Dear Ra,

But what are you doing about the newswire? It is full
of repeat postings, racist rants and stuff that is
completely against what Indymedia sets out to do. The
features column is only updated once a week, but the
newswire is full of right-wing nonsense. It has been
hijacked and there is absolutely no control exercised
by the editorial collective.

The German IMC apparently clamped down recently on
fascist postings by requiring moderating for all
articles submitted. Could this not be repeated for
India IMC?

As I said before, I would be more than willing to help
hide posts that encourage violence, communalism and
right-wing extremism. I am sure that if the editorial
policy is tightened up at least for a few weeks, the
fascists will get bored with having their articles
hidden and will go elsewhere.

If this situation does not change, India Indymedia
will be closed down. You cannot have a situation where
the newswire is used to threaten and intimidate
minorities and individuals.

Ganesh.
