What we’ve got at the moment
We reserve the right to hide newswire posts and/ or comments that:
1. Advertise commercial services or products
2. Are repetitive or duplicates
3. Contain or link to pornographic content
4. Publicize or advocate actions that actively endanger human or animal safety
5. Use language, imagery or other forms of communication that promote bigotry and/or hatred based upon gender, ethnicity, race, sexual orientation, religion, class, age, physical or developmental ability, or national origin.
6. Contain content that has been published on multiple IMC newswires
7. Repostings of corporate media content that is available elsewhere on the internet, or excerpts of previously published material.
8. Appear in an unreadable format (e.g., posts posted as test) or are titled “test”
9. Are obviously false or misleading in terms of author, location, time, or actors. This includes attempts to spread disinformation or impersonate another individual.
10. Are unintelligible (e.g., containing numerous spelling or grammatical errors).
11. Are off-topic or are not news.
12. Are flame baits made with the intention of provoking argument and/or limiting constructive dialog.
13. Are otherwise inconsistent with the general mission of this website, which is to use media production and distribution as tools for promoting social and economic justice in the Nottinghamshire-area.
14. Advertise party related politics or push agenda’s for hierarchically structured organisations. Nottinghamshire Indymedia is designed to be a news resource, not a notice board for political parties. The IMC Collective encourages to people and groups to organise horizontally and make decisions via consensus.
15. Consist of large amounts of copy and pasted text from elsewhere. It is good practice to quote a few lines, to illustrate meaning, but link to any ‘main-body of text’. This so to aid with the readablity of material added.
16. Articles and/or comments that contain abusive language against other activists or site users. Please make your point without resorting to personal abuse.

I can foresee the inclusion of class in 1 potentially causing some problems… |
