WIKISKY - Interactive Online Sky Map

[kostya30]

I just wanted to inform comunity about new Internet resource - www.sky-map.org . It's real interactive sky-map working more or less liek google maps. It seems like my last message about that was deleted by moderators and I dont understand reasons for that. sky-map is absolutelly non business resource, so what's wrong with just letting people know about that???<br />Thanks.<br />K. Lysenko. <br /><br />(Yevaud, Update: the link is fine, as long as you don't make a crusade about pushing the product.)

Was that whiskey or wikisky Lol?<br /><br />Seriously, thanks for the link, an excellent link at that. Not sure why it would be deleted, could have been simple human error. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><strong>My borrowed quote for the time being:</strong></p><p><em>There are three kinds of people in life.

It was not deleted, it's being held in suspension while we decide if it is to be considered as Spam or not, as it does have a "pay-for" element to it. As well, you have been posting the same thread in multiple forums; that is not permitted under our rules. <br /><br />You must choose one and only one forum for this thread to remain in. Please PM me or one of the other Moderators, so that we can proceed from there.<br /><br />I must also point out to you that when a Moderator deletes a thread, for whatever reason, it is a serious breach of our rules for you to repost it there again. This is frequently considered as open defiance of a Moderator's actions or instructions. Please do not do so again.<br /><br />(Sorry, I forgot to add, "thank you." I hope I didn't sound too harsh a note here. Not intended in this case.) <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em>Differential Diagnosis:  </em>"<strong><em>I am both amused and annoyed that you think I should be less stubborn than you are</em></strong>."<br /> </p> </div>

I didn't get to see the original post but I suspect the op might have written .net or some other extension where it was supposed to be .org. On the latter I see nothing about paying for service (in the faq it says it's a non-commercial project) and I'm currently having fun typing in star names and taking a look at what's nearby them. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>----- </p><p>http://mithridates.blogspot.com</p> </div>

Even so, pushing a product is rather verboten. And it does say that it is pay-for if used in a commercial sense.<br /><br />In any event, no problem. As I said in my edit, above, as long as this thread doesn't keep being reposted or being bumped just to keep it visible, it will not be considered as Spam. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em>Differential Diagnosis:  </em>"<strong><em>I am both amused and annoyed that you think I should be less stubborn than you are</em></strong>."<br /> </p> </div>
