hi David,

firstly, please switch off you yahoo! auto responder - it serves no
purpose except to waste my time.

it's good to begin a dialogue about this, let's see where it goes.

to start with here are some examples in which the editor who hid your
article made a comment on why they did so, the comments others made are
also interesting to read.

http://www.indymedia.org.nz/front.php3?article_id=2344&group=webcast
http://www.indymedia.org.nz/front.php3?article_id=2272&group=webcast
http://www.indymedia.org.nz/front.php3?article_id=2322&group=webcast

clearly your reposting of articles we've already hidden is not the best
way to co-operate with our efforts at making our newswire follow our ed
policy.

in our editorial policy, under the heading "// NEWSWIRE PUBLISHING"
there are some types of articles that we especially encourage. do you
feel your posts fit with one of them?

as is clearly stated in section 'A. Problems For Immediate Action',
posts containing no content and duplicate carbon copy posts are
immediately removed - so this explains why once we remove something
once it tends to disapear faster the next time. this also explains why
posts like this are removed:
http://www.indymedia.org.nz/front.php3?article_id=2344&group=webcast

under section 'B. Problems Requiring Discussion' you have also fallen
foul of 'Clearly off-topic postings' - to get a feel for the topic read
the beginning of our ed-policy.

i hope this helps you understand how we apply our editorial policy.

regards, rovin
PS, please do not interpret my comments as being those of
indymedia.org.nz. we are a collective and each speak for ourselves with
an eye to keeping a general view. This is partly why all this
correspondence passes through the archive.
