"post it at metachat" is not a good reason for deletion November 23, 2006 12:01 AM   Subscribe

I'd like to suggest that "um, yeah, post it at metachat." is not a good reason for deletion. Metachat may be all about the stupid links but saying this smacks of snobbery. This was simply a poor post that didn't meet metafilter's editorial guidelines. It wasn't chatty in the slightest. Metachat is not your dumping ground. Can't we all just get along?

Now that may explain things.

But instead of being rightfully embarrassed I'm going to get all uppity and say this isn't the first time this has happened.

But errm, yes. Maybe embarrassment is the corrrect thing for me to be feeling right now.

is it too late now to say i meant to post to metachat?

If someone is actually so befuddled that they accidentally posted a thread to the wrong website, I think they need their keyboard taken away for a while.

This is the badness that happens when you monitor the deleted threads.

So metachat was all like, "I'm so over that metafilter for real lawl, what a scrub! Amirite!?"

But metachat kept driving past metafilter's house every night on its bicycle, saying it had to go meet a friend down the street at boingboing's place, but we all know that that friend didn't live at boingboing's place any more.

We told metachat that it was kind of creeping us out, but metachat was like "ZOMG WTF are you talking about metafilter is so gross I hate that guy he smells bad!"

Later that night, before we could stage our intervention, metachat downed a bottle of Robotussin and we had to have its stomach pumped.

We don't do that any more EXCEPT when the poster specifically says that's what they were going to do and, somehow, failed.

Lol: I think bardic won that one. Insert your favourite liquid streaming from nostrils snowclone here.
jessamyn: I didn't see the later comment and it was morning and I was a bit grumpier than usual, so out it came.

It was early in the morning and I hadn't had coffee yet.
