Yesterday a post was made to the newswire with strong racist overtones. Incredibly it was promoted, a number of contributors made clear their objections to this post, their comments were all hidden !

One of the contributors was able to identify who the individual Admin that promoted this racist post. That very same admin then using his priveliged position as a password holder went into the post and edited it to remove his name. A clear breach of the rules for anybody involved with Indymedia.

This raises important questions about:
1) why a racist post was not hidden ?
2) why a racist post which was spammed across the entire IMC network worldwide was promoted ?
3) why the contibutor of the post, a known Holocaust denier who is banned from numerous IMC sites is still allowed to post on IMC UK ?
4) why an admin having been caught red handed promoting racism was allowed to remove evidence of his actions ?
5) why the contributions which showed the racist nature of the original post where all hidden ?

The Admin in question is "*" also known as "*" and *, a person who views on Jews are well known within the IMC collective but despite this is still given Admin rights.
