I bet you have a very funny reply to this topic that involves an emoticon
Is it just me, or are more people using emoticons in comments than a year or so ago? [more inside]
Text not "MeFi" enough?!
Regarding this post, which was deleted. "This is the sort of thing you need to write a more MeFi-like post for."
Well, considering that the text of the headline I used is very similar -- if anything, less graphic -- than the headline of the article I linked to, with much of the text is taken verbatim from the memo, with additional information accurately presented, can I get a clarification on how this isn't written in a Me-fi enough way, please?!
OK to post link to conference video I produced?
A video pertinent to a MeFi post came from a conference I run. Can I post it? [more inside]
newsfiltering
newsfilter. don't we have an unspoken rule in these cases to let a couple days pass until a full FPP can be created?
Nope, looks like that rule is not only unspoken, but unenforced and generally unthought of. One might even describe it as non-existent.
I would like clarification on this aspect please. The first sentence is mine. [more inside]

Seriously, take a walk.
These comments, to me, are over the top and not worthy of MetaFilter. From this thread. [more inside]
Is a little context too much to ask for?
Redditfilter
I'm seeing Reddit stuff being posted as FPPs on a daily basis. Nothing wrong with Reddit, it's awesome, but I don't get why Reddit is never given any credit. I think giving credit is one of those things that makes Metafilter a nice place and it makes it possible to follow the related Reddit discussion. [more inside]
Apologies to the sensitive neckbeards out there.

What is mefi etiquette, anyway?

Deceptive question
Ow! You broke MettaFiltter!

Can we dial it down a notch in AskMe

I'm a Ask MeFi Question Fail How Can I Change This?
I have posted eight questions total on AskMetafilter and two were immediatly deleted (a 25% fail rate!). I read the FAQs and the questions that were deleted didn't fit into the "what not to post" arena, they weren't rude or anything. One was is X legal and the other was adventurous ideas for a family. How do I know what questions are appropriate to ask?
Identifying a poster on another site
Does this kind of thing violate the prohibition on bringing a poster's personal details into a thread? [more inside]
Meta-Etiquette?
I recently posted an AskMe which received no responses. I realize (and knew at the time), the question I asked was quite narrow and didn't expect many responses (it had to do with an esoteric business management theory). So no responses doesn't really surprise me. Yet 5 users marked it as a favorite. I'm interested in finding out why people marked it as a favorite. Is it acceptable MeTa-quette to MeFi-mail them and ask if they're willing to share why they favorited it?
Delta loses dog.
I can see Cortex's point in deeming my FPP about Delta airlines losing a dog as thin. But I was hoping that a MeFite local to Mexico City might have some suggestions about findings the dog. Delta claim that it escaped. Isn't it worth leaving the post, to have suggestions about locating it? Perhaps I should have made this clearer in my post?
Alternative lifestyles are creepy, amirite?

A MetaFilter Hug a day keeps teh doctor away. A shout out to MeFi's own Cortex. [more inside]
A different kind of IANAL
Just like legal questions or medical questions, questions involving Roman Catholic canon law require a lot of specialized knowledge. That's become a real problem in this thread. [more inside]
Because fighting about Catholics has gotten old
Where's the line drawn on public figures and privacy?
In this thread, regarding the attacks and vandalism on Democratic Party offices nationwide, I requested a photograph of Mike Vanderboegh, the Tea Party activist who has been in the news for inciting these attacks. He has been discussed widely in mainstream media. When I asked if there were any photos of Vanderboegh, cortex said "can we please not do this" and jessamyn asked me to take it to MetaTalk if I had a problem with it. [more inside]

Not friendly, brother
Telling people to fuck off is not very nice.
seething homophobia. seething.
In the recent thread on the pitfalls of writing realistic LGBT characters, I stated how I didn't feel the "predatory gay man" trope was completely out of line given how I had encountered such people in real life. Great nastiness ensued. [more inside]

Is it OK to bring up someone's meta-history?
When, if ever, is it appropriate to bring up someone's past posts or comments? Does the etiquette vary by subsite (green/blue/gray)? This isn't a callout; I just haven't seen it discussed here.
Burn jokes? Seriously? Did Fark buy Metafilter?
"[many comments removed - can we try it again without knee jerk mormon and burn victim jokes, please? MetaTalk is your option.]" AARGH! [more inside]
