I am surprised that the "are high heels sexist?" question was deleted as chatfilter, but the "what is 'female energy,' when it comes to cities?" question is staying up.

This question seems to be asking us to come up with the most malicious gossip we can think up about somebody the OP doesn't really know very well. I don't think this is something we should be aiding and abetting.

What are the sources in the MetaFilter community network where if its not an FPP, doesn't fit into any other category and I don't really feel like framing it as an AskMe, can I vent, chat with friends&Mefites, and deal with something on my mind, in general?

A MeFite with no previous history on the site
asked us to choose between (what many of us felt were) two rather bad choices based upon a potentially faulty assumption. Chatfilter ensues.

Here be a callout / question: Considering
this question and the
poster's history of chatfilter-esque questions, it leads me to wonder... can people get banned for extensive dubious use of Ask?

That's the
THIRD time I write an answer in the green and click on the close tab button.
No, it wasn't by mistake, I just thought better of it.
Is it me??!?
The last one was the one was a question by
Goodgrief ("Keep a name from a previous marriage?"). I realize the question is a
little chatfilterish, but I was going to post my opinion; like most others were doing.
Then, right as I was writing an answer, I thought... What if they don't like that answer? What if everybody thinks I'm a jerk for
spouting my opinion?
This has happened a little too much to be comfortable.

Couch in the Ladies' Room. Am I the only one who thinks a chatfilter thread devoted to stereotyping and generalizing men and women is a bad use of AskMe? I'm more troubled that it's such a popular thread. What am I missing?

Just curious and trying to understand the norms here: would
this ask me medical question be chatfilter if instead of asking for reader's reactions to a given medication, it had asked for something else, say, "your experience with going to Stanford"?

Cortex,
"weird" posts are now deleted? Where is that in the guidelines? Or, more specific, my "weird" posts are deleted, because I see weird posts on AskMeFi quite often that aren't deleted.

Obviously we all love Metafilter or we wouldn't be here posting and reading day after day... But, if there was one thing you could change/modify about your Metafilter experience, what would it be?

In the "Do chinese people get sick of eating chinese food?" AskMe discussion, which might have had a germ of a worthwhile idea behind it, the OPP has essentially come out and said
"my question is chatfilter."

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?

Matthew:
For a long time, I have been sad at the loss of HypotheticalFilter. When AskMe was young, such questions would arise. But those days are gone now, as the site matured.
It's simply not done, you'd say. It floods the page with nonsense. It makes the real questions get lost. Still, I thought, I want to know
how to dispose of a body, or
how long we'd survive without the sun. Who would win in a fight? A squirrel, or a squirrel's weight in ants?

"Chatfilter" is not one of the reasons included in the drop-down flagging menu on ask.me and I think it should be.

I propose that a new flag be added to AskMe posts: "OP has shown that he/she does not have a genuine interest in getting this question answered."

It's chatfilter because "major issues" is objective and undefinable, or if not undefinable, a distasteful acceptance of political groupthink. Well, anywho, it's standing, so let's put discussion here.

My 5 year old needs an answer to "What is the weirdest thing you've ever heard of?". Would this be considered chat-filter on AskMe (and therefore inappropriate)?
