[imc-oxford-features] Christian Aid event/spam

[owen at riseup.net]

Hi Tom,

You posted this to the imc-oxford-features list, without any explanation
of what you want us to do with it. If you want it to go on the indymedia
newswire, then you misunderstand how indymedia works; you can post it
yourself:
http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/static/prepublish.html

If you were requesting that we put it on the Oxford page as a feature, you
need to clearly say so. However, features are normally only allowed for
issues where there are already several (Oxford) newswire posts. This
wouldn't even qualify as appropriate for the Oxford newswire, since it is
happening in Coventry (nearer Birmingham, which has its own IMC). The
exception to this would be if your post included specific details of how
Oxford-based people can get involved eg details of a coach going from
Oxford.

So, feel free to post it on the UK and/or Birmingham newswires, but please
don't spam email lists so randomly.

Thanks,

Owen the February wanderer

PS Good luck with the demo.
