Sanjay, if you plan on listing each and every venue in town this is going to turn into a looooong thread don't you think

Nick-H · Dec 7th, 2006, 15:22

...six posts merged into one. Doesn't look so bad that way.

SANJAY_DEL · Dec 7th, 2006, 15:26

Apart from the logistics of weaving threads, could you please comment on the usefulness of the content so I could continue with the listings?

machadinha · Dec 7th, 2006, 15:33

Sanjay, they are unuseful. If you have a good link to nightlife in Delhi, please submit it. If you have a personal recommendation, please submit it with a reason why you think it is relevant. Looking up random stuff on the web I assume anyone with a web connection can do; and I assume most members do or they wouldn't be able to log on.

Oh and quote those sources please.

Did I say quote those sources?

Nick-H · Dec 7th, 2006, 15:44

This forum is built on sharing personal experience. and, on the whole, anyone can check out google or the local tourist board websites, so repeating that information here is of limited use.

At the same time, sometimes someone can get just the right stuff out of google, when someone else has been trying for hours!

So if you have a google success for an address someone wants (and lets face it not everyone bothers to search for themselves before asking...) then it is great to publish it.

The thing is to make sure the difference is obvious by telling people --- this comes from Google, this comes from XYZ-state-tourism.com, whatever --- or even 'try googling for XYZ'.

Do not cut&Paste, other than small attributed quotes: there are copyright as well as moral issues. It is against the rules and the spirit of the site.

We try to avoid making IndiaMike a strictly moderated site. It is full of waffle and off-topic stuff, for instance, but it is a friendly place and we want to keep it that way. Just we have one or two restrictions.

Some people don't like it that way. They post a question about idli, and then rant because someone mentions dosa on their thread! They tend not to stay around long....

Others don't like it because we don't let them post just whatever takes their fancy about anything, nothing at all to do with India, travel or anything vaguely related. Sometimes they have to be, errr, encouraged not to stay long.

Where we have to moderate, we would rather do so by hints and nudges. We spend enough time wielding the heavy-weight stuff against the spammers, porn-mongers and advertisers.

We'd rather not have to moderate at all. It can, some days, cut our own personal enjoyment and participation in the site to nil. For me, just lately, having not had as many hours as I often do to devote to this (and other) sites, that is becoming a bit of a drag.

Just a few pointers.

SANJAY_DEL · Dec 7th, 2006, 15:56

Thanks, for the pointers... and for not blasting me off this site; I've kinda started liking being around.
I'd rather not post useless stuff, but I do feel visitors to my home city Del may find it useful to check out some places... I gave out the phone numbers etc, and the info is not from one particular site. I thought THIS was the site to be looking on.

If you have specific recommendations, just give them, and give a reason WHY you recommend them.

What you seem to be doing on many threads on all sorts of topics however is just google around a little and see what you come up with, moreover without ever quoting your sources, where it's fairly obvious you didn't come up with it yourself. Besides a simple link: "here's something handy" would suffice instead of all those quotes. As IndeGuru did above for instance.

I get the feeling you may have discovered the web yesterday but many here will know how to look up their own stuff. If you can help them along with specific hints that they may have overlooked and that you actually have something to say about, fine, that's what the board is for. That there are restaurants and museums in Delhi in general won't really be news to most visitors.

Indojingai · Dec 7th, 2006, 16:22

The guy did give out sources to places he mentions. no?
More pertinent to travel than association of words etc threads I'd say.
