Indymedia Moderation Meeting

category national | arts and media | event notice author Friday September 23, 2011 09:43author by One of the indymedia.ie Report this post to the editors

A meeting to discuss moderation on indymedia.ie will take place as follows
Venue: Teachers club,
Date: Sunday October 2nd
Time: 2-4pm


In the run up to this meeting we would like to elicit some ideas and discussion on the subject amongst the users of the site. This thread is intended as a vehicle and a catalyst for this.

A large part of our work as volunteers at Indymedia consists of making judgement calls as to whether comments on submitted articles are contributing to healthy discussion or not or indeed whether a particular article should be allowed to remain visible on the site at all.

These judgement calls are based on our editorial guidelines.
https://www.indymedia.ie/editorial

Previous editorial decisions are stored here
http://lists.indymedia.org/pipermail/imc-ireland-newswire/

Do you think any of our guidelines should be amended?
Do you have any suggestions how our moderation can be improved?

Editorial note: The guidelines have been loosened in this thread to allow a full discussion
