[Seattle-editorial] Removing Comments

[Gentry Lange]

Hey Lika,

Great to hear from more people. We were empowered to take on the rightwing
posts at last night's general meeting. We need a clear policy for handling
this situation... and hopefully you can help.

The main problem will be that I can't remove posts all by myself. But I am
willing to teach. Anyone who wants to help, I can schedule 1:1 intros to
working on the newswire, just email me.

Also please reply to "All" so the editorial collective can read responses.

I am going to take on the "Killing Jews" poster. But on a larger scale,
cleaning up the site is going to be impossible without 1. making it obvious,
and 2. Having more than Judy and myself doing it.

Gentry

  Gentry-
  I've yet to make it to a meeting, especially a volunteer orientation and I
realize I suggested keeping comments... But--  I think if someone abuses the
rules of the IMC then their comments should be deleted without explanation.
The right would never allow us to sit there and use up their server space.
I guess I'm fed up with their thugish behavior and think we should "fight"
back.

Ok, I f'd up a bit, cause "Killing Jews is Good" saw me edit his article,
for removal, before it was in the hidden section. And so he saw the comments
I added as to why he was removed (as per editorial meetings we've had
lately.. I was trying to figure out how to do this, comment and hide a
story). He's gonna spam us over this I have a feeling... a feeling I've
mentioned in my other late night emails.
