What did Science! write here?

Woocha?
Woocha. Very quick on the draw
Awesome list of music videos nixed
You deleted my ASCII masterpiece!
I won't argue the removal of the ascii art, but it wasn't all that bad, was it? (RE)
I won't do it again, anyway.

deletion, why?!
Loudon Dreps: self-link, no. Friend-link, yes. Was this post deleted because it sucked, or because I know the guy? If both, I concede. If only because of association, is that transgression articulated somewhere? I couldn’t find it.
Callout of a user's antics in imminently deleted double
Shouldn't Matt and Jess be the ones who decide which posts are deleted?
Why was my post removed?
Why did my post at AskMeFi about iTunes 7 get removed minutes after I posted it?
Offensive gif in Askme thread
This kind of thing should result in an instaban.
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?
Do you guys have JOBS?!
Hampster dance dupe deleted
"hampster dance" just got deleted. it did look (after 17 comments) as though it was about to spiral seriously out of control, but matt could have at least waited an hour or two.. ok, fine, i'll go read about the military coup in thailand.
OK, it was a link to a google search, but why delete??
Itchy trigger finger? I liked that post, and it seems like everyone else who posted did too -- no-one seemed to be snarking or complaining or asking for it to go. Sure, it's a link to a Google search, but an interesting one I hadn't thought of before. It was headed for a fun interweb memories thread... but then it was tragically taken from us. As an official Metafilter King, I would urge you to reconsider.
Bush sucks, deleted
What happened to the thread on the Presidential speech?..
Quick, someone give this Safety Patrol Officer a gold star!

Searching for Deleted Posts
Dare I ask this but due to the deleted post in this MeFi post being so damn funny I'm wondering if there's a way to search for just deleted posts on MeFi?
Can anyone help me understand why this post was deleted?
Can anyone help me understand why this post was deleted? The admin note was a little cryptic (no offense). I've read the FAQ, as far as I can tell it doesn't fall under self linking, although it could perhaps kind of be considered a double posting or re-posting as it were. Anyway, it was a post I enjoyed originally, and I just wanted to point out to people that it was working again - didn't want to piss anybody off. Maybe stuff from MeFi Projects isn't supposed to be posted in the blue? Any input is appreciated.

Why was this post deleted? The asker seemed like he had a legitimate question, and some interesting answers were surfacing.
Tags For Deleted Posts Need To Be Deleted
It would seem to me that a deleted post with tags would be more useful than a tag that hasn't any posts. [example] (if the tags hadn't been deleted). Why aren't all deleted posts purged of tags [example] so that search results are less questionable?
Posted yesterday?
In an attempt to be a better MeFier, I have a question about this post
I cannot find anything remotely similar to this one posted yesterday or any other day...
Can you point me in the right direction..??

tag count in askme pages inaccurate
some index pages of askme posts with NSFW tags report that there are more posts than are returned. [more inside]
AskMe posts deleted, not discussed
Some posts to AskMe about tailgating and driving etiquette were deleted from this thread. Discuss amongst yourselves...
Where can I discuss this topic that was deleted?
Okey fine. Then where? Is there some place on the web where DrawBall is being discussed?
AskMe broad enough for a chatfilter to fall into it
This AskMe post is poorly worded and excessively broad.
Trying to kill the meme
Commenting on Deleted Threads
PieInTheSky Feature Request: The ability to add comments to deleted threads. Please? Think of all the fun we could have!
Deleted comments immediately reposted
I think it's a violation of the spirt of AskMe to repost derailing comments immediately after they've been deleted.
Tell us when TSA actually finds something...
Is there anything that makes this post good? (mi)
hidden deleted stuff
"Matt could simply change the font color to match the background color of the page, so if you wanted to read [a deleted comment] you'd have to highlight it, like spoilers on a movie review page. That would be awesome." This is an idea so good, it gets its own thread.
Historical engineering
If the admins are going to delete comments then at least delete any responses to those comments and the collateral damage. It has more finesse, although I guess it would take more time, but that's the price of historical engineering. Yes, it was my comment that was deleted. That's fine, I don't mind that at all, and I'm sorry for the mess.
Chatfilter or Not?
I assume this question was deleted for being chatty, but what if it had been: "Can you name some scenes in film that feature popular songs where the on-screen characters actually sing along or otherwise interact with the music? I'm putting them together for a project etc etc....". Is everything on AskMe a "problem" looking for a solution?
Political discussion on Metafilter
Is there a section of MetaFilter that allows political discussion?
The only two comments I've posted were deleted. The first was archived because I used the same link as another person, but I had a completely opposite take. That was my point in using that same link. My post was political and critical of the Bush administration's actions in the New Orleans flood.
The one I posted today asked if the Bush administration is the most corrupt in government in our history or simply the most corrupt in modern times. I posted a link that explored that very question. Six quick comments, then boom The thought was silenced.
There was a mention, I presume by the editor, of the axe to grind filter being two doors down. I wasn't sure if there really is a place where political discussion is welcome, or if this was a way of saying political discussion isn't proper policy here.

Deleted AskMe posts still add up to my tag count
Deleted AskMe posts still add up to my tag count. Bug, feature, or menace to the community? [more inside]
Totally, totally different
Greasemonkey Consistency
Question about deleted threads (not one I created or want to whine about though, I promise!).
I've got a greasemonkey script that shows links to the deleted posts in the style of (for example) "Deleted thread: 48604". Most of these links are valid and show the threads, but some go to a page that says the thread was deleted. Why the two different results?

Dead MeFi threads
How and under what circumstances do MeFi threads die or become deleted?
Perhaps this is an FAQ and someone can point out an existing answer, but a week or so ago, I posted a comment on a thread I found on the front page, and about an hour later found to be missing from the front page.
There is still a link to the thread in my personal comment history, but it seems otherwise publicly inaccessible.
Also, many of the comments in the thread indicated that the posters fully expected the thread to be deleted and that they were jockeying for "last post".
I've read most if not all the introductory matter here, but I don't remember seeing anything that covered this.

MeFi admin double standard for posts?
At the same time that mathowie posts a site hosting game ROMs from the 1980s, my link to a BitTorrent file of a 1950s and -60s recording of a 19th century classical work was removed. Funny ol' world...
Why was my AskMe answer to the BSDM bottom/top question deleted?
Why was my comment in this thread deleted?

bookmarklet requested for askme
Paging whoever did the "detect deleted metafilter threads" bookmark: now that askme threads are being deleted, how about one for them?
Where do deleted comments go?
Mommy, where do deleted comments go after they're deleted?
Inciting a felony?
Ask.MetaFelony? Posts like this one seem to be Ask.Metafilter assisting someone to commit a felony. I know we have recently seen other criminally-related Ask.Me posts deleted, so why is this one allowed to stand?
Poor Deletion?
This post shouldn't have been deleted; while the first blog link had been posted before, the other material hadn't. And it was entertaining.
deleted askme still visible
This deleted Ask MeFi question still shows up on the front page of Ask MeFi.
Why was the candy bar question deleted?
So why was the AskMe thread "must I eat the whole candy bar" deleted?
Maybe they didn't hear you the first time it was deleted
What do you do when you post condescending noise in an Axme and it gets deleted? Post it again in essentially the same form, of course. But wait! Don't forget to act indignant for maximum effect. [mi]
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?
os flame war
What's the deal with the title of this post? It doesn't look like it has anything to do with the thread. Is it an odd attempt at self-promotion of some sort?
Deletion Day
Self-Link Deletion
Can you get a post deleted because it is already posted on your own site? even though the post has good info and had a conversation started? post in question http://www.metafilter.com/mefi/45943
