Again a question for moderators

[sidchhikara]

Sid,
The policy is what it is. I won't blame anyone for enforcing a policy but rather the policy itself. The only way to influence policy is to give feedback and hope for flexibility. But in case you can't change it, you can work around it. You can still copy paste an article you found interesting and put your 2 cents along with it. From Satyeshwar's comments, I am assuming that you can do that as long as you add your views with it. In my opinion, it makes the policy redundant. But then that's probably the best thing that can happen to it.

Well ... it is what it is ... the caretakers here don't want it to change. These things shouldn't be so hard. It is like everything else with us as a people ... dimaag ki dahi karna, bheja fry, magaj ka halwa, dimag ki rabdi .......... whatever......

If you wait for a few minutes before closing the thread, people will discuss it and leave comments. Maybe the referenced material is good enough to where it represents what the thread starter wanted to say.
I am sorry but I still cannot wrap my head around this .... people can quibble over anything ... I guess this time its copy-paste.

Sid,

First of all i would like to say that the thread started by you was good enough to start and was worth discussing. But then policy is a policy. Didn't you came across so many copy paste materials with no response. No, i don't want to say that copy paste material is not good to discuss. But allowing these type of copy paste material for a thread invites a lot of garbage new threads without having any substantial thoughts.

In past, there were lot of threads being started almost everyday with a news clipping ( sometime just a link only ... and without a single sentence from the thread starter ). To avoid that scenario only, this policy was/is introduced and its not that bad if you see the overall situation of copy paste threads a whole.

So, i would like to say, you should start the thread again with some valuable input from your side and we can discuss that here instead of talking about policies and other issues.

Only some positive results can convince the Admins/Moderators to change or amend the policies but not arguments.

in agreement with you Deshwal ji:rock

Personally, I have no problem with some quality information in the form of copy/ paste! I did close a couple of threads while following the norms! But, I would still suggest that a member who provides a link/ copy paste information should also give his or her opinion before asking other members to participate and contribute!


Cheer!

Now, thats not fair Satye..


(Kisse dhore time naa ho tae...and topic interesting/hot ho tae..)

and agar moderators ke paas time na ho Poonam ji to ?

Well I know it is hard for Sid and others to digest a quality thread going down , but I am pretty sure all will appreciate that there cannot be absolute policies.

Yes , Mods can be a bit flexible but then you will see people crying over their own nonsense threads te rming them as "quality" ! And that would be a waste of everyone's time and energy.

I guess there is a workaround which Satyeshwar suggested , try and put a few lines of your own views , I am pretty sure that is worth if you sicnerely think the material is worth a read for everyone!

@ Kapil : Market forces was funny but true!
