IAWM: 'This Forum Will B Closed Down If the level of commentry does not improve'

Why doesn't the IAWM just use Indymedia.ie's newswire for discussions?

The IAWM is staffed by volunteers we do not have the time to monitor a web forum. It was hoped by stating the policy clearly that users would behave like adults and not post ridiculous messages. However the experience has been that posts have been off-topic, factually inaccurate, racist etc. The fact that I have to spend my Sunday night writing this message is proof of the general waste of time that this forum has become.

The next Steering committee meeting is in two weeks time. If I do not see an improvement in the level of discussion on the Forum I will ask the steering committee to authorise me to shut it down.

This will be a loss to some people who have posted interesting items but as I have pointed out we are not going to waste our time monitoring childish behaviour.

That way they could focus on their website and .org matters and not 'monitoring childish behaviour.'

just a thought
