Locking Of Important Threads

[okinasan]

I am appalled at the locking and deletion of two threads which are of considerable importance to this community. Firstly, allegations have been made which may damage businesses and reputations, everyone to whom this may a cause for concern should be allowed to have their say. Secondly, this forum always used to be a place where free speech was encouraged.

Both these issues were important. Neither will go away, now that they are in the public domain. They will, hopefully, be even more in the pubilc domain, as will Thai Visa's locking and deleting of both threads, by next week. This community needs to have its voice heard--we are very used to hearing that Thai censorship is prevelant, but when our own people start to censor important issues as well -- that is taking things a great deal too far.

p.s. -- not a hope in hel_l this thread will get through the mods, I suspect. Read the paper next week, guys.

Guess reading the forum rules is a bit too much.

"5) Discussion of moderation issues, actions or moderation policies concerning individual cases are not allowed in the forums. Such comments should be directed to a moderator or administrator, and not discussed on the forum."

Any issues with topic closures or moderator decisions can be addressed to admin [at] thaivisa.com.

Further attempts to re-open the previous topics or discussing this again in the public forum will result in a warning and/or suspension.
