This is a two parter. One: there's a disparity in behavior between the search box on the bottom and top of Ask. Two, why isn't 'recent activity' set to nofollow like profile pages?

I've submitted this to Projects since I think the issue has nation-wide interest, but I also wanted to shout out to the Baltimore & D.C. area mefites whose backyard this is happening in and invite you all to come along. If you haven't been following
the Silver Spring photo debacle covered by the
Washington Post,
DCist,
DC Metblogs (disclosure: that's me) and others, you might not be aware of
our planned gathering on July 4th.
We've scheduled it at Noon so you still have time to leave and head off to whatever BBQs and fireworks watching you have planned for the evening and the location is just two blocks from the Silver Spring metro.

Jonathan Coulton is appearing at the
Warehouse Theater in DC on Monday Sep 18th. Given that
a number of us seem to be fond of him, anyone interested in meeting up before/after the show? I'm going with or without you clowns but I'm always happy to wander down the street to RFD for a drink...

This post was deleted for the following reason: what a mess
So that's the barometer now for
thread deletion? It doesn't have a clear purpose, goal, or problem to be solved, is too chatty OR there's enough douchebags misbehaving in it?
This precedent sucks.

I didn't want to derail
this AskMe with this, so I clipped what I wrote there about drug testing and am posting it here. [more inside]

In another thread
caddis said "Beth, is Matt going somewhere? I would guess that if a meteor dropped on his head tomorrow, MetaFilter would just fade into history." and it made me curious. Now that MetaFilter is a full-time job and presumably a corporation which Matt would leave to someone,
is there some sort of "if I get hit by a bus" plan? [mi]

This thread is a disaster. It has such a long pissing match in it that advances nothing that I simply cannot see going click-click-click all the way through the noise to flag each off-topic post. I feel like I need a button for "there's so many violating posts in this thread I cannot possibly flag them all individually and still have time for 3 squares and 8 hours of sleep in a day." [mi]

On any given week there's someone pissing about the degeneration of quality or civility on MetaFilter/the Internet/the World. As far as I'm concerned if there's
one post like this for every 10,000 assclown postings I will still consider there to be more signal than noise. Thanks to you, paulsc, and every other person who's contributed their personal story on AskMe and made my life richer in doing so. There have been many.

So when is unhelpful okay and when is it not?
This thread is a lot of fun, but it's also a lot of noise. I assume nobody cares because it's kind of a goofy question, but I think it raises the issue of when is unhelpful okay in AskMe and when isn't it? [more inside]
