Ive been told that a certain socia media site has been reported to authorities for allowing a member, no WP, to run adds for a restuarant under the guise of the adds just being a topic of conversation instead of paid advertising, therefore dodging tax on the payments from the restuarant. Cash in the pocket of all concerned. They will find themjselves in hot curry soon. I do find it hard to believe, probably just a viscious rumour.

Vague and who are you accusing exactly?. Surely on a discussion forum, a discussion about a business is purely that, otherwise it could be construed that every topic mentioning a business is an "advert".

 

It sounds that "they" are accusing someone who perhaps writes reviews of restaurants / hotels / bars doing so for financial gain. Good luck proving anything, and while they're at it I suggest "they" report everyone who's ever written a Tripadvisor report on a Thai venue at the same time.

 

looks like you're doing a bit of trolling to be honest.

Might be useful giving a bit more information rather than this airy fairy rumour with no substance?

 

Just a thought

Your thought and, I imagine, that of most BMs. Edited by Bazle

As for Work Permit dodgers, I would imagine that immigration or whoever investigates this kind of thing is more interested in an easy snatch like catching any given farang "bar owner" / burmese construction worker/ Russian or African "tour guide" (of which there are loads on WS) instead of having to prove something that is behind a username, in the public domain and open to interpretation.

Usernames are no protection.

Can you explain what you mean by this? I have a hard time imagining how this would apply to ads on social media.

 

Evil

"What was your name the States [uK], was it Johnson or Jackson or Bates?" I get the feeling uncle is no stranger.

With the Thai laws on defamation, i thought not a good idea, even if proven to the the truth. Ive read this on Thaivisa.com.

Who are you defaming???

 

So you're repeating a non-story from Thai Visa?

 

You might just have said "I've heard a rumour, but can't say anymore" - a complete waste of time and bandwidth.

Martin, I'm a Global Board mod for a sports site with almost 100 separate boards.

 

This is the kind of thread I lock immediately. Ballboy (our term for posters with as few posts as the OP) posting sh*t just to stir rumors. Wouldn't doubt that he/she is somewhere else under a different username pointing to this thread to justify him spreading the rumor at the other site.

 

My dos centavos.

Agreed... The thread has a stench.

 

Locked.
