If you don't like the post, at least tell me why.
What? Already. What are you people on about?
Can you be a more explicit in your sugestions for improving my post than just telling me it sucks? A hint, perhaps, to the nature of the suck, rather than just its degree?

Mefi detectives: over-zealous?
Must we really put on our Mefi detective caps for every single thread, now? They're not all airnxtz's, and this one appears genuine, despite the nature of the link.
comment in blue lacks context
Totally, totally different
It may be time for someone to get his own blog.
Not necessarily a callout, because I always find myself reading the religion posts even when I don't agree with them, but as doctor_negative points out in brownpau's latest thread it may be time for someone to get his own blog.
boy performing cunnilingus on cattle - NSFW!!
Can we please stop pandering to idiots. [more inside]
"If this story is to be believed, then it looks like I was wrong about my condemnation of Lindh"
Thanks to jperkins for taking the high road.
Let's stop these ad hominem-themed derails, ok?
Josh seeks a godly wife
Ok, I'll bite: Is a personal add (however mockable) a good FPP?
Why was this deleted?
I have to disagree. I thought things were just getting interesting. There was no name-calling or other objectionable activity going on, was there? What gives?
Why do these exist?
self-link trainwreck in progress
Err, self-link trainwreck in progress on the blue. Thanks, that is all.
Knowledge building over time.
An interesting aspect of the "filtration" on MetaFilter is chronological; and this aspect I think is often ignored, overlooked, or deprecated. [moronic inside]
Importing Blogroots threads into MetaFilter.
Would it be possible to import the old Blogroots threads into Metafilter proper, perhaps under the "blogroots" tag? Just for posterity's sake.
Reasons given for deletion in MeFi
Looks like we have blue-style deletion in the green now! Yay! That sort of feedback loop is a good thing. (Besides, I enjoy reading reasons for deletion.)
Combative and snarky - keep up the good work
"Capital and Stratification within Virtual Community: A Case Study of Metafilter.com"
After much discussion, debate and support, here my defended (and revised) thesis: "Capital and Stratification within Virtual Community: A Case Study of Metafilter.com". [mi]
A grand experiment in this phenomenon
Is y2karl's compulsive 'make huge extract, link and run' behaviour a grand experiment in this phenomenon?
Pony Request: Highlight 'fantastic comment' flagged posts like AskMe's 'best answers'
It's possible for an AskMeFi poster to mark responses as best answers. It's possible for anyone to flag an answer as a fantastic comment. Why not amalgamate the two and have all the top answers in one place? Then, why not highlight all comments flagged as fantastic in AskMeFi, MetaFilter and MetaTalk the way best answers are currently highlighted in AskMeFi?
MeFi Press mention: Washington Post

Missing logo on subsite
Why does stat.metafilter.com not load the logo, or other images associated with the header?

Cleanup on aisle 47857... Aw, to hell with it. I say we take off and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
Your typical callout
like the piece of shit, worthless fucking nobody you are. aw, somebody got a lump of coal in his stocking.
Please stop posting animal shitting images, thanks.

Will the search feature be coming back any time?
Ever since MeFi's search feature went away and it now lets you search google or yahoo, I'm having trouble finding past posts I'm looking for. Right now I'm looking for a post from within the last month or so where you could enter a URL into this website and it would give you a bunch of feedback on how good/bad it was, etc..
Will the search feature be coming back any time? Google/yahoo don't seem to order by date, and seem to mix in all sorts of stuff that clouds up my search. I loved being able to restrict my search to "within the last month", etc...

to put it on metafilter as a profound single-link post is ridiculous
"This is so obviously a retarded fabrication that to take it seriously is an admission of gullibility beyond measure, and to put it on metafilter as a profound single-link post is ridiculous."
Is this wiki mefi-related?
Is the website http://mssv.net/wiki.cgi?Home just a blog or is there some connection between it and metafilter? I was just getting more background info and this one seemed a tad OTT. Please don't tell me there's people praying towards SF.
P.S. The search option could be much better. Sorry Matt.

