but for some reason I decided to review the site and see how many members were viewing the General Forum.
Boy, am I glad I did. Instead of the 100 or so I expected, there was ONE MEMBER viewing that forum. I immediately cancelled the deal. Further research revealed that Thaivisa counts banned members and duplicate accounts as valid members.
One member told me he had ten different accounts, and seven of which had been banned, but they still showed up as valid accounts.
I smell a rat, but no matter since I got out unscathed. Best of luck to anyone who does business with Thaivisa.
After George sold the website, activity dropped like a rock. Somebody may have been playing games prior to the sale.
I have been banned 6 times so there must be thousands of what have become fake members they count
Yeah, they used to list banned members as “banned”. Now you can’t tell. They just show up as regular members on the site.
Suspended again for the truth
Suspended for describing the govt as a military dictatorship, but that's just what it is. Thai visa is run by idiots, for money and not for the members.
Members are there to keep posting dross and be treated like dirt.
The mad mods regularly delete perfectly acceptable posts, one or two mods like Rimmer and Metisdead are clearly ruining the forum.
It is good for visa and health advice, but if you want to express an opinion forget it. Anything remotely negative about the third world dump called Thailand is not allowed any longer, they just want the fantasy version of reality.
- Moderation
- Mods
The mod rimmer continues to delete perfectly acceptable posts that often add to the fun banter. The guy is clearly very old and has a personal moderation agenda that often destroys a discussion. He should hand in his badge and give someone with a few more active cells a chance
Yep, suspended myself for speculating on the royal family when I did no such thing. Can't even contact the 'moderator' concerned directly to object, which is simply contemptible yet well in keeping with what Thaivisa has become.
Yep - done it again myself. Spending a few hours debating issues today (wet Sunday) I did 'flame' one poster and put them in their place, but he/she did give it to me first.
What I notice is that 'it' is an 'advanced member' with 10,000+ posts. I guess it complained to one of their moderator mates - and I note that it is still posting while I am banned. Clearly the TV mods are both unfair and biased - far worse than what I said is still on the topics posts - including the *** who flamed me.
Lesson learned - dont argue/insult long term members. As the saying goes: there is one thing worse than telling an *** that they are ***, and that is proving it !!
I was recently banned again and not sure why? My screen name still appears on the roster.
Strange.
How many banned members still appear as members. Thousands I suppose.
Sad, the new owners got ripped off by George and company.
As you describe Thailand as a "third world dump" I can only assume you are one of the many retarded *** who post such garbage on internet forums to somehow get your jollies.
Used to feel sorry for pathetic trolls like you, nowdays I would like to see you all stacked ten feet high on a garbage dump.
Hope you don't live in Thailand as your type will only lower the average IQ of foreigners living in that wonderful country.
Almost all the ThaiVisa Mods support the military dictatorship of Thailand that was instigated behind the scenes by the monarchy. The Thai military have succeeded or failed in 19 coups since 1932, and all but a a few coups since 1950 by the Army are at the instigation of the monarchy.
The Royal Thai military are fascist and the monarchy is a conscious dualism of feudalism and modern fascism.
The Thai monarchy and military love their dictatorship so much they have become famous pals to the Dictators in Beijing (who themselves are defining 21st century fascism). It are the monarchy-military-feudal elites of Bangkok in their primitive wealth and power that rule the Kingdom of Thailand.
ThaiVisa Mods support this and they are enthusiastic advocates of it.
All posters who are in agreement are welcome, protected, promoted by the Mods. It's a chummy club of them all over there.
Thailand is upscale feudalism.
The forum itself is a good concept, been a good source of info for many people over the years.
What went wrong was they got greedy and turned it into a mad money making machine, a click-farm, which is why that grubby little man Webfact keeps posting anything that will generate arguments and contradiction, to create clicks.
The forum is laced with anything anti-Thai which the *** trolls love, and anything to do with the government which gets the red and yellow shirt supporters fighting.
The shite-eating mods are the worst thing about the forum but the owners are to blame as well for allowing the standards to sink as low as they have. Sack the mod team and start again. Good luck.
Suspended again? What did you get suspended for the first time?
Well, no need to respond to the question. It's the same old same old really.
Look mate, TVF didn't dream up the ban on the term Dictator. The PM did. Same thing with grassing up the royal family.
You actually think Mods enjoy having to enforce such silly, childish rules?
I would bet 10 Baht they hate it, and roll their eyes at the next ludicrous prohibition coming out of government house. Wishing Thaksin happy b-day. The color red. Female tourists wearing bikinis on the beach.
Can't talk about this. Can't use this or that word else I'll have a temper tantrum. What's next? Who bloody well knows with this lot.
