Repression of minorities by Indymedia
03.02.2005 18:28
A more serious example, involving some of my own contributions is:

I should imagine that Ximenes wasn't very pleased about this either.

News, issues and analysis

But the guidelines refer to “news, issues, actions and analysis”, not only news.
Non-news means ”unrelated to a recent event or action etc”.
There are even topics called “Analysis” and “Indymedia”..
It did relate to recent events in the field of hiding news, and several contributors embarked on an analysis of Indymedia.
Presumably you will be hiding “Be your own journalist”, on the grounds that that is not news.
Or you may agree that items relating to the operation of Indymedia itself are permissible.

The editorial guidelines were drawn up by the imc collectives after much deliberation, with the aim of enabling as much open publishing as possible, without the newswires being deluged in tedious nonsense by vexatious trolls with too much time on their hands.
Apologies to indymedia readers/contributors that this thread is still on the wire. At first we give a poster the benefit of the doubt, and then we find it's one of our most persistent trolls Roger up to his old tricks again. Roger, in your case, never has the phrase "get a life" been more appropriate.

And your Guidelines also ALLOW issues and analysis, and comments are invited !
When is a comment not a comment?
When is a “troll” a “troll” ? This is what was being discussed, but was not allowed to be seen to be discussed.
As in the past, if people are not identified as “trolls” they are sometimes identified as “Roger”. How do you “find out” that it’s supposedly “Roger” ? Do you investigate everyone’s identity electronically, or is this just a meaningless smear like “troll” ? Are you going to try to reveal the identity of your other contributors when it suits you?
When you invite “Roger” to get a life, does this apply to everybody who takes the time to contribute to Indymedia, telling their own story, in their own words and in their own style? Whatever happened to the idea of local residents reaching out to the wider community with “issues, stories and VIEWS” ? (That’s your Mission Statement).
Why doesn’t Richard Thorneycroft get a life instead of wasting his time censoring what he considers to be improper reading for everyone else ?

Dave and others do seem a bit mindless.
I think Richard is more dogmatic and slow than mindless.
