But what has your mother done for you lately?
A reasonless What's-Your-Favorite
I'd like to post a "What's your favorite X" AskMe. I'm using it to find the one answer I need for a specific use (and I'd be happy to update about my project in the thread later), but I think talking about my use in advance would bias people toward a too-narrow set of responses. [more inside]
To memail or not to memail - that is the question.
What is the etiquette (or should be the etiquette) of memailing responses to individuals as a result of AskMe comments? [more inside]
Finding out which airline has this issue
Would this be an appropriate AskMe? If not, do you know an alternate way to pursue the info? (The "doctors can't be women" airline thing.) [more inside]
You have many questions, Mr. Sparkle.
I'm a prolific AskMe user, but I think I'm doing it wrong. [more inside]
Did you actually read the question?
It's not helpful to answer a question you haven't read. It's driving me nuts that people don't bother to understand what's being asked, what the situation is, or what the OP is actually saying. [more inside]
What is mefi etiquette, anyway?
Why was my comment deleted? [more inside]
Deceptive question
Offering one's services in an AskMe answer?
What is the etiquette for offering one's services as an answer to an AskMe seeking said services? [more inside]
Can we dial it down a notch in AskMe
How can we, as a community of individuals, learn to respond and behave better in AskMe threads like the one about the male colleague being "unwittingly pervy" at work? [more inside]
Alternative lifestyles are creepy, amirite?
A different kind of IANAL
Just like legal questions or medical questions, questions involving Roman Catholic canon law require a lot of specialized knowledge. That's become a real problem in this thread. [more inside]
But that's not what you said in 2007!
Checking through previous AskMe posts: proper etiquette? [more inside]
Rules of Relationship Filter
A few recent threads on MeTa have made me wonder, what's the stance on relationship filter questions in AskMe? [more inside]
AskMe Etiquette
Making recommendations against a physician or business on AskMe? [more inside]
Please take it easy
vegan nazi zealots omg
... Or maybe it's because you're being a dick and not answering the OP's question? Let's see, my post was deleted, so I will repost in a slightly less inflammatory but still not helpful way. Really?
!@#$%
Where did this come from???
- mount their female friends and some how continue to think they can commence with the mounting
- they should be at least decent enough to hit us off with a booty call every now and then, you know, as a thanks for the friendship
- bumping uglies, dropping trow and little debbie snake cakes
Apocalypse WOW!
It's just a question
How to respond to pushy barstards [more inside]
Misogyny Filter (?)
Misogyny Filter? : A question about condom usage is going down the death-spiral of comments relating more to the perceived misogyny of the answers than to actually answering the question. [more inside]
Ugh, all RIGHT, mom, I get it.
Why do people feel the need to post the same (obvious) advice other people have given, especially after the asker has already marked the best answer? [more inside]
Asked for X, got Y (where X equals help and Y equals grief)
Ordered X, got Y. Not only the title of the thread, but a good description of some of the answers received. [more inside]
Facts do not respect majority opinion.
Please resist the urge to "vote" your opinion in response to a question that has a definitive factual answer. [more inside]
AskMeFi: The Key to True Happiness
Is it wrong to call out a post that's trying to find happiness? [more inside]
Yeah, I got my answer, but fuck you.
AskMe vent: Is it just me, or does anyone else get frustrated when they answer questions and the asker never comes back to say "Hey, thanks, that's what I was looking for" or "That's not what I meant, but let me clarify" or never comes back to give feedback to the answers in any way? I'm not talking about "anonymous" askers who obviously can't follow up. I mean regular/mundane/normal questions whose askers never bother to respond at all. [more inside]
Nu?
I came home to see that my answer in this thread was deleted. Was it made clear that mediocre's horrible roommate is not actually a prostitute?
korean doctors = robbers?
Is it just me or is "Will the Korean doctor rob me blind??" a mildly racist way to start an AskMe post? [more inside]
why are racist questions allowed on netatalk
So it's cool to post racist and stereotypical trolls to ask.me now? When did the rules change?
This is not what AskMe is for.
Cultural Biases In Education
To what extent should teachers incorporate their own biases into their teaching of youngish children? To what extent does using goofy picture of people do so? [more inside]
Waiting is not an option.
Telling anonymous to wait to test when they have specifically requested pre-birth paternity testing methods does not "help in finding an answer". [more inside]
No snark here.
This post was flagged and the system worked as it usually does with cortex quite rightly deleting it. [more inside]
Nothing and Nthing
Whence Nthing? Isn't the word "seconding" meant to include multiple votes of support? Is this something peculiar to Ask Metafilter?
You are not helping anyone...please contribute beneficial comments.
Honestly, telling people that they should not be asking for help on AskMe is unproductive! [more inside]
offensive, sexist, NOT RACIST
I see that this AskMe post gratuitously compares a beautiful woman's face to a diseased rectum, distended with constipated feces. [more inside]
Where should this question go?
So, apparently AskMe is not the place for this question. Where should it have gone instead?
omg it's YOU!
Isn't is awfully rude to make a big deal out of non-anonymity in an AskMe thread? It's implying someone should be ashamed, isn't it?
[more than you wanted to know inside]
Oh, no, it was deleted and no one can tell
Is there any disincentive to posting crap comments in AskMe? Should there be?
HiveMind: Where's the door?
Bad day for posting here, but I'm miffed. How many chances do/should people get to drop insulting hurtful shits in AskMe threads of all places before they're just banned? I don't want to institute a talk nice policy, but being a dick to an OP looking for a psychiatrist or similar is, to me, a higher crime than just crayoning the walls, it's really demonstrating a bad fit here.
Submissive
You know, as the guy who has trouble pointing out that you just cut in line in front of him, I gotta say wtf davy? Is it that hard to imagine that there are people who actually are insufficiently assertive—problematically so—and that this may cause trouble with partners who don't feel they're 'manly' enough? The world doesn't view everyone the same way so it's a bit too much to ask that everyone refuse to project anything besides hesitant soppiness.
Ask the Moral Compass
A recent AskMeFi question:
Should I have this affair?.
Some responses:
Is there any personal honor left in this world? Have you no sense of decency?
Your tone is one of weakness
before you fuck up his life with your own selfish interests
Question 1: Why are some people in this community judgemental?
Question 2: Do people practice what they preach? Has anyone ever given advice that does not reflect the way that they themselves live their life?
OMG CHEATING!
This is why jokey answers are bad in AskMe.
It's not rape if you're a guy?
CLEANUP: to a rape victim in this AskMe. [mi]
Photograph this!
Fine, already. Here's a MeTa thread for all the derailing going on here.
Oh, not again! It gets worse every time he doesn't show!
I don't buy it
At least nobody has posted about gun control yet
Q: How do I get what I need from my husband to deal with some personal trauma?
A: I'd be angry with you for what you did because it was stupid.
Too much hate, too much judgment
Why are people being so judgmental in this AskMe question? Just because there is a celebrity connection? Other people like myself who have legitimate stories to share are being turned off by the sheer abrasiveness and lack of empathy displayed inside.
