UT vs UM, links to one another

Post by UdornLA » Mon Nov 23, 2009 8:30 pm

first for the mods or admin...............has anyone from UM contacted you in regard to links to either site, as i have done on both sites, linking info to the other that doesn't have it, while being topical.

the reason i ask this, a post was moderated, the link to UT, removed from UM, in reference to meter taxi thread, which thought was informational, and didn't feel like retyping again, especially with my slow conx and limited monthly allowance.

both sites having meter taxi thread, UT with more information, UM with little, so i thought, spread the word. i have done the same here, review of Aussie Bar, and Book House and Coffee, an example, did reviews, then linked UM link for those wanting more info and menu info, as not on UT. I would think UM would appreciate the added exposure and possibly increase in business for site and sponsors. i have not checked the other thread to see if links are till there.

since i consider UT a non profit site, not in competition with UM, and especially since non sponsor sites are allowed to be posted, as long as not blatant spamming on UM, I'm surprised of the threads moderation. though i doubt if Lee did it, as that wouldn't be very business concious, and a disservice to his sponsors.

so, any feedback from UM, and what are your thoughts. i'm a bit perplexed, since many are still posting on both, just have a bit more freedom here.

link below of moderated thread, as you see, lacking info compared to thread here.

i don't want to stop posting on UM, as i like the information provided, and only fair to reciprocate. but i also have no intentions to retype everything differently to satisfy a mod or two on UM. i've stayed out of debates and try to stick to food/accommodation reviews, travel reports or simply a helping hand when possible for newbies. save my rants for Ronnies rants, though think i'm ranted out, and your welcome :lol: 8-) starting to bore myself, a bit repetitive, pass the ball to Grizzly :lol: :lol: :lol:

Probably a decision from the top ( as i know links to another forum that was in competition where always deleted) to which all the mods are actively taking out with a smile on their faces no doubt..... they don't want traffic being diverted suppose its fair enough but certainly some sour grapes are in there also..., its only a small acorn on here...shouldn't make any differance to the mighty map...

LA youve got your answer mate!! They deleted your post linking it to here or moderated out UT... So you should stop linking theirs from this site, simple!!! carry on posting on both but if they have to be childish and still have sour grapes then please dont use this site to advertise them... you wont be moderated on here LA but why not just bend over drop your trousers and thank UM afterwards!!! they wont thank you EVER.. No one will...

Deleting Lima Alpha's links to UT is churlish in my view and broadly characteristic of the moderating team that some of us left behind. I joined UT on 18 October and not looked back since. Oh, I've had a quick peek at UM but there's nothing there of any interest to me anymore.

LA, Dave's right, you have your answer, why post and be deleted on UM when there's guys on this site willing to read and appreciate what you say, without the conditions?

Probably a decision from the top
Lee and myself have a pretty good rapport, and he always sends me a pm when doing something, or if late, i suspect another mod reported to him and then he explains it to me. if he does it, i get an pm almost immediately. after post moderated, i posted again, pretty much repeating what i said here, and after that was submitted, i tried to save page as, and it was deleted immediately. think Lee has better things to do than have my post sent to him for approval, as i rarely go off the deep end, especially of late. something they won't have to worry about in the future. *****^^ *****^^

I see your request on um for 'all' your postings to be deleted LA....personally i can't see that happening as they are too much of a valuable source of info.......will i be surprised...?

I thought it was websites that couldn't be verified that were deleted and as I recall usually links to websites from a trusted forum member were allowed. Links to Thaivisa have been posted without being challenged. Maybe it was done out of spite, childish it you ask me.

i dont think there is a maybe about it . i would say its definate . although i dont understand why , as i had a p m from lee over my last ban , saying that he felt the site had improved , and was easier to moderate with less jokes , banter , humour , sarcastic comments , and people going off topic . well he should be happy , because all those trouble makers are now using udontalk , and loving it !!!!!! so it looks like a classic case of U M wanting there cake and eating it at the same time . so no real change ah . :roll: :roll: anyways what you decide to do L A is your choice , all i can say is there will always be a home for your thoughts here , and you will always be welcome . i like your style , and i think your travel reports are great . ++)(* ++)(*

i suggest we dedicate a section to LA and his trip reports and restaurant and just about any subject he wishes, cost of living here i find very interesting... because this forum or any forum is only as good as its forumites...

now anyone who uses um will have to come here to see it, im sure that wont be a problem as LA's posts are so informative...
