    Another, another Thai Visa reject.

    Hi guys,
    Another reject from Thai Visa.

    I join my old friends Neverdie and Soutpeel who have also seen the light.

    I got suspended off Thai Visa for using the word ‘Badger’ in a thread about rodents.
    In fact every poster on that thread who mentioned a rodent got a suspension.
    It was like the night of the long knives.
    The mods swooped down and just started suspending people without explaining why.
    The explanation I got was that naming rodents is trolling.
    No previous warning that these words were offensive or what words we would be suspended for.
    It has gotten to a situation where we don’t know which words are allowed on Thai Visa.

    My interests are camel baiting, judging granola bar competitions, chair theft and I am the Chairman of TCI, PLC.

    Also I like to take selfies of me carrying our carpentry with a toffee hammer, which makes me look like a giant.

    Hope that I can enjoy the life here better than in my last posting and that no-one mistakes me for David.

    Got, welcome. I have found that TV is quite civilized over the past 12 years. I was culled from the Phuket Gazette for my comments, but making the same comments on TV were accepted for some reason even though they are the same company I believe.

    I never visited their chat forums, so that may be a different kettle of fish. I have over the years made various comments to so called news articles, but have never been rejected or edited out. I don't use colorful language in my replies and have found that the slug fests between members pretty non-existent as well.

    I use TV for Thai news sources for the most part, not as a place to post my opinions or other garbage. I reserve T.D. for my garbage disposal.

    Anyhow enjoy your stay here.

    Ach Mien Got Thaimeme,

    Your Granola would hold the first place in the Middle Wallop Village summer Fate.
    Not sure if they would hold up till July, so you may well have to bake a fresh batch for that event.

    Granted, the news reports/news section is quite good but the chat forums are a minefield.
    The greatest shame is that I leave behind some great online friends but the situation where you are not sure of what word they will secretly ban next is ridiculous.

    Try typing Teakdoors into a post on TVF.
    The swear filter picks it up and deletes the word, how pathetic is that?

    To be honest I really do hope that you find David.
    Apparently his absence is stressing out a few people here.
    Just one question, who is David?

    I deny all knowledge of this matter.
    The tests that were being carried out were for the double barreled TGAU.
    The Carbon Fiber TGAU project has been temporarily placed on hold.

    Not to be confused with David48 on the other channel...

    It's like a game of where's wally in the newbies section at the moment.

    I can foresee a mass exodus of banned TVF members to TD leaving the Mods and astroturfers to play with their pet gerbils in their caravans at Greenock camp site.

    Welcome to TD
