[Imc-aotearoa-ed] 2 posts to consider

[roving]

Two articles:
1. http://www.indymedia.org.nz/front.php3?article_id=223&group=webcast
totally off topic comment from eshark@xtra.co.nz . Can someone else move
this if there is support? cheers.

2. http://www.indymedia.org.nz/front.php3?article_id=224&group=webcast 
I'm not sure about this one... 
But, I dn't feel we can allow people to make Zionism synonomous with
nazism, not even in a comment. The summary uses the term zionazis. I don't
think that's resonable

Perhaps it could come under:

B. Problems Requiring Discussion[3]
   To be dealt with on a case by case basis. Maintaining openness is a
fundamental goal of the policy.
   Where consensus is not achieved within the editorial collective about
the removal of a post, the post   remains unhidden.
   Potential problems identified so far include:
   ... Content that is borderline profit motivated advertising
   ... Clearly off-topic postings (NB. Delete)
   ... Copyrighted or other illegally duplicated content that exceeds the
bounds of fair use. 
   ... Racist, sexist, homophobic and/or pornographic comments unrelated
to or contributing no   substantial value to the topic under discussion
   Process for hiding posts containing problems requiring discussion:
   1. An empowered editor identifies a posting as a problem and alerts the
editorial collective,
   recommending that the post be hidden.
   2. At least two additional editors must concur with the first editor's
judgement, and none express   disagreement, or, 24 hours must pass without
any editor expressing disagreement.
   3. The editor hides the posting.
   4. The editor appends a signed comment to the posting explaining why it
was hidden.
   5. The editor sends the author an explanatory letter (if email address
s given), also forwarding it to the   editorial collective.
--------------------------------------------------------
Definately one for discussion though in my view. I'm trying to work out
how we could include in our ed. policy things that would apply to blatent
incitement and insult which adds nothing to the topic...