Metafilter census
I say we have an official MetaFilter census. It would be interesting to see where MeFites stand in terms of things like Race, Location, Religious Beliefs, etc. It would be entirely voluntary and anonymous of course. Any thoughts on this?
Can we get some moderation or is this just a free-for-all?
Too much of this discussion is noise and pathetic behavior. It is really difficult to have a discussion when several people seem more interested in directly insulting the poster. Can we get some moderation or is this just a free-for-all? (There is more inside).
Do you remember the book about coincidences?
I saw something in the blue, sometime in the last 6 months, which was maybe a book about "real" coincidences and at some point it stated the frequency with which they occur. I've googled and googled to no avail. Anyone remember this? One of them had to do with 9/11, I think, and one of them had to do with a guy in a motel room getting a phone call on misdial but it was actually intended for him or something and maybe saved someone's life?
GIF/PNG converter?
There was a post a few months ago about an online text to gif/png converter. I think it was deleted. Does anyone remember the address to that site?
"and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do"
Not that long ago (within the last month; two months at most) there was a link to a comment made by an advisor to the Bush administration that went somewhere along the lines of "we are the makers of history, and we will be judged by a future of our making." I can't find it. Does this ring a bell for anyone?

I've trained remedial ferrets to make better FPPs.
And linking to the same thing twice doesn't make it less crap.

links without learning HTML?
Apologies for what is most likely an extremely dumb question, but how do I create links within posted messages without resorting to HTML?
It's been a while since I posted and I remember there used to be a simple user interface to create hyperlinks, but now all I see in the posting area is a plain text-entry box.

Looking for old FPP on networked cameras
Need help finding an old FPP. New search feature not very helpful...
Don't copy the article, link to it
When y2karl quotes 4000 words of an article, it's really annoying. Just link to it. Thanks.
(via) format
I think the "(via)" cuteness is not as useful as "(via BoingBoing)", just to give a common example. Frequently, I'll think "is this the link I already saw, or another one on the same topic?" and having to actually mouseover to find out is just too strenuous.

Are silly threads allowed now?
Has there been a slight shift in policy?
The silly personality quiz and the infamous Mushroom post are both things I would have thought would have been flagged copiously and deleted, but they remain.
I am not having a hissy fit, and am perfectly willing to skip over or add to the stillness as I see fit.
This is just seeking some clarification as to if anything different is happening and can we expect more of the same.

Is this a bad time to talk about puppets?
Etiquette Question. Maybe a bad time to post this? [MI]
Illustrated architecture book post
Quite some time ago there was a FPP about a book, written in either Italian or Latin, that was heavily illustrated with fanstatic architecture that often had an erotic element. I've done several searches of the archives, but have come up blank. Does anyone else remember the post, or am I imagining it? Thanks
What makes a SLOE FPP BOTW?
Now that the SLOE FPP has been deemed acceptable, apparently, by the PTB, what makes a good one? What makes a bad one? What makes one mediocre? {Single-Link Op-Ed Front Page Post; Powers That Be}
One Line One Link Posts
When is a one-line FPP with no (or little) description appropriate for MeFi?
Oh really? Is that so? Well, is this a good example then [MI]?

Jonson posts awesome links
ATTENTION METATALK WARRIORS. THIS MAY BE A SHOCK TO YOUR SYSTEM - YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED: Jonson. You have been consistently posting exceedingly fine links for quite some time now.
This thread is for you.

If we go around the firewalls, they will just be made taller
If it becomes custom to repost articles to get around firewalls, then metafilter will be eventually be blocked by those firewalls. I don't really have another solution but I think that it might be good to find one.
Is it just me, or does this no longer exist?
Is it just me, or does the thread that contained the link to the British doc about White Phosphorous and MK-77 being used in Iraq no longer exist?
