Can anyone explain why the article "Ever wonder?" was pulled/hidden from the newswire? Surely there was nothing about it that constituted a violation of your posting standards? Just wondering.

Indy does not want this fact publicised. It's a hate thought.

Over the past year or so I have enjoyed reading ALL the comments posted, the ones that express things I wish I could have, the ones that inform of things that I didn't know, the ones that inform of the things I did know, but did not think to link, the ones that make me laugh, the ones that make me scoff, the ones that make me rage ... ect
I have noticed recently an increasing amount of comment removed soon after posting, including my own, especially in regard to the middle east
Is this really coincidence?
Is there any pressure being brought to bare?
The missing articles maybe 'bollox', but why does this make it all right for others I don't know, who don't know me and who never asked to, to avert my eyes for me
I am not a child, I will not always share your views, but if you decide for me then its all over isn't it?
Just another heirachy climbing the greasy pole to the top ...
I DEMAND AN EXPLANATION, ELSE IMC IS FULL OF SHIT!

have a look at this comment in regard to what you're talking about

sorry folks but we are anachists

basically IMC is 'editted' bay a loose collection of volunteers. This week manchester is doing it. We had some debate about this one and I was in favour of leaving it.
However we like to be publishing news on the news wire not simple opinion and it was felt that the oopinion however valid was not backed by any news.
Remeber posting real events and news gives a stronger message that posting an opinion.
P.S. nothing is ever deleted it is moved to the back page so feel free to read all the content.
P.P.S. thank for contributing but please understand this is meant to be a news wire that sparks discussion rather that a discussion board

as you are right jack it doesn't break any of the guidelines
as mentioned above we are a new team taking this on.
in germany imc and others - they have different sections for news, "analysis" and events.
while we are waiting to migrate to this system
we don't have such a way of catagorising posts
so please do try to keep the news wire news -

Is it right that editors of Indymedia should act in this way?