I realize you are a selfish, self-absorbed turd but for one second, put yourself in the shoes of a mod, dealing with knot heads like yourself day in, day out. Especially knot heads who don't learn the first time, and come back and do the same nonsense again, on purpose. You are like some millennial, top knot hipster rocket surgeon who doesn't like a political candidate or some government policy, and so they throws rocks at police.
Get some perspective, man. Let go of your misplaced anger, smoke a joint and chill the F out!
Moderation is So Poor
Moderators such as Scott and Metisdead are out of control and are killing the site, it's dropped in the Alexa rankings from position 1,200 to 2,034 and is now only number 343 in Thailand. It's no wonder the site is dying with such heavy-handed moderators who make up their own rules as they go along.
Drunk overseas posters create mayhem in the small hours and troll along with impunity, whilst local posters are allowed to criticise all things Thai, which is a real turn off for newer posters looking for information about the country. Moderation on TVF has got it back to front, the sooner there's a wholesale replacement of them AND new moderation guidelines are written and enforced, the sooner the site will become useful again and its ranking improve. Admin?
It's probably great as an advertiser interface but it's totally useless at ensuring site integrity. There's absolutely no valid reason why advertisers would want to spend their hard earned revenue advertising on that site, it would be pointless.
Can't disagree with any of the above.
TV Was once a good interesting place to go, full of good information and even a good fun place to kill a few hours before beer o'clock, trolling the Thaier-than-thou types, the Thai haters or the Digital pikey set.
Sadly, now it is controlled by left-wing Homosexuals and their chums, criminals of various guises, and {{Redacted}} posing as 'respectable' citizens. As with all good things in Thailand, the people behind them get greedy and screw them up beyond all recovery, such has happened at TVF, especially when they let opinion and truth die to give credence to the scams and rip offs of their pals and sponsors like Mac Walen and Drew Noyes....
I used to spend time on ThaiVisa every day, but it has changed noticeably in the past 9 months / year in a negative way. Content is horrible and the Mods, two in particular Scott and Metisdead, have serious issues. I've quit visiting the site so often, there are better options out there.
Although i have never been an offical member, i have lurked and read Thaivisa a lot over the last 18 years while living Thailand and does appear the moderarors are way out of control and surely killing that site
Reading some of the posts and questions it seems many of the posters do not live in Thailand and maybe only visit on holidays and pass themselves as experts of all things Thai as seem to have no clue what they talk about most of the time
I also think many of the accounts are "fake" accounts to drive up member numbers in an attempt to drive up advertising revenue, not suprising when you look at who founded Thai Visa....a farang visa crook with multiple names...George, Lars or what ever name he uses now...
So a fake site with fake members pushing fake and biased stories and posts, founded by a man who sold fake Thai visas to tourists...
What could go wrong ?
How about if the potential advertiser had a masochistic streak, would advertising on TVF then be recommended? I mean if they really wanted to waste money with no potential benefits, it could be perfect??
Mod Rimmer is a bit of an *** hole as well! Health and Visa info is all it is good for.
Thai Visa - Travel Forum Review
trust me the new crew is as anti American as it gets. Must be because of the Trump everything was great when it was obama. I'm sure if they were back home they would be melting in the streets with the rest of the snowflakes
Scott twists the "rules" to suit his agenda or to soothe his fluctuating mood swings, and inability to handle valid criticism. If he wasn't a mod, he would probably have an ignore list longer than Jingthing - another over-reactive, dramatic, emotionally unstable ***.
Scott is the fat slob drama queen Jingthings boyfriend
They are all American Jews
I've had exactly the same problem, I've been suspended 9 times with the threat the next time is permanent, one goon even told me RT is a fake news site and not to post any links. An alternate view, or the truth as I call it, is not welcome on Thaivisa. It's American moderators I have trouble with, one three week suspension was for calling the American troops invading the world "yanks", offensive he said, despite it being in the title of two hollywood movies and some yank music.
Dont ever say septics or post anything about Israel in a negative light, the moderators are led by a yank jew
People were banned on there for posting verifiable and on topic news sources such as the BBC which connected the US supporting the Taliban financially and supplying them weapons
The mods on there are almost neo-nazi in their approach to content
Holidays and bans to come
Suspect we'll have some newly suspended or banned members stopping by to vent after commenting on the investigation into Russian collusion (Flynn), and the movement of the Republican tax bill. I see MetisDead is flopping and twitching, desperate to protect Trump's honor but is powerless against the Scott-sanctioned lefty *** as they go about their dog pile on the plethora of Trump articles.
Poor old Metisdead, he's like a one-legged man in an *** kicking contest with one-arm tied behind his back, which he uses to protect against a rear attack by Scott the *** ranger.
Must be rather frustrating, so he compensates by being an annoying, pedantic fool with easier targets. What a putz.
