Is in direct breach of this: (Repeated : content that is reposted or text that was originally a comment posted as a report).
So why was it that one photo report on Hard drugs was removed because it had a link to all other 104 images. Here are over 15 images AND a front page article on ONE subject.
This is also Non-news (posts which are clearly purely comment, opinion or rants unrelated to a recent event or action etc.)
It has no direct impact on the people of Sheffield, if anything it is a Leeds IMC story.
This has been posted here as some people are not aware of the contacts page and how it works etc. Yes i agree this ain't a bulletin bord.
Neither should it be just about eco-activism, it should contain news such as what's happening within the communities of Sheffield.
This was said of another article removed from the newswire:
Here is what destroyerofculture said

In theory every article breaks the publishing rules, everyone who posts an
article is promoting/advertising something even if it is just their ego,
credibility or website. I know you lot have your own imc ego/credibility to
preserve but if you are too strict you will end up like before when no-one
posted articles on indymedia because of fear of the embarassment when they
are removed. Alot of people have poor literacy skills and therefore stuff
that is 'badly' written happens and to censor that kind of stuff simply puts
salt in the wound. If you really want a wide rang of people posting stuff
up there and you want an active newswire and not just a newswire that is
filled by eco-worriors, mozaz and yourself it is inevitable that bad
articles will be written that will break the rules. There is a proccess
that exsists, it is called the comments section where a bad article is given
balance, spelling is checked and errors are amended, through this process
peoples literacy skills improve.
>The start says: "Do not forgett this SUNDAY hippies go mad in sharrow"
>I doubt that this is how CAN want this family event to be portrayed.
There is a comment from mat on this article that says the article does
represent the views of Sheffield CAN. I do not know what you get up to
nowadays but i can bet that mat who has founded and led sheffield CAN has
far more authority and credibility when talking about the network than
yourself.
GET OVER YOURSELF
