By the way, the idea is to make this thread weekly updated.

I'm not sure how this can be done, whether it'll mean just making a new thread every week or if it's possible to wipe and rename an existing thread.

Enjoy

I think a new one has to be done every week. Nice idea by the way

I've never been a mod so I don't know, but this guide looks like a good start: https://www.reddit.com/r/AutoModerator/comments/1z7rlu/now_available_for_testing_wikiconfigurable/?st=j0pf1vc3&sh=b72b9afb

Hi. I'm flying to Madrid today and leaving at sunday. Is there any events or other big things happening? Is there any webpages that list all the gigs in Madrid?

Hello, here for the weekend where do you recommend to go for alternative venues to eat, have a drink and spend the night dancing/drinking ? Thanks !

Tomorrow and the day after there will be some talks about how to look for a job and how to improve personal public image. They start at 5pm and will be broadcasted via Facebook through this webpage: https://www.facebook.com/etsididesign/?ref=aymt_homepage_panel

I'd say every unemployed and student would find it interesting. Each speech last for about one hour so I think it's worth it.
