Oooh! I've got one!
I'll go first: How's this not chatfilter?
I guess some thought "something" was right with my post...
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. [more inside]
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?

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
Big Big Question: an unofficial chatfilter sanctuary experiment
I'd like to introduce Big Big Question, an experimental home for hypothetical chatfilter and other "big discussion" questions. [more inside]
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!"
Is this chatfilter?
Why is this question not chatfilter? I re-read the FAQ and the question seems to be the definition of chatty and open-ended. [more inside]
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.
Why did my question get deleted
For what reason did this get deleted? I am interested to hear informed peoples' explanations of the significance of Albert Schweitzer. I'm a little offended that my question got deleted, and with no posted reason. What's the deal, yo?
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.
Your Favorite Band/Album/Film/Book/Techie thing Sucks Filter
#1 Said.
Can we come to some consensus with MetaReviews and get something rolling? I'm not trying to be a pesterbuggy, especially in light of all of the cool new things going on here, but a nice MetaReviews/Recommends would be teh awesome!
(I'm posting this because I watched a film today that would probably be the first film that I would actually write about in more than a decade.)
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?
Horrific, but should go elsewhere.
Much as I think that this news story merits discussion, I can't help but feel like askme isn't the place for it. There isn't really an answer anyone can give.
ComicGeekChatfilter
It's a really interesting question though. (but it's chat)
I would like to participate in a disscussion about dumb, funny, or peculiar advice found in a self-help books. Oh, and I'll go first.
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.
Chat filter?
I read in a lot of Metatalk threads about this and that being "Chatfilter." So I looked around for this "Chatfilter" figuring it was just another section of Metafilter like "AskMeFi" or "MetaTalk". But it's not, it seems to be kind of a perjorative term for a lot of discussions that might prove interesting, but for one reason or another aren't appropriate for other sections of MeFi. So, uh, why not have a Chatfilter?
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?

Is this chatfilter?
Today's random-deletion gripe: this post was no more worthy of deletion than a bunch of other ones about human relationships.
What's the problem being solved here? Although it was asked in a chatfiltery way, the problem was clearly "The use of the word 'honey' has specific implications about the nature of a relationship for my boyfriend and I don't know why", with a side order of "is he a freak or am I?".
How is that different to some question about "how does dating work", for instance?

Just because philosophists don't get anything done...
Deleted?
This post was deleted for the following reason: chatfilter. What's the problem you're trying to solve again?
This isn't "chatfilter" this is an age-old question that could be served well by the hive-mind (community). Philosophical = Chatfilter?

Why was this question deleted?
why? I was looking forward to reading this one and had marked it as a favorite (as had others). Do we have to explain why we ask each and every question now?
