55 comments were hidden on the above post. The hidden comments did not break the Editorial Guidelines, they formed part of the contribution to the review that is needed into the policies being forced upon the UK collective by one admin who seems to be able to do what he wants without fear of censure.

It seems that admins are appointed without any form of democratic accountability, they do not have to be elected, their period of power is for a long as they want and the selection procedure seems to be that they are chosen by the current admins. A not a satisfactory arrangement I am sure everyone would agree.

Posts are being hidden without explanation, comments are either hidden or removed in the same way and there is a very serious problem with the direction Indymedia is being taken by one individual.

I have written and emailed the collective and have informed them I wish to become an admin. The responses I get will be published in an open and free way for the entire readership of Indymedia to see and comment upon.
