[CIMC-work] Deleting posts from the newswire

[ChrisGeovanis at aol.com]

Huh. Looked at the 'hidden' posts and found this one: 
http://chicago.indymedia.org/newswire/display/37471/index.php
"Bush must apologize for his lies, or we will kill our pets", by ... John P. 
Wagner! Did somebody delete 37489 because it was a dupe? And if so (Ian, yer 
thoughts, specifically) does this actually violate editorial policy? In any 
event, we should clarify the difference between 'hide' and 'delete', to the end 
of avoiding the 'delete' feature, (I guess, but I dunno, what do people 
think...). Also, I ran a search against 'Wagner' as 'author/provider' -- and the only 
hit that came up was the 'hidden' post, not the deleted one. Does 'search' 
not show 'deletes', even though the record of same lives on? Also, I appreciate 
that the new code makes it easier to 'hide' comments that seem to violate 
editorial policy and am fine with this, but sometimes it disrupts a comments 
thread that might be better left standing, so I would appeal to people to keep an 
eye on continuity issues where appropriate.
