One of IMC , my statement and proposals

One of IMC | 03.06.2008 08:23 | Indymedia

Yesterday long time Midlands activist and respected Indy contributor Manchester Lad made his public resignation from the UK Indy network. Last night on IRC another London based Indy UK moderator announced his intention to cease working with the main kollective and to concentrate on London only work believing the UK Indy network to be,

"riddled with anti-semitism"

I as a non active member of the UK kollective are not resigning, I do not see the point but I do call upon other kollective members to support the following proposal. I am making this proposal as a post because when it was sent to the moderation and features lists last night it was blocked.

A clear statement from the kollective as a centre page feature stating the following

1 anti semitism is not welcome on the newswire

2 anti semitic posters will be banned

3 mods using their block to prevent the hiding of anti semitic material to justify within 24 hours their reasons for doing so

4 mods who hide posts to notify the moderation lists within one hour of the hiding

5 mods who hide comments to notify the moderation lists within one hour of the hiding

6 mods should not hide comments within strings that they have contributed to

7 the hiding history of each mod to be published each month in a public list covering both posts and comments

8 all mods to make a public statement saying they agree to hide only within the scope of the editorial guidelines

9 all mods to agree to never to edit posts without the agreement of at least two other kollective members and to notify the moderation lists immediately a post or comment has been edited with full reasons for doing so.
