[Imc-uk-features] Hidden + request for clarification

[ilyan]

"afaik" is not understood.  Presumably editing is prohibited.

Clarification is needed about what happens to items marked as world.  Do 
all IMCs get it or is it lost in a limbo attached to UKindy,  only seen 
by those who go there from UK?

There is a term in the guidelines that says may.  You are allowed to use 
your own judgment, but it seems you are always very severe.  That 
actually helps save me from  trawling through everything on UK,  I get 
enough good stuff from what you hide, and only go to UKindy to get the 
full URL of source. for example, I think 326339 gives useful mischief 
making information, I have just added its URL to a comment about Bird flu .

But perhaps you are right, it is not part of the UKindymedia guidelines 
that the United Kingdom establishment be demoralised. 
Thanks
Ilyan

No Editor knows what the reader needs are.  Is it too much work to replace corporate re-posts with the URL?   Posting could be encouraged in that form,  so that there is much less editing time called for.....
