[Imc-aotearoa-ed] Title altered - indymedia

[Brian van Dam]

HI folks,
                Actually, this post raises an interesting definition 
problem.

``What is non-commercial?''

The is a notice for an event (film screening) and includes both the 
admission price details, and the word ``bargain''. So what is the 
boundary between a company posting an ad for an event (say a Chemical 
Brothers concert at the St James in Akld for $80pp) on the newswire, and 
an individual or non-profit organisation  posting an event 
(film-screening fundraiser for $5pp)?

We really need to focus on our revision of the Ed policy and the 
proposed Features Policy, and work up a decent list of definitions of 
such ambiguous terms to clarify where we see the  cut-off point. For 
example, I would suggest that non-profit org's posting something about a 
fundraiser would count as non-commercial, but others may disagree...

Oh, and while I'm being frustratingly pedantic, such posts should be 
going onto the Active Calendar anyway, not the newswire. I've almost 
stopped using the calendar, as almost everyone posts notice about 
upcoming events to the newswire!

Cheers,
                Brian.
