This posting is obviously a skit aimed at the IMCuk collective and is a misuse of the newswire - therefore i am hiding this post.

By way of explaination: We have been very patient with the postings ranting about the way we administer the newswire and listened carefuly when the comments are productive, and even incorporated them into our new editorial guidelines. Previous postings agains us have been left and even encouraged in the debating area of the site, but this is obvoiusly not enough for some. There are a few anonymous people posting, who are continuously using the newswire to have a personal go at us as a collective after we have openly stated our position, and explained the reasons behind our actions. Most of the time i would argue that this is fine, and part of the workload, and often justified, but it is now getting boring.

The maintaining of this newswire takes alot of time and energy, and we want to concentrate on that without these silly distractions - so simular postings will also be removed.

As a reminder: The Newswire is a place for you to send your reports from the streets of actions and events in the UK. We do leave other postings up that are informational or relevant, (see out adminitration list - linked from the editorial guidelines to see what we hide and when) but do reserve the need to remove posts where we see fit. This does not refer to our political ideas (as a collective we cross a range of views) but to keep the site relevant and interesting.

In solidarity
Tony (IMC UK collective)

I've copied and pasted the IMC / AMC article into the debate area - in the discussion about IMC site (criticism / points for development etc) at  http://uk.indymedia.org/display.php3?article_id=1179
