>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,
>
