Hippo-grits does have a point. Since the decision that something is 'offensive' is purely subjective, having moderators/editors who exist on a plane above the commentor/submitter only creates an environment conducive to censorship. I understand that the goal in censoring content is mostly positive, but it has hugely negative side-effects.

For Indymedia to be really effective (and non-hypocritical) it needs to be ran as a purely anarchist (online) community. Anyone care to discuss this further? I've always believed that before you try to change the world, you have to take a good hard look at yourself.
