[Imc] posting at the U-C IMC

[Paul R.]

Mr. Larrabee,

I am contacting you on behalf of the Steering Group of the Urbana-Champaign 
Independent Media Center.  You have been posting on a near-daily basis to 
our website's Newswire for several weeks.  You may have noticed that many 
of your posts have been relegated to the "hidden posts" area because they 
have been found to violate our Appropriate Use Policy 
(http://urbana.indymedia.org/website_policy.php3).  The main reason why 
many of your posts have been hidden is because they appear to be primarily 
solicitations to buy books from your website.

In addition the frequency of your posts is becoming a problem.  Our's is a 
relatively low-traffic site, therefore a daily posting by anyone is 
excessive, especially  because your posts do not seem to be specifically 
oriented towards our local community --evidenced by the fact that you post 
them on many other IMC's.  Thus, the Steering Group is preparing to begin 
hiding all of your posts in the "hidden posts" area.

You are being notified so that you have an opportunity to modify your 
posting behavior to comply with our Appropriate Use Policy.  In order for 
us to consider not hiding all of your future posts you must indicate to us 
by e-mail your intention to comply with this policy within seven 
days.  Please send e-mail to info at urbana.indymedia.org.  If you do not 
contact us within seven days we will begin hiding all of your posts at that 
time.

If you do not contact us in the next seven days and in the future you wish 
to use the U-C IMC website in compliance with the Appropriate Use Policy, 
please e-mail us at info at urbana.indymedia.org and the Steering Group will 
consider ceasing to hide your posts.

Respectfully,

Paul Riismandel
U-C IMC Steering Group Member
