rel="nofollow" in this day and age
Should there be an easy way to mark links as rel="nofollow" or otherwise indicate that they are not endorsements? [more inside]
Cracked.com is terrible and horrible.
Cracked.com's posts are SPLIT INTO TWO PAGES. Also, most of their posts are nothing but linkbate. Over 31 worthless FPP posts have been made linking to this waste of time. Thank goodness so many comments in the most recent "post" saw through their evil schemes! I say we reinstitute the previously-requested ban of anyone linking to cracked.com.
How Stuff Works: MeFi Spam
Dodgy link needs to go.
Why is the second link to this post still up? Several people have mentioned problems with it, including myself, yet the link still remains. Maybe I'm missing something here, but I think that the link should be axed since its absence won't really affect the rest of the post. Or is this just something that is allowed? [more inside]
It Is Time to Stop Linking to the Same Bloody Article.

Peddle Your Wares Elsewhere
I'm fairly certain that Matt has to approve posts in the Projects section, so I'm unsure of how this post made the cut. The user has only one other contribution from earlier today and it's related to the site he's pushing.
Spam!
Fabulous Edible Spam Creations
I was wondering if the powers that be had given any thought recently to perhaps raising the admission price for Projects. (You know, now that Metafilter rules Google and all...) [more inside]
Grantland Filter
With less than 2 months under it's belt... Grantland.com has been featured on the blue 14 times... is this product placement? Is this unprecedented? Do users of Grantland not get the concept of RSS feeds? [more inside]
Spam Bots on MeFi?
I spotted what's probably a spam bot posting around. Does MeFi get a lot of these? [more inside]
Is "vi@gra" in Italian still "vi@gra?"
I love the idea of this Ask post, but is there any way to modify some of the answers so this poor person/couple doesn't get spammed like crazy? [more inside]
Five bucks, same as downtown
I just got this nice Mefimail from a Mefite: i found you on meta. i am new here! your info caught my eye! you seem very unique and interesting to me. [more inside]
We refuse, you effuse
I don't know if this is to be celebrated or bemoaned, but a thread closed for self-promotion on Metafilter is now the second most popular link on reddit. [more inside]
SPAM
I just got an email using my metafilter user name that has been reproduced inside. Metafilter is the only site where I use this monkier, and I"m wondering exactly what the hell it is, and if anyone else has gotten it. It is called the "Living Life to the Full User Survey." [more inside]
MetaFilter: #1 in the Jewelry Category!
I have sometimes felt I haven't gotten my 'due' for being one of the MetaFilter Early Adopters (user #206). But not today. [more inside]

MeFi is not for Spam?
Not cool - using your MeFi account to harvest email addresses of people who you disagree with, so you can sign them up to mailing lists? That's gotta be out of order, right? [more inside]
HDMI Cables? Can I lift those with my pitchfork?
This post is distinctly spammy. The pleasure of answering questions and helping people in AskMeFi is the reward, not offers of free stuff.
I know the Sarah Palin thread has your attention but AskMe Spam Still Sucks
Spam from a MeFi user.
I don't know what the policy is on this but I just got this spam via MeFi email from someone I don't know or care to know:

suspicious questions?
Just thought I'd mention that I noticed a couple of questions in askme that all had to do with ferreting out techniques people use to get around spam filters and the like. [more inside]
Karnofsky alarm?
When the cat's away the mice will SPAM.
Can we please have an automatic deletion and/or penalty box for posts that get flagged for breaking guidelines by many users at times when no mod is online? [more inside]
Metafilter self-fashioning
Sorry, indeed, but what strange, elaborate spam.

Mmmm, honey-glazed spam

RTFA
Ban...
WTF, Wendell?
So Wendell apparently harvested a bunch of Mefite email addresses and sent a pointless message to all of them, and a herd of the recipients went off on a "reply all" binge with equally pointless replies. Now I have a mailbox full of crap. This is without a doubt the lamest, most wrong-headed bullshit move I have experienced here. Thanks for nothing, jerx.
Comment spam
Marketing plant?
This post might be a self-link with one level of indirection. It's certainly just marketing, regardless.
Smells Like Astroturfer
Is PreacherTom an astroturfer? He's made 13 posts to the blue, all in the past couple of months. And all 13 of them start with a link to Business Week. There's someone with the same name on Netscape.com's digg-esque site who does the same thing, and one on StumbleUpon, too. And that's not all. Am I being paranoid? Is this even worth frowning on, as long as they're all decent posts?
Shilling projects in askme
Egregious self-linking
And the award for most obvious self-linker goes to ...
I can't prove that this is a self link, but I'd be willing to bet money that it is.

Circumventing the one-week delay by posting to Projects
Can we keep the rule that n00bs can't post their first FPP on the same day they sign up? Especially when they are just trying to drive traffic to an escorts website?
Der Wiki is der spammed.

Mefi Wiki trashed by spam
It seems that the Metafilter Wiki @ http://www.mssv.net/wiki.cgi was taken over by Xanax online, which promptly trashed the whole place, the shitheads
Why isn't this considered spam and blackholed?
I don't get it. Why isn't this considered spam and blackholed?
Slightly spammy answer on AskMe.
In this AskMe, I am in agreement with the post that follows mine, as well as of course my own, though I didn't word it as bluntly as Rhomboid did, as I was sort of "typing as thinking". That said, the first response seems vaguely spammy. Full disclosure: I provide web hosting myself, and I still think the response is borderline inappropriate.
Its a trap? Interloquition regarding the inner workings of a perceived scam
They want someone with an American bank account.
So how does this scam work?

robots exclusion suggestion for deleted threads
Just a followup to the Optical4Less spam and the robots exclusion suggestion for deleted threads: deleted AskMefi threads still do not have the exclusion meta tag, so that Mefi spam there can still be indexed by search engines. Anyone else spotted any other loopholes spammers might have slipped through?
anyone else getting this spam which appears to be harvested from mefi profile pages?
Just curious. I got the following in my in-box, anyone else getting this spam which appears to be harvested from mefi profile pages?
...I saw that you had art related sites, but we know that this doesn't have much to do with poker. As such, we would like to work with you for text space on your Mefi profile. We see ourselves liking Mefi traffic and think you make good posts that can attract people to your profile....
Fools!!! They must not have read my FPPs, good posts indeed, pffft.

AOL Spam?
Anyone else been contacted by an AOL account in relation to "Robby Rob's Metafilter Post", with the sender claiming that he is having his thoughts controlled by the NSA? [more inside]
