The site and the entire community deeply appreciates your efforts in keeping the information fresh and in helping fellow passengers. We are all extremely fortunate and privileged to have your participation in the site's activities. Now and again, there are some accusations in the forum that info is inaccurate, or that the site is deficient in other respects, or that other sites are better than this one. Although constructive criticism is very welcome, negative criticism without a point helps no one, and only inflames tempers. Some notes on this aspect:
1. The site does NOT claim 100% accuracy of information. Inaccuracies are inevitable. This point has been noted and repeated in RED letters in several places within the site. Therefore, any criticism
...

regarding this point is unfounded, since we ourselves openly acknowledge that there are inaccuracies.
2. The site does NOT claim to be the best site in any category. The internet has billions of websites - this is one such site with its own community of dedicated bloggers. Many other rail sites and other social sites are much better than this one in terms of information accuracy as well as presentation of information. Given our admission of this fact, once again, there is no grounds for negative criticism or argument, since we ourselves declare and admit this point.
3. All information in this site is secondary - from other sites, news articles, members' inputs. This site does not operate Indian Railways trains. Any timetable, running status and other information reflects public information already available in newspapers, blogs and other locations. Such information is liable to change at any time, as is the case with any other transportation system.
4. Members and Admins are not liable or responsible to defend the site against negative criticism. We are all extremely proud and privileged to have this thriving and vibrant community of bloggers. Like any other site, this site will have its detractors. This fact is recognized. We respect individual freedoms and varying tastes. Some bloggers will find other sites and communities more suitable to their tastes - once again this fact is duly respected.
Whenever there is non-constructive negative criticism of this site, you may refer this Site Announcement Blog Entry, instead of wasting your valuable time in the defence of this site. Any aspect/disclaimer that is ignored here may please be added within this thread.
Thanks very much.

criticism is bound to happen and will help us in bringing a better site so we should only focus on how to improve rather than reacting to other way

आदर नीय सर - एक दम सही बात कही है आपने --हम सभी यहाँ लगन और परिश्रम करते हुए हमारी इस साईट को सर्वोत्तम बनाने की कोशिश कर रहे है -- लेकिन हम यह नहीं कह सकते की हम अन्य साईट से अच्छे है या अन्य साईट इस साईट से अच्छी है -- सभी में कुछ ना कुछ अच्छा है और सभी अपनी तरह से रेलवे का बेहतर ज्ञान देनी की कोशिश करती है --और ना ही हम यह दावा करते है की यहाँ दी गयी जानकारी १०० % सही है -- हम सभी सही जानकारी जुटाने की और यहा प्रस्तुत करने की भरसक प्रयत्न करते है -- इसके बावजूद भी यदि हम किसी ब्लोगेर या अतिथि गण को सही जानकरी ना दे सके to हम क्षमा प्रार्थी है ---जितेश भाई ने सही कहा है की कोई भी १०० % सही नहीं हो सकता है क्योकि १०० % सही...

Very well said sir. Why not we add another panel " Important note" on top of rail news panel, so that it is always visible to every body.

Sir if part or most of this information keeps flowing on the top of the screen it would help all us as we as you rightly said end up defending the site. It would be good if some information keeps flowing on the screen so that people are aware of what this site/forum caters for.

It will be better if you put a disclaimer about the site so no blogger or guest will ask you and admin can just give a link to disclaimer. But I have a query is this is the proper channel to show your thoughts and idea as this is not visible in your home page as some one if come to this post then only he will see your disclaimer. My suggestion is you can put a disclaimer at the top or bottom of the home page.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
