Still wondering after all these years
What AskMe of yours are you still curious about? What was never resolved? [more inside]
High heels are a physiological disaster.
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. [more inside]
Malicious AskMe
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. [more inside]
Should I use the candlestick or the lead pipe?
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. [more inside]
Alternative lifestyles are creepy, amirite?
Fundamental conflicts
boys are like this and girls are like that
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?
I'm puzzled by an AskMe that I think is chatfilter.
I tag chatty questions and they almost always get deleted. Sometimes, though, I think a question is chatty but it doesn't. That's fine of course - I might just be wrong. [more inside]

Chatfilter deletion why?
Question deleted...not sure why? [more inside]
are medical questions above chatfilter?
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"?
You have got to me shitting me
Smells like Jessamyn Spirit
Barack Obama's initials are not a smell. [more inside]
Where's my question?
I posted a question in AskMeFi and can't find it. What gives? [more inside]
Mefi Suggestion Box
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?
Pompous bands do not make good questions.
Do Mefites get sick of eating Chatfilter?
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."
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?
AskMe Rescue - What are the disadvantages of being a man?

AskMeFi: The Key to True Happiness
Is it wrong to call out a post that's trying to find happiness? [more inside]
chatfilter?
This is chatfilter, AMIRITE folks?
Embrace this new feature, and take it to where it needs to go, where the world clamors for it to go -- OPTIONAL HYPOTHETICAL FILTER
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? [more inside]
The Infinity of Defining Chatfilter
So that interest doesn't flag...
"Chatfilter" is not one of the reasons included in the drop-down flagging menu on ask.me and I think it should be.
Can I ask you a question?
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."
What will we think about and why?
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. [more inside]
Is "weird" AskMe too chatty?
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)?
Are Questions Okay When They're Based Around Finction Worlds
Where should this question go?
So, apparently AskMe is not the place for this question. Where should it have gone instead?
No right name for that bucket of bolts
What makes this kind of ask.me post not chatfilter? There is no real answer to this kind of thing, it's just "hey, we got a new car, help us be cute!"
Question about deals: Bad deletion
How was the AskMe about "your favorite frugalities" chatfilter? Seemed like a legitimate question to me with some decent, interesting answers. Bad deletion.
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.
Zombies vs. bears vs. monkeys
This is a great question but it didn't include the obligatory "For the purposes of a work of fiction..." disclaimer to keep it from being deleted as hypothetical filter.
“I don't believe in astrology; I'm a Sagittarius and we're skeptical.”
I'm not snark-honing here, but... seriously? If it's not deletion-worthy due to general craziness, it's now just a chat.
Yeah, yeah, why do I care?
I'd really like to talk about this sleep question.
Absurd Questions, Hopefully Unabsurd Answers
Instead of continuously derailing the question about questions, we may as well move discussions of said-questions here.
Good stuff.
Tell me jokes!
What's your favorite simile about dumb people? Is this seriously not ChatFilter? It's a subjective question with a link in the post to a Google search with a ton of answers to choose from.
Government conspiracy / coverup?
Why did the "what would the scientific name for zombies?" question on AskMe disappear yesterday?

What Not Tot Post to AskMe II
In honour of the 1st, we're revisiting the "deliberately flameworthy hypothetical AskMe question thread" over at MetaChat. Feel free to join in with fake questions or answers.
Regarding philosophical AskMe questions
Regarding philosophical AskMe questions and answers to philosophical questions... [far too long for anyone to want to read]
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?
I don't care what you like
AskMe Guidelines: "If I like x, what will I also like?" Chatfilter or just supremely irritating? Or do I just have a pickle up my ass again?
what is chatfilter
So my question was shut down and this one isn't? I'm not asking for this one to be shut down, just an examination of policy, please.
Aren't these both hypotheticalfilter?
Simply because I've always been disappointed we never got to discuss this question, I'm going to go ahead and ask whether the same ban reason should apply to this one.
These two posts on "How to be good in relationships" are chatfilter
Again with the quick hook
Again with the quick hook on a chatfilter judgment call?
How is this spaying and neutering question not chatfilter?
Just curious:
How come the "Why are so many purported "animal lovers" pro-spaying/neutering?" askmefi wasn't deleted as chatfilter?
