"We have a lot of respect for people publishing on our site, so we generally only use these features to fix obvious mistakes, such as typos in a web address; or a duplicate copy of a story. Very rarely, someone abuses our trust, and posts a story that is way outside what the website is set up to do, and we may remove it. We are working on the technology to make this process more transparent, so that you can see when such decisions have been made, and why." - Quote from IMC-Austria collective.
[Now compare with the grim reality of life under a Censor's Jackboot, where posts such as the following survive a bare 14 minutes...]

Unlimited Senseless CensorRage at IMC-Austria !!

The practice of CensorRage is senseless !!

The sad daily reality of IMC-Austria makes the pious wish expressed above appear like a grim parody.
Censorship occurs without control or valid justification !!
Even inside the Censored Bucket articles are still censored, again !!
Anyone expressing an open and honest opinion on the so-called 'Antisemitism-Debate' which does not correspond 100% with the private positions of the Mods (or at least one otf them, who goes by the name 'ein indy'), is rubber-stamped with the lazy 'Antisemitic(TM)'-accusation and banned.
These people feel no further need, if even that much, to justify such actions. For example, as Dovid so rightly remarked, a caricature by Steve Bell on Bush's Mideast-speech was censured 2 days ago without so much as a word (1. http:// austria.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=12689&group=webcast ) His request there for further info is souvereignly ignored by the same Mods!!
On this page (2.
http://austria.indymedia.org/ front.php3?article_id=12866&group=webcast ) a relay-race of censorship has occurred since yesterday - approximately 6 comments (including the subject of Latuff) were cleansed by 'ein indy'. Then 'Ein anderer indy' [2nd Mod] appears to negociate, but my reply to him is also immediately cut!!
Is this procedure honest, fair or even related to the IMC-Guidelines?
Or does it rather better correspond to the power-hunger of some tiny mind(s), wishing to impose at all costs their own political stamp on everyone? Who carefully guard against any opinion but their own being seen?
One thing I do know for sure - this has got absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with antisemitism!!
If anyone would like to maintain the contrary, then I formally request him to place his definition of antisemitism here as a preliminary basis for any further discussion, OK?
And then to please briefly state why Latuff's artwork is here (IMC_ch,de,austria) 'antisemitic', but not on any other IMC in the world?
Should the British be considered particularly 'antisemitic', since they heaved his drawings right onto the frontpage? (3. http://uk.indymedia.org/ - as of 25.06.02)
Why may no honest, open and uncensored dabate on this subject occur on IMC-Austria?
Schalom, BlackPope
