Does Bristol IMC welcome trolling? [1]

According to a post still on Bristol Indymedia,
"Posters need to be aware of their history, Indymedia UK mods WILL pass your details to the cops if served with court orders.
This is a extremely serious claim to make.
Bearing in mind that this article is still up:
http://bristol.indymedia.org/article/712082? it seems to me that Bristol IMC actually welcomes trolling and enjoys publishing disinformation. The claim that IMC uk provided logs to the police first appeared in the "Rise and Rise of the Independents" troll that proved not to be true.

If Bristol IMC have any doubts about the accuracy of the claim I suggest they contact SHAC and ask them to confirm whether or not any IMC uk logs were presented in Greg Avery's trial.
Even if the logs weren't used they should be in the disclosure bundle - and if it isn't then Greg would be entitled to a retrial or acquittal - if the claims are true.......
No?

Turkish spam - what's the source ?
category south west | miscellaneous | announcement author Monday December 24, 2012 10:48author by One pixie among many Report this post to the editors
Regular indymedia readers will be aware of the massive quantity of Turkish language spam all the sites have been enduring the past few months, most of all Indymedia Notts and Indymedia UK. A group of concerned pixies decided to do a bit of digging using a system root password on the UK site to enable us to track the source. ( All IP details were erased after the investigation).
The source is somewhat of a surprise; an Indymedia UK moderator. This seemed to make no sense, was there some sort of sophisticated divert software being used, were we in James Bond territory here with shady agents of the State attempting to make a mod look guilty and discredit them ? Well no, in fact what the evidence pointed at was exactly what was going on. One Indymedia UK moderator was and is flooding the newswires with Turkish language spam copied and pasted from a Turkish football site. Now of course we needed to understand why and this time the answer (after much digging) was found in the IRC chat files that records and exchange between two mods: The chat is reproduced here but the names removed for reasons we shall make clear later.
-@@@- Better use /MSG instead of /NOTICE.
/QUERY @@@ *** Starting conversation with @@@ -> *@@@* If the hidden section is filled with spam nobody will bother going through it -> *@@@* Well how about football results ?
-> *@@@* Cool can U handle that ?
/QUERY *** Ending conversation with @@@
At this stage and after much discussion it has been decided not to name the people involved, sufficient to say we know who they are and now they know that we know.
Our deal is simple, stop doing it and we will not name you, continue and we will.
