Are there any current ways to see deleted posts?
Back in the days of yore, there were blogspot blogs that had feeds of deleted posts and questions, which I found really helpful for resolving "wait...I swear something was here" kinds of moments, as well as having a fuller understanding of the kinds of things that get deleted and why. (This was NOT a record of deleted comments, which is a very different spicy meatball.) [more inside]
Deleted Posts Blogs
Strike that, reverse it?
Deleted posts can be flagged but not favorited. Shouldn't it be the other way around? [more inside]
Automatically indicate deleted comments?
We often see people in emotionally charged threads attempting to reply to comments that have already been deleted, which perpetuates unproductive fights and stresses out the mods even more. Might it help to provide some sort of automatic indication (that is, one that activates without having to refresh the page) that a comment has been deleted? For example, fading out the comment to a light gray, or whatever color would be appropriate given the active theme.
Are the 'deleted' blogs defunct?
The (as far as I know, unofficial) blogs for deleted MetaFilter posts and deleted AskMetafilter posts do not seem to get updated lately. Is something broken, or is something else going on? Does anyone know?
Purpose of Boxer Fly's
So http://ask.metafilter.com/249451/Wee-want-to-know just got posted and deleted.
It reminded me of this: http://ask.metafilter.com/40759/Why-is-the-opening-at-the-front-of-mens-briefs-still-there-if-its-rarely-used [more inside]
Why is the S.H.A.M.E. project blacklisted on mefi?
My post appeared to be deleted because a page consisting mainly of a bibliography of internet publications of a prolific author (subject multiple mefi fpps) documenting his connections with right-wing political activism and with critiques of selected quotations is "editorially undiscriminating" and people don't like it. Editorially undiscriminating? Is MeFi now "fair and balanced." It seems like we are only allowed to talk about politics when provoked by someone like Balko (in a fpp) but can't actually examine the politics of provocateurs on the internet.
First post got deleted
My very first post on Metafilter (about N. Korea) was just deleted! Bummer. [more inside]
Another crazy deletion
Sorry, but this is a dumb deletion, IMHO. A lot of people like Newsfilter type stuff, and those are almost always the most interesting and longest threads. This is big news in the sports community, and the deletion reason is just silly.
why was my question deleted?
I posted a question asking what tangible things I could do to improve the lives of people I love. Why was it deleted? [more inside]
Mormon temple ceremonies
I think other versions of this post linking to a video of Mormon temple ceremonies ought to stand if they're offered. [more inside]
Can I easily retrieve the HTML of a deleted post?
You tell me how to retrieve the HTML from a post that got deleted plz kthx? (I posted something on the front page last night, and it got deleted for too much personal commentary. I'm fine with that.) User Goofyy and deleting admin kaz suggested that I re-post sans commentary. This is moderation, it's not racism. So is there an easy way to get the HTML of my post back, or will I have to just re-type it all? [more inside]

Can we get notifications for deletions?
I would like to get memail notification of deleted comments which include the original text. [more inside]
The Lethal Thread of 117781
Can't for the life of me figure out why this was deleted. Perhaps a less cryptic reason would help because this one was totally not obvious.
Doubles of deleted doubles are also doubles
Hey, I just posted something that was deleted because it was a double. I didn't know it was a double because the original post that it doubled had a different link and keywords (I even searched, nothing came up, wish I'd thought to search for just "iron"). However, it was an exact copy of another double that did match the URL and keywords exactly. So, it seems to me, that when searching past posts in the "New Post" form, it should search through deleted posts as well, to avoid these "doubles of doubles" type situations. [more inside]

