http://image.lowtech.org/flats.10.03.04/b.htm is not news acordeing to this
could be said to be spam ... seems to be more about promoting another
web site which if you check the link, is nothing more than a random
collection of poor quality images.
i'd vote to hide it

There are several clauses in the UK editorial guidelines that Mozaz disregards on a regular basis:
* Non-news : posts which are clearly purely comment, opinion or rants unrelated to a recent event or action etc.
* Advertising : posts with personal or product promotions.
* Disruptive : Contributions by individuals who habitually publish above mentioned discouraged content. Posts where topical or regional selections disrupts the utility of the sub pages (ie spamming regional and topic selections).
I don't think this is an accident, I think he would quite like to have all his posts hidden so that he can expose the 'anti-working class', 'middle class' indymedia 'censors'... but of course there is no such conspiricy to expose...
I use to defend Mozaz in what he posted, I really can't be bothered any more -- Mozaz please stop using Sheffield Indymedia to promote your personal home page -- this isn't what Indymedia is for.

journalistic freedom anyone?

Independent journalists should be free to investigate what they like and publicise their own 'discoveries'; the alternative is just to conform to the norms of mainstream media (with a protest twist). People will only consider something newsworthy if it involves violence, confrontation with the authorities, or samba drumming - all interesting subjects but not exclusively so.
Also, some concern over quality judgements as they relate to indymedia - what's the impact of this on the participatory aspect of the media?

if one of sheffield's housing estates went up in a riot (most probably a negative experience for a majority of those involved) then this would surely get reported on indymedia.
let's not wait until then to address the issues that affect the wider community of sheff, (those not involved would probably get an erection from such an event happening tho!)
