CENSORSHIP ON AZ IMC

HAS ANYONE NOTICED their posts being censored?
I've been an activist on social, peace, justice and eco issues for nearly 30 years, I'm used to being censored by being ignored. I am a walking history book of radicalism in the USA - lots of history to share.
I was shocked to see a number of writings I've posted being censored systematically. These posting suggest peace is possible, no cuss words or attacks, just words of love and support - a prayer for peace. While it may be that those of us grounded in a spiritual quest for peace have been out numbered by career activists, this still is no cause for censorship.
OR - is there a way non IMC AZ people can remove posts and comments??
Even *this* post may be censored - so if you have noticed the same thingwrite the editors of AZ IM at: imc-arizona-edit@lists.indymedia.org
This is serious stuff. If AZ IMC is being censored systematically then by whom and why?
Answers are needed pronto.

Word Salad is removed. Thats a good thing. Porn and commercial spam is also removed.
You don't like the IMC policies?
Start a blog
Sounds like GOP

What a nasty response!
Last comment sounds like GOP - don't like it start your own blog - that sort of extreme right wing thinking has no place on IMC.
We in the progressive movement call that exclusive.
I'm starting to wonder who has taken over AZ IMC -
Volunteer then

If you look at the hidden posts- almost all of what is hidden is spam, commercial or word salad.
There are a few articles that could be construed as anti-Muslim there as well that have been hidden.
A great deal of the anti-Israel spam remains- but theat is considered acceptable on an IMC.
