[IMC-bristol] Re: hidden article...

[Mike Tonks]

I think I'm with ian on this - it should not be hidden.  It is a single 
posting from a political party, gives some basic information usefull to 
the public, and allows feedback and discussion via the comments.

I think that if we received repeated postings from a political party 
than they would be hidden.

So if green / labout / tory / swp post occasionally then that might be 
ok, but if they post regularly then that might be seens as 'monopolising 
the newswire'????  And anyway, they would be cut to pieces on the newswire!

Presumably bnp would be most likely to be considered offensive / 
supporting racism.

Alternative groups like bristolian / independents I see as working 
against the established party political groups, and would be treated 
more leniently - but you can argue me for that if you wish.
