Hopefully free speech will be tolerated when news articles are posted and discussed and not just deleted when someone doesnt like whats said. 

It's all the same people anyway. Most have accounts on both. Not sure how they will handle existing members status cross platform. Hardly important, really. I'm sorry to see this change, to be honest. Now there is no escape 😂...

George Anderssen, ASEAN NOW's COO

 

 

ALTER SCHWEDE!

 

Now this is no more wonder!

I have always wondered, why Asean Now's "journalism" was of low quality; well, it is just Swedish Bonnier AB like!

 

And Thaiger, which I have always compared to German Axel Springer SE "level", now pairing with Asean Now was purely logical!

Oh, but he does.  And he is not normal.  But then, is any leader of any country a normal person?

He doesn't.

I can think of several things that would be worst.

Is this good news or bad news?

I felt that ever since they became Asean now, the moderation was much better. Previously, people would get warned for the tiniest of infractions. Hopefully this lack of censorship will continue.

 

Keep up the good work. 

 

Sure and always remembering that the owners must respect / abide by various laws.

Of course the moderators will remain an important part of the forum, yet the question on will there be change is a fair and valid question.

It as a question, sure, but whether it is "fair and valid" is another matter completely.  The private forums' appointments of moderators (and their sometimes suggested perceived quality) has nothing whatsoever to do with us as voluntary forum members.

Good❗ Hopefully now we will be treated like adults with grownup vocabularies, instead of preschool children. 

You chose to be an adult member of this forum , knowing the rules as an adult, didn't you, but now you want those standards dropped to accommodate your vocabulary?

A ban on pedantry would be a decent change, to be fair.

I can't see it. I once raised the matter about AN being an adult forum, only to be told by a moderator that it was a 'family orientated forum'. What's that all about? 

It is "about" the forum's (and its advertisers') target audience, what's so difficult to understand?

Great. Remove full page ads as one reads an article or responds, especially video ads and other ads placed not to disrupt reading and "Submit." 

Without the ads there wouldn't be a forum!

The site is also not aimed at 2 year olds, so the banned word list should not be so utterly ridiculous. Keeping ignoring the suggestions of people who DO visit the site in the hope of pleasing those that don't is possibly one of the reasons why it lost ~90% of it's value in just a few years.

 

...but what would I know.

Not a lot...........

Agree! Best post so far! 🙏
 

This merger is all for the better for our members and for our staff. The dogs has been pissing on us for a year or two.

 

Thanks for understanding! ❤️🇹🇭

Whilst I agree the English language has always been evolving someone must maintain the standards. Fat fingers notwithstanding.

I guess that this will also mean even more annoying ads in the app, if that is even possible!

memories come to mind about the good old days where thaivisa sponsored meetups in Chiang Mai and other places. went for a couple meet ups here in chiang mai. it was nice to meet George and many of the other moderators. The pages of Remembrance in the Chiang Mai forum is where one could read about friends who have left us. I thank Thai Visa for many friends i have met personally and am still in touch with. Wishing all the best to George and the team.

Ever go to the Thai Visa bar they had on Sukhumvit? was surprised that failed as well.
