Just this week, we are discussing a change to the first line of our editorial policy based on the fact that spammers are usually better at putting stuff back up than we are at taking it down.  
Website Editing Protocols
- Our editors will
(or instead, if the proposal for thw wording change passes) 
- With the help of our readers who may alert us to posts in violations of these guidelines by sending an email to houston at indymedia.org, our editors will attempt to:
1.Edit postings to correct spelling, grammar or format problems only without consulting the author 
2.Choose features based on what they believe to be an article's importance to Houston, the solidity of the research and sources, and the quality of writing 
3.Hide posts, without consulting the author, that in the editors opinion: 
- are duplicates (we will keep the oldest post) 
- are in an unreadable format or are marked "test" 
- are boldly slanderous, libelous or personal 
- advocate criminal activity with a specific time, place and manner 
- advocate hatred toward or repression of any individual or group of people 
- are not news related 

Peace,
Nick
