Why'd you delete my post?

January 9, 2003 9:51 PM

"This post was deleted for the following reason: I am r00t. ph34r m3 luz3r. you're p0st suxx0rs. you R 0wnzered." I know I'm new to metafilter, but since when is there an 31337 club you have to be in to post to teh front page? I thought that was a mondo excellent link and I think you do the metafiller community a gr8 disservice by d3l33ting it.

Therein lies your problem. l33t speak on the Front Page gets short shrift.

I am r00t. Heh. I think I'm going to start bellowing that at random when I've had a few, just to keep the neighbours on their toes.

If your post is incoherent, which it certainly appeared to be, then, yeah, its going to get deleted. If you're going to post, then you kind of need to follow certain guidelines.

And you say that you're just "bing who i m". Huh? So you're someone who can't spell? Is that what you're trying to get across to us?

I am pleased to see the implementation of the "This post was deleted because:...." thing, though. More work upfront for he who is r00t, perhaps, but hopefully it'll pay off in the longterm.

Sorry guys I just wanted to troll you all a little before I go to bed. I am very good at trolling, maybe you noticed.

That having been said, it was a great link.

Stavros, you of all people should know that. Your should be enshamed of yourselfe.

Wait do I get to post again after a post has been del33ted or what's the deal? I bet I can't.

It's just my roommate has this band called Nitrous rOxide and they're geocities page just went up and I think you all should see it.

I think someone needs a time out.
posted by bshort at 10:37 PM on January 9, 2003

Two words, kettle:

Peace out!
posted by Ufez Jones at 10:43 PM on January 9, 2003

...and a time out they've gotten. When I said ph34r m3, I meant it.

Thanks, Matt. I was beginning to fear for the life of the next innocent duck I come across. (Must...not...strangle...waterfowl...)

The Mighty Hand of Justice™ (a.k.a. mathowie) is just and fair.

Greatest description of why a post was deleted ever.

I mean Fucking. E.V.E.R.!!!

I've been laughing for 3 full minutes now (although it was funnier before I looked at the post and realized it was in haxor speak too).

Still, my hat is off to ya mathowie.

This "trolling" thing of which you speak, is it hard to do? I am very good at chewing gum, myself.

A) Seriously. Funniest post deletion reason EVER!
B) So, I'm almost feeling sorry for the poor bastard; did you permadelete his account, or just temporarily give him a "time out", as indicated? Cause other than being a little over excited in this thread, he didn't really seem like he was detrimental to Mefi as a whole...

And I fucking defended that guy! Jesus, now I'm an ass for trying to stick up for the little guy. Ok from now on there is no MetaLynching that I'm not too good for.

Same here. [sigh] And I love the way he tries to defend himself. "I really am a total dork. What? Is that a problem?"

Gr8 mondo excellent post d3l33te.

Does Kettle remind anyone else of, maybe, clavdivs having goofy fun under an alias? (No offense, clavdivs.)

I know this is a really stupid question, but would some poor soul take pity and explain to me what these letter/number juxtapositions are all about?
