Where's my question?
I posted a question in AskMeFi and can't find it. What gives? [more inside]
Why deleted?
My answer deleted. Please explain why. [more inside]
metaask
I asked a question and many of the responses were that I am "biased." Is a judgement of character a prerequisite for answering a question?
No snark here.
This post was flagged and the system worked as it usually does with cortex quite rightly deleting it. [more inside]
Why was my reply to post 78716 removed?
Why was my reply to post 78716 removed? All I did was complete the quotation used by the original poster. It was from the Young Ones TV program. I really am not a fan of censorship, and AksMefi is not where I expect to encounter it. [more inside]
Deleted questions are showing up in intermittent fashion, and that is shaking me to my core. Won't you help?
Dumb, probably-asked-before question about deleted questions. [more inside]
Wanted: better jerk skills.
where's the gift list?
There was a list in the last few weeks of a bunch of weird places to get christmas gifts. One was the american science supply and the author commented that a similar list was put up last year. Searching metafilter and ask metafilter has proven fruitless. Can someone get me back to the post? thanks.
please don't kill the thread while i'm replying
i imagine that kelvin-helmholtz is so long because there's some kind of balance related to radiation pressure (vaguely vaguely like eddington limit?) but i may be way off - never thought about it before. if it is radiative pressure (or anything related to being hot) that holds things up that means that you'll still get an initial collapse and ignition. so i think initial "inner" thermal equilibrium will be much faster, but final steady state could take a long time.
and why on earth (or sun) is this chatfilter? delete the stupid answers, not the question. i realise it's not one of your valued "what stupid piece of crap for my kitchen should i waste money on today because i can't cook for shit but boy i know how to use my credit card like a pro?" questions, but it still has a valid answer.
Delegation
Strangely, my answer to this ridiculous question was favorited 17 times, then deleted. The answer was sincere, if not hyperbolic. Should I just email the admins directly next time I disagree with what I perceive to be out of control heavy-handed decimation? Thanks.
whatever, techsters
Was there really a good reason why every post in this AskMe thread was deleted? Looking at the question, it looked as though the poster was looking for A) good tech news sites and B) whether it would be worth it to start one. Not my fault it turned into a fight.
Admins, please help!
Help!
a question I asked yesterday on ask.metafilter disappeared. I received no message from admin about it. I looked both in my recent activity and on the questions posted yesterday.
Yet I am not allowed to post another question for a week. My question was not inappropriate in any way and I should have been contacted if it was. I demand the question restored (it was: tips on looking for a new job while currently employed) or to have the right to post another question immediately.
I also emailed this via the contact form.
AskMeFi comment deleted?
I've never posted a thread on MetaTalk before, so don't really know if this is the right way to go about it, but a comment of mine in the recent discussion on AskMeFi about plagiarism was deleted for reasons I can't really deduce. I did call out a few academics who were harping in the thread with their noses turned up but I wasn't calling names or slinging insults, so I'm a bit confused as to why my post was deleted.
And it certainly added to the conversation as it was quoted and responded to by another poster who disagreed with me. Any admin help here?
Oh, please.
This was definitely not chatfilter!
This was definitely not chatfilter! I am working on putting together a class about good and bad "radical" radio and want some listener opinion besides my own. Can we reinstate the question, please?
Let me google that for you
Should questions like this be deleted?
Were these posts deleted?
Did posts from the askmefi queue thing get deleted? I just noticed a post I was going to look back at later wasn't there, it was posted through the ask mefi queue thing posted to projects a few days ago.
Any hints?

Save My Deleted AskMe
I'm guessing the chances are pretty slim, but I would like to see about getting one of my questions on ask. un-deleted.
I posted This question last night, and woke up this morning to see it was deleted. For this reason "doesn't sound like any problem to be solved, rather some idle 'what if' curiosity"
I've never had one deleted, and I feel it does not violate any of the things mentioned in the FAQ. To quote the FAQ:
Put another way "...if your motivation for asking the question is 'I would like to participate in a discussion about X,' then you shouldn't be doing it in AskMe. If your motivation is 'I would like others to explain X to me,' then you're probably OK."
