[CIMC-work] you should come to the meetings, chris k.

[ChrisGeovanis at aol.com]

Let's get a handle on our editorial actions. I propose, first: that we 
consider reissuing individual passwords for each person who's monitoring the wire. 
That allows for individual accountability, should someone be called upon to 
explain editorial decisions, while also allowing for individual empowerment from 
the larger group to take care of business on the fly. Second, I propose that 
we adopt the following policy on 'delete' vs. 'hide': "Posts that violate 
CIMC's editorial policy will be 'hidden'. CIMC collective members with access to 
the editorial function also are empowered to 'delete' material under only the 
following circumstances: a) when the original poster has requested that an item 
be 'deleted'; b) when bandwidth issues dictate that posts, particularly of 
media [video, photos, audio] that did not load properly or that are clearly 
designed to attack, disable or otherwise render inoperative the site should be 
deleted. Third, I propose that the techs consider mechanisms to tweak our code to 
reverse the prevailing situation, in which it is actually physically 
easier/simpler to 'delete' rather than 'hide'. 'Hiding' should be simpler than 
'deleting', simply as a means to enhance our ability to do our work. Techs, is this 
something that is in the realm of the possible?