Moderator provoceteurs.
Why is video evidence of a police officer breaking the law not considered FPP worthy? Why, when subsequently posted (read: buried) in a thread two days old, 330+ comments large, and long-since derailed, is that post deleted as well?
I liked the Waffle House post.
Other-Linking
Is it kosher to repost someone else's self-link? [more inside]
Your post, "Gorbachev sings tractors: Turnip! Buttocks!" has been deleted....
mccarty.tim's latest project: Worst Post Ever is a "home version of the deleted post game." Bonus: See the red box of deletion in action! (Via Projects.) [more inside]
Where did my post go?
My contribution to a thread has disappeared. Why? [more inside]
PS: This Post Has Been BALEETED
Suggestion, not critical: perhaps a way to show that a post has been closed/deleted, in the style of the "X New Comments" update at the bottom of the thread? [more inside]
Shouldn't this deleted AskMe revived?
Disappeared into the Blue
Atlantis post vanished from the Blue? I'm running the Deleted Posts script, and I can see other deleted posts, but this one seems to have just disappeared. [more inside]
Did my post get deleted or is something weird going on?
I posted in this thread that I thought he should respond with, "Yeah, that's fucking bullshit, huh?" Did that get deleted? Is there a no profanity rule on mefi that I don't know about, or did I violate some other rule?
crackers
I'd probably want to sweep this booger-string of a deleted thread under the rug too if it was my site. But it's sort of sad to lose such a gold star collection of mefi members practicing the non-bigotry they preach, so if anyone lost a comment they're particularly proud of the deleting mod pretty much invited you to re-post it to the open thread here.
seeing deleted comments
So I was looking at this bizarre Metatalk thread and started to wonder: is there a way for me to see which of my comments have been deleted? [more inside]

why was my AskMeFi response deleted? [more inside]
What Links Just. Won't. Die!?
Per this comment, what sites/content/links are most frequently deleted on the Blue?
Well, my head's inside.
Can I repost a deleted FPP as an askmefi?
I posted a FPP that was rightfully deleted, however out of it was coming some interesting details about the topic and I'd like to learn more. Can I rephrase it as an ask mefi or is that bad form? [more inside]
wth?
deleted comments show up in side bar
I can see the favorites this comment has, and it shows up in my side bar because it was made by a contact, but the comment has been deleted.
greasemonkey scripts that try to track deleted comments?
The faq says there are greasemonkey scripts that try to track deleted comments. Is there anything working? I couldn't find anything following the link. The deletions here are so regular it's like using the internet from China.
Where did they go?
So when did lofi stop showing deleted posts? Is this a new feature or a temporary bug?
Thread deletion marker pony request
I can haz pony filter: Some sort of live marker of deleted posts, perhaps in live preview, would be really nice. [more inside]
Open All Nite!
Mass deletions? 79140, 79144, 79147 and 79149 are all showing as having been deleted but none of them are closed for comments or given a reason for closure. Is my Greasemonkey broken or is your Blue broken?

Censoring irony
My post, Project Censored as censors? was, ironically, deleted for reasons which have nothing to do with the posting guidelines. I complained and was asked to raise it here. [more inside]
cemetery gates
Although cortex callously and without hesitation deleted my fabulous single link youtube front page post, I still see it, albeit with a re: sidebar.
Is this a feature?
Is this a feature?
No one here but ghosts and odes to Dan Savage.
Disabled accounts show up in "nearby users." I clicked on this profile and then had to click on this username (because, WTF? Was santorum taken?). Well, to make matters slightly weirder, a search for santorum brings up the username and the user's "real" name, though it's no longer visible in the profile.
Where's my question?
I posted a question in AskMeFi and can't find it. What gives? [more inside]
Oh, come on
It's an interesting story in its own right. Its surface correspondence to the Palin rumors makes for a a good 'hook', which I used, but I don't think that makes the possible solving of a 260-year old mystery less interesting or worth reading about. The coincidence is amusing, but the post doesn't rest on that, and if anything it makes the post more fun. And it certainly doesn't belong in the existing Palin thread. [more inside]
Huge threads - can we make them smaller?
Re: the Bristol Palin pregnancy thread being deleted - uh, the other post in which it is being "discussed" is sort of inaccessible. [more inside]
Why deleted?
My answer deleted. Please explain why. [more inside]
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?
It's a shame a derail can get a good post on cervixen deleted.
Gee, man.
I would like to congratulate gman on the occasion of his thirteenth deleted post of 2008. Is this a record?
