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.
