IMC in need for major changes.

For what it is worth now, it should be renamed ISC (Independent Spam Center).
It is a failed experiment. Revolutionary articles do not even make the headlines, instead they are filled with mostly radical liberal naive type articles.
Unless IMC organisers clean up their act, they will find that good contributors to the site will abandon it and it will end up being nothing but a spam site dominated by conservatives, right wingers, and loony left freaks throwing stones at each other when it should be a place for revolutionary discussion.
I do not know why those on the IMC desk do not take advantage of it unless they really do not have a political agenda; which I think is the case.

I really hate that "something ought to be done about it" attitude.
Again.

They would have contacted the IMC contact and raised there concerns. They would have come up with constructive methods of how to prevent spam and right wingers. They would have volunteered themselves to the network to look out for such postings as this one.
They would have left their e-mail as they were so brave to 'speak out'. They would have provided examples of what good contribution they have made and considered joining features list to put forward proposals for middle column stories. They would have known that IMC doesn't have an office let alone a desk. Why didn't they go to the e-mail, because they want to damage IMC.
