Thai visa lie about the amount of active users they have to create extra revenue via advertising

I have been a member of Thai visa for a few years,recently I had an experience with a local Taxi driver that I wrote about on this blog and decided to copy the blog onto Thai visa.

Every time you click onto a post on Thai visa you are taken to a third party source were the story is held,I did not do this,I posted the full story on their site,with a link to my blog.

Within minutes the post was deleted,I asked why and they said it was due to an advertising rule,I mentioned that I do not have advertising on the blog and they said yes but I was still directing traffic away from their site,OK I replied but I also create traffic for their site by using their links on my blog,as there is no commercial element to my blog I thought this was mean spirted so decided to delete my account,or should I say I tried to delete my account…

HelloWe do not delete accounts, simply no longer read the forum. You are unsubscribed from the daily newsletterLinda

So on this basis when you join Thai visa you join for life,there is no getting out,I have asked several times for my account to be deleted and I either got ignored or I got this helpful email above.

For any would be advertisers please be aware that whatever number the Thai visa team give you as the amount of live accounts they may have, this number is fabricated as anyone wishing to leave is told they have no choice but to leave the account open,strange business practice but I guess it looks good to any would be advertisers.
