Calling someone a rapist on the sole basis of an accusation made to a reporter is wrong -- and could be libelous. The allegation against
Girls Gone Wild producer Joe Francis is horrible and contains a lot of persuasive details, but that doesn't mean it's true.

Does anyone else want
"this is fake" added as a reason on the flag-this-post form?

A what-makes-a-good-post question I'd like to see other MetaFilter dinosaurs answer along with me: What are the
best and
worst links you ever inflicted on the front page?

The
Pollo Campero discussion is a nice example of members drowning out
derailing attempts without resorting to MetaTalk (at least until I fucked it up by bringing it here). Would MetaFilter be better off without an etiquette/policy section in the gray?

A bad post to MetaFilter is something that meets the following criteria: there is nothing interesting about the content on the page, and I'm only posting it to let you know
how uninteresting it is.

Salon's feature on the porn chat-room vigilante site
Perverted Justice includes the lazy journalist's best friend: non-attributed man on the street quotes from
MetaFilter.

A minor nit, but it's misleading to use a
false anchor tag in a link, because
people will wrongly assume it's legitimate. The
Christian Science Monitor did not declare neoconservatives to be their enemies.

The host of the '70s Scientology primer that brought so much joy to
Metafilter and others is passing the hat for an
unexpected bandwidth bill: "~50,000 people saw the site, and given that I do not think it is crazy to assume that 210 of them (you) can donate a dollar (just one!) to my cause."

Alongside the gay wedding and anti-homophobia ads lured into the seductive clutches of the
Mark Foley story, there sits an ad for Texas Congressional candidate
Randy Neugebauer, a "committed pro-family, pro-life conservative who has a personal relationship with Jesus Christ." God bless Google's ad targeting algorithm.

If you're going to frame a link entirely in terms of how it
relates to MetaFilter, doesn't it belong in MetaTalk's MetaFilter-related category?

Metafilter is
too good at breaking news not to be used for that purpose. If there really is a consensus here that the number of news links is a bad thing, one solution would be to hold all new posts for a few hours after submission so people are forced to look elsewhere when big stories break.

The next time someone posts with glee about a criminal being subjected to violent penile colonization, turning the discussion immediately into a referendum on the subject of prison rape (
#1 #2), I hope that person has to spend quality pound-in-the-ass time in MetaTalk as rodii's bitch.

Feature idea: A
last 10 link after the comment count on each front-page post, which causes the thread to be loaded with only the last 10 comments visible.

Take a trip with me down the Riviera (

lot of needless verbiage.

If there were MetaFilter and MetaTalk RSS feeds that contained all of the information the front pages normally do, and we had permission to mirror them, it could take some server load off the site.

If you don't contribute front-page links, you probably haven't seen the
post a link page where Matt pleads with users to show some restraint with WTC links. Should he put it in a bigger font?

Since the large number of WTC threads is
pissing off our leader, why don't longtimers post related comments and links only in the first WTC thread of the day and let the others disappear from our consciousness as quickly as that
Live WTC tribute song?

Let it be resolved that from this point forward, all double post notifications must be handled
like you are stoned. Do I hear a second?

Feature request: A voluntary
Kuro5hin-style submission queue for links that you'd like to post, but aren't quite sure they are worthy of MetaFilter. (And, possibly, for self-links.)

Posted here to keep me from bringing it up on MetaFilter: If you're going to link to your
brother's page (
domain whois), admit it.

I'm not knocking the people who posted the threads, but does anyone else feel like
every online discussion about a death is really just an excuse for people to mourn their own future demise (complete with overstated praise for themselves and why-God-why lamenting)?

Of all the cheap rhetorical tactics employed here, I think my favorite is "you people are sick and this conversation is beneath me, so I'm not participating except to note this fact" (
#1,
#2,
#3,
#4).

Matt has said that a lot of the maintenance work he does is fixing HTML errors. Does anyone know of an easy way to run posts through an
HTML Validator and reject the ones that don't pass?

The issue of
posting too many links has cropped up again (84 links in 100 days, including 9 this week). Is there a point at which someone is contributing too much to MetaFilter, or is it irrelevant as long as they're good?

A "Post with Comment" feature, which enables you to post a link *and* the first comment in a thread at the same time.

In light of recent discussions about
hostility on MetaFilter, could it be helped by the ability to post a private message in a thread that disappears after a few weeks?
