Extraordinary times

As you are aware, the Thai government has invoked emergency powers in order to help deal with the COVID-19 situation in the country. This includes closer scrutiny of social media with substantial penalties up to and including jail for those that post material the government deems as "fake news".

PA requests members posting on the forum to abide by the following on top of our normal forum Rules:

  • Do not post news or any form of content, including video, audio, images or social media posts that contains messages that may cause people to be afraid or intentionally distorts information or can cause misunderstanding.  
  • Do not post rumours or speculation.
  • Do not post conspiracy theories.
  • If posting news or announcements include a link to the source.

Any posts or topics which the moderation team deems to be scaremongering, deliberately misleading or has been posted to deliberately distort information will be removed - as will BMs repeatedly doing so. This is on top of the existing rules below.