The obsession with left or right wing views is pathetic. The fact is, most of the most extreme views/opinions are intentional and are planted as clickbaits.
I think they do delete some of the more delusional right wing comments.
Americans that watch FOX seem to be the most ignorant people on the planet.
TVF have reached the end. Scott and his husband Jinthing have driven out anyone who disagrees with their views and have totally ruined what was a good forum for those seeking help in Thailand.
TVF is now desperately asking for money and anyone visiting the site will be drowned out by music and an advert begging for help.
Well done Scott and your anti Trump campaign. You have managed to ruin a forum that actually was helpful to those seeking advice on Thailand.
The Nation and Thai Visa - Denial of Free Speech
The Nation is a liberal online publication. The Nations problems started when they acquired an online forum called Thaivisa.
Thaivisa contains a moderated chat board forum. In general the moderators operate to keep discussions on topic, modify post formatting to make posts more readable, and sometimes help out by moving a topic to a more appropriate subforum. They also perform other functions to keep discussions running smoothly. Thaivisa has a news subforum where the news team sometimes posts topics that are political in nature.
Unlike other subforums the news subforum is heavily censored through biased moderation. Many members have been suspended and several have been outright banned because they expressed a political opinion that went against the ultra liberal ideological echo chamber that moderators want to see. The worst moderator uses the member name Scott. Scott attempts to bully other members into spouting the party line, threatening suspensions or outright bans, thus preserving the ultraliberal ideological echo chamber.
The result is that free speech is denied. The Nation is complicit in this since they own Thaivisa and do nothing to stop it. The Nations status as a legitimate online publication is a now a joke. They should correct the problem or sell off Thaivisa.
No other action will work. The bottom line result is that the Nation engages in active suppression of free speech while at the same time pretending to be a legitimate news publication.
- Denial of freedom of speech
Truly a nonsense comment. The nation is considered a conservative media outlet closely tied to the support of the military junta.
The issue of Trump is a minor one item out of dozens on any given day. The world does not revolve around Trump.
What planet do you live on? It's an excellent comment and The Nation is indeed a liberal rag.
In case you haven't noticed, Donald Trump is President of the United States and the world DOES revolve around him. Get a clue.
Given all the bitterness and insults here by the obsessed and disgruntled,
the forum is probably better off without it being spewed all over the threads.
Take your hate elsewhere...
TV mod shrill or might even be the great CEO cheesehead himself
Instead of bleating like a bell end, why not address some of the issues raised?
The forum is doomed and a dire place these days...
The many members banned runs into hundreds, even for using words like libtard, anything that is does not fit their PC lefty agenda is stamped on. The mods are mostly as bad as each other, the main ones that is like Scott, Rimmer and Metisdead and are killing the forum off. Just don't support it by posting anything.
Good advice, Ivor. ThaiVisa has become a safe space for triggered Libtards.
There's a handful of regulars and if we agree to stop feeding their narcissism, personality and sexual disorders, it'll just be them left in the threads blathering to each other.
With nobody to attack or virtue signal to, the regulars will start attacking each other, trying to find out who among them isn't pure "enough".
Log out and stay logged out of ThaiVisa.
Very good idea. I just logged out of Thaivisa for the last time.
I'm never logging in again.
By participating we only help the corrupt system stay in place. As far as I'm concerned, Thaivisa is history.
Admit it "Ivor", you are a former member, banned for your obnoxious, arrogant, {{Redacted}} South African demeanor. Now you troll this site every day under various fake names insulting the forum and it's mods.
We all know who you are, you idiot. How is it going over at the new forum ?
I admit I am a former member and I recommend others become likewise. To support TV is to support left wing intolerance and bigotry. Life is too short to waste your time helping to fill their coffer while being censored and banned, TV is rubbish.

Jsixpack is extremely arrogant and rude which are clear indications of a bored frustrated old man living in a filthy city of sleaze. Picking at posts that dare to criticize his paradise world and the useless authorities that care for it. Just ignore the buffoon and leave him to play with his bottom lip.
Yup agree 100% I just realized it a few days ago and even reported him ( which in 10 years it may have been the fourth time ever I reported someone ) a mod actually got back to me and said he is a pain in the butt! He then said a few more things about him.
JSixpack your suffering the same delusions at JT - you guys bed buddies ?
Thaivisa needs more good mods like Rimmer Scott and Metisdead they always respond quickly when I report bad posts and comments I do not like.
Bullshit....they are ***
Every morning JSixpack checks replies to his posts and cries to the TV mods to remove anything that upsets him. The poor guy is suffering from Pattaya critics syndrome which can become quite serious if left untreated. Probably best place him on the ignore list and avoid any baiting that could worsen the condition.
