G8 criticism and IM censorship?

Please explain mods?

There was a post here this morning that was critical of the planning and organisation of the G8 event yesterday.

At first two of the follow-on comments that made entirely reasonable points after it were deleted, and then when that was questioned in the comments the whole newswire piece was deleted.

Why? It was exactly the same as lots of posts here that don't get deleted, so please explain why you choose to delete it mods.

Indymedia is not a service for trolls who wish to attack us or the actions that are reported on Indymedia - its a news wire for people who want a better world......

IN an hour I will hide this thread - and any other posts you spam to the newswire on the matter will also be hidden.

I read the criticisms of the stop G8 protest this morning and completely agreed with the comments- yesterday was a complete disaster. In order for events like this to be a sucess we need to link up with other groups otherwise these "actions" will just dwindle into a self indulgent subculture that has no connection with people. And no relevance.

Not trolling

I have read the list thanks, a few times, but it doesn't answer why the post was deleted and otehrs that are similar but to do with other events aren't. Is it because you had something to do with the organisation by any chance?

And it's not trolling/spamming to criticise events and want to talk about why they weren't good is it?

What?

trolling and truth

It is trolling to claim that a statement that there was "no organisation,
no planning and no fall back plan" is "entirely reasonable" when it is a palpable lie.

Now why are you using this thread when there is a list for this exact purpose?

News on the newswire - moderation issues on the moderation list and trolls back under their bridges if they can't be arsed to respect the way things are done.....

As you now have seen the list and know what to do this thread will be gone very soon.