I was simply interested in how the physics of it worked, and what would happen. I only posted once in my own thread, and that was to answer a question about thresholds.

Deleted AskMe trying to identify a painting via email
Earlier on AskMefi there was a question from "siahny" asking to identify a painting via email. I've got the picture (which is a Word document). The thread seems to be deleted, but should I post it up anyway? She really does want the painting identified...
Woocha?
Woocha. Very quick on the draw
Offensive gif in Askme thread
This kind of thing should result in an instaban.
Why was this question deleted?
why? I was looking forward to reading this one and had marked it as a favorite (as had others). Do we have to explain why we ask each and every question now?
Do you guys have JOBS?!
Why was this post deleted?
Why was this post deleted? The asker seemed like he had a legitimate question, and some interesting answers were surfacing.
AskMe posts deleted, not discussed
Some posts to AskMe about tailgating and driving etiquette were deleted from this thread. Discuss amongst yourselves...
AskMe broad enough for a chatfilter to fall into it
This AskMe post is poorly worded and excessively broad.
Deleted comments immediately reposted
I think it's a violation of the spirt of AskMe to repost derailing comments immediately after they've been deleted.
Chatfilter or Not?
I assume this question was deleted for being chatty, but what if it had been: "Can you name some scenes in film that feature popular songs where the on-screen characters actually sing along or otherwise interact with the music? I'm putting them together for a project etc etc....". Is everything on AskMe a "problem" looking for a solution?
Why was my AskMe answer to the BSDM bottom/top question deleted?
Why was my comment in this thread deleted?
bookmarklet requested for askme
Paging whoever did the "detect deleted metafilter threads" bookmark: now that askme threads are being deleted, how about one for them?
deleted askme still visible
This deleted Ask MeFi question still shows up on the front page of Ask MeFi.
Why was the candy bar question deleted?
So why was the AskMe thread "must I eat the whole candy bar" deleted?
Maybe they didn't hear you the first time it was deleted
What do you do when you post condescending noise in an Axme and it gets deleted? Post it again in essentially the same form, of course. But wait! Don't forget to act indignant for maximum effect. [mi]
Deletion Day
Yes or No?
I don't understand this AskMe question
I don't understand. But then again, this is some pretty heady stuff and I'm a simple man. [I wanted to flag it but apparently you can't flag AskMe posts]
Where'd that comment go?
I could have sworn that somebody posted a link as a response to my question. Now that I have time to actually check it out, though, the link is gone. What gives? Bug? Gratuitous moderation? Anyone know what the link was?
Deleted AskMe comment?
Anyone else having their comments deleted in AskMe threads? My comment in this thread was deleted as well as my answer in another recent thread. What gives? Am I just not that helpful?
Why Was I Deleted?
I posted a question to Ask Metafilter this morning, and it just vanished. What went wrong?
Anybody have a good story?
Lost & Found
I'm confused by this Ask Mefi question and just as confused by the "best" answers. Although a question is asked in the first sentence, the focus of the post is to use Ask Mefi as some sort of artsy fartsy lost and found.
Thank you, Matt
I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank Matt for deleting the Invisibility/Flight thread in Ask.Me
Adding a question mark doesn't make a legit AskMe
I don't care if it is phrased in the form of a question. Using AskMe to get in a second post because you "already shot [your] wad today with a different MeFi front page post and thought this merited a posting" is just not on.
"Thanks" is not a question
ThanksAskMe: Can we just assume we're all thankful for the bounties of AskMe, without posting there to that effect?
hope him, admins
filmgeek seems to want to do the right thing here, but he needs admin hope to do it.
Trolling AskMe
We can discuss politics in AskMe, but we cannot joke about it
