Like adding a feature to edit (spelling) mistakes? edit: OK, I take it back and apologize. After some help, I figured it out. Thanks, bignok. My number one suggestion would be to have an AI driven moderator (we could call it AIMOD) to weed out troll posts such as racism, sexism, ageism and flame posts BEFORE they appeared on the forum. The troll posters will soon realize that their efforts will be a waste of time and the qualify of ASEAN NOW might just improve a little bit. Bring it on.

brianthainess Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Have you been keeping up with the Thai news? If so do you think Thailand has become lot more violent say since 2014 , so many illegal guns, really brutal murders, stabbings, Road rage is now a lot more common here, shooting other drivers. I feel almost paranoid now when buying rubbish sacks. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
