Is this really an appropriate AskMe?
I thought AskMe questions about illegal activities were against the guidelines? Is vandalism not an illegal activity?
What's Acceptable on AskMe When It Comes to Crime?
AskMe Questions About Crimes [more inside]
Privacy or Criminal Activities?
It seems like there have been several questions lately about how to do things that make it easy to do illegal things or hide one's identity generally in a way that does not seem to have a legitimate purpose, or at the very least seems to only have a vague "I want to avoid harassment" or "I want to protect my privacy" purpose. What gives? [more inside]
Rolex! Five dollar!
I don't want to break the law, I'm just curious where I could go if I did.
AskMe: Hope me break the law!
Ask Metafilter: Help me become a professional shoplifter -- don't we have a guideline against helping people learn how to break the law via AskMe somewhere? Considering that repeat shoplifting is a felony, I think this would fall under that guideline.
illegal askme
"I forgot to mention that what I'm doing is not illegal and oh, I'm just asking for a friend anyways." (But it IS illegal.)
We give smoking advice to minors.
Too close to Arrrrrrr
Why is this thread still around? I know at least one admin has seen it, since my snarky response was removed. Is it now OK to ask for piracy how-to's?
Issues on sewing machine warez
I thought I'd clear up some of the issues raised in this (now closed - gee, thanks) Ask MeFi thread about sewing machine warez.
Aiding and abetting in AskMe.
Let's Discuss Marginally Illegal Questions
This is the kind of borderline/gray area/marginally illegal question I love to see in AskMe.
Dealing with illegal questions on AskMe
Do we need a note on the AskMe "post a question" page that says "Please don't ask for advice on how to do something illegal"?
Ok to ask about sneaking into Canada?
If you answer this question on sneaking into Canada you could be breaking Canadian law. The poster clearly wants to scam Citizenship and Immigration Canada, since when is this ok?
AskMe policy on dishonestly obtaining stuff
So questions about software piracy are not allowed, but discussions about other ways of dishonestly obtaining (discounts on) goods and services are OK? Seriously, where's the distinction?
Notification of need to cooperate with LEO?
I've noticed that many AskMe threads (like this one) dealing with potential crimes and/or civil suits could be subpoened as evidence if the right person connected the dots. Should there be a notice on the anonymous question page that Metafilter may be compelled by law to release the IP address of anonymous posters?
tsk tsk - askme and illegal activity
In this post about music downloading the subject of ask.metafilter questions being used for illegal means [+MI]
Grey areas in AskMe
The AskMe thread on faking one's death seems to skirt the same grey area as several of the deleted warez-related inquiries. Not to be a prude, of course -it's ust that curiousity like this could be bad for our ponies.
