More mass removal of off-topic conversation.

Off-topic post removed that also broke a forum rule about external content.

14) You will not post any copyrighted material except as fair use laws apply (as in the case of news articles). Please only post a link, the headline and the first three sentences.

In this case it was a number of images of text.

Sounds like he was a decent man but sorry to say I have never heard of him.

MAYBE IT IS YOUR TIME

3) You will not post about activities or links to websites containing such material that are illegal in Thailand. This includes but is not limited to: gambling, betting, pornography, illegal drugs, fake goods/clothing, file sharing of pirated material, pyramid schemes, etc. Discussion of the above is permitted only as news items, but never as a "how to" topic.

CLOSED///

A post quoting a post number rather than using the supplied quoting function (and its replies) have been removed. If you quote a post number then we remove a post behind it you are then quoting the wrong post. Use the quoting function if discussing another member's content.

Further to this I have removed huge swathes of off-topic conversation. This topic is not about promotion in the military.

Post referencing another post by number removed. Please use the quote function. As we moderate the forums and remove posts the numbers will change. Quoting a number may end up with that post referencing the wrong post.

Image of a 3rd party who, at this time, has no involvement in the case has been removed along with a reply. It is in the forum rules and Thai law. Sorry guys.

6) You will not post comments that could be reasonably construed as defamation or libel.

Defamation is the issuance of a statement about another person or business which causes that person to suffer harm. It does not have to be false to be defamatory. Libel is when the defamatory statement is published either in a drawing, painting, cinematography, film, picture or letters made visible by any means, or any other recording instruments, recording picture or letters, or by broadcasting or spreading picture, or by propagation by any other means. Defamation is both a civil and criminal charge in Thailand.

Very sad day today. I am going to re-read all his books, in order, to build up to reading his last book. Should be done in a couple of years. Good to know I'll get to discover the Discworld again and then again with my little girl as she grows up.

Replies to a post hidden yesterday have been removed. Sadly this has involved the removal of a fair conversation about translations in court. Unfortunately that is the result of including a removed post in a reply. This seemed to have happened accidentally as the 1st reply came right after my last post.

Apologies.

Post removed for a generalisation about Thai nationals and their ability to speak English.

11) 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.

For the record I know MANY Thai nationals with outrageous command of the English language, both spoken and written. I have a firm belief that there are more Thais capable of excellent English than there are foreigners capable of excellent Thai.

-----------------

Another post removed and member given 24 hours posting suspension for flaming.

7) You will respect fellow members and post in a civil manner. No personal attacks, hateful or insulting towards other members, (flaming) Stalking of members on either the forum or via PM will not be allowed.

To preempt the incoming posts I would like to iterate the following rules. Naturally ALL forum rules apply (as always).

This is not for debate.

Post removed for replying inside the quotes. This makes it difficult for people to know what is being quoted and what is a reply. When quoting please place your content outside of the quotes.

Not from where I'm sitting

Try that link. You'll find it is a TOT owned router address serving a page as part of a filter. This is the common re-direct for banned material. The reason you are getting a malware indicator is an overzealous av/malware/spybot detection routine triggered because this page is having information served that hasn't been listed as approved (such as the googleapis are).

The way the mechanics of this website software are structured, there is no good way either by quote or partial quote, post #, or URL to reference a post by a Member that is subsequently deleted by Moderation.

Naturally if the post is removed you can't refer to it. Further to that we will remove any posts that quote the removed post.

Moved to "Visa & migration to other countries"

Please remember that we do not use altered formatting on ThaiVisa (i.e. all bold)

Forum Netiquette

1. Please do not post in all capital letters, bold, unusual fonts, sizes or colors. It can be difficult to read.

Post mentioning royalty and replies removed.

1) You will not express disrespect of the King of Thailand or any one member of the Thai royal family, whether living or deceased, nor to criticize the monarchy as an institution.

By law, the Thai Royal Family are above politics. Speculation, comments and discussion of either a political or personal nature are not allowed when discussing HM The King or the Royal family.*
Discussion of the Lese Majeste law or Lese Majeste cases is permitted on the forum, providing no comment or speculation is made referencing the royal family.

To breach these rules may result in immediate ban.

Linking to external sites which break these rules will be treated as if you yourself posted them.
