So, do you admins ever flag posts?
posted to MetaTalk by Citizen Premier at 3:27 AM on May 7, 2008

While I hate to admit to visiting there, I first saw this on /b/ of fourchan months ago. It's really just an internet shocker. I really don't see how anyone is entertained, educated or edified by this post in any way.

If you flag this post as offensive I won't take a shit on your mom's face.

Yeah I guess that wasn't very clear. Hmm. Trepidly is a word, by the way. I was trying to ask if questions such as "what are some good cooking websites?" are alright. 111 posts later, is there an answer?
posted to MetaTalk by Citizen Premier at 5:48 PM on January 9, 2008

I don't think I can make this any more clearer. If the AskMeFi post is of the kind which feature predominantly comments whose very theses espouse links rather than advice, will it be accepted into the community--as a full-lived post--and thusly not expurgated whenceforth into the static Mefi aether?

Sorry, I didn't realize my question had been answered. I guess I should have assumed it was, since every other possible question was answered, as well.

Cool. This is my story.

Gosh, I'm stuck at #854... anyone figure it out?

This is pretty cool.

(Ggod damn. Am I really that insipid?)

"I don't believe the SCOTUS's 'undue burden' test is the wrong way countless times). Things is, parallax, there is of course tension between freedom and human dignity, not some third-world shithole. And Human rights are held in areas with high annual insolation %s.

I was struck by the administration, was equallly criminal. 2000+ KIA is a crap way to attract capital to labor. 4.

There is no room on Metafilter for fun. Why do you think MetaTalk, the Meta of Metafilter, is grey?
posted to MetaTalk by Citizen Premier at 10:43 PM on September 10, 2007

I think I just need to develop more faith in jessamyn and mathowie, that they won't let Metafilter turn into an internet cesspool. It's just, you know, I care about Metafilter, and I worry when I think I see signs of trouble. I criticize because I love.

C'mon guys, there's three moderators, you can't expect me to remember all their names off the top of my head, can you?
posted to MetaTalk by Citizen Premier at 9:01 AM on September 3, 2007

Why can't we just delete all threads and ban all members? Then everyone will be happy!
posted to MetaTalk by Citizen Premier at 10:08 PM on July 30, 2007

Great, now there's a blink tag on Metafilter FP. SEE WHAT YOU'VE DONE?
posted to MetaTalk by Citizen Premier at 4:03 PM on June 16, 2007

I used to think the flagging option, "Fantastic Post," meant the post was fantastical and as such didn't belong on Metafilter. Do you think maybe you could change that for stupid people like me?

This is your right, that's your left. This is your right, that's your right. This is your left, that's your right, this is your right, now you're gunna die.

Reambulatory Homophage Syndrome. Or simply "Zombiism."

If no disease-causing particle has been found, then you are forced to refer to it by its symptoms. Home Romerus is awesome, sure, but we have to be scientific.
posted to MetaTalk by Citizen Premier at 10:55 AM on May 17, 2007

Homo Romerus refers to a member of the Homo genus whose defining characteristic is roaming. Except it isn't spelled that way for some reason. Of course this is wholly unscientific, because zombies aren't a different species of human, they're just a... lifestyle choice.

I think we could use a little snippet, something like

In my view of the universe, favorites are a kudo service which only exists to help cut down the number of LOLs.
posted to MetaTalk by Citizen Premier at 6:05 PM on May 7, 2007

Also, one of my comments got 31 favorites! AM I POPULAR OR WHAT?
posted to MetaTalk by Citizen Premier at 6:07 PM on May 7, 2007

NO SERIOUSLY AM I POPULAR? I NEED TO KNOW NOW!
posted to MetaTalk by Citizen Premier at 6:08 PM on May 7, 2007

GUYS I'M ONLY 1 AWAY FROM HAVING 100 FAVORITES! LET'S CELEBRATE!



...guys?
posted to MetaTalk by Citizen Premier at 3:05 AM on May 8, 2007

Well, I'm interested. Half my Creative Writing class just wrote stories about how great pot and alcohol are. I'm not expecting great feedback from them.
posted to MetaTalk by Citizen Premier at 4:26 AM on May 5, 2007

If reading this makes you angry, then your writing is probably shit, too. In fact, you're probably made out of shit. Fuck you.

Well, what if we made a constitutional rule that mean-spirited feedback on stories wouldn't be deleted? I'd love to find somebody who thinks my writing sucks and is willing to tell me how & why.
posted to MetaTalk by Citizen Premier at 4:06 PM on May 5, 2007

I have no problem with one-link FPP's, it's just that when a link just goes to a few pictures or such, I think to myself, "there's so much of this stuff on the web, the majority of posts on Metafilter could easily all be like this someday."
But maybe Metafilter won't cross the line into crap. I'm just a pessimist myself.

And signal, bring on the fish!
posted to MetaTalk by Citizen Premier at 7:00 AM on November 6, 2006

No, it shouldn't. Sometimes I like to cut-and-paste text first, and then paste in the link, or something like that. So yeah. Don't change it.
posted to MetaTalk by Citizen Premier at 7:06 PM on April 1, 2006

oh... well then, carry on.

Ah, well, I thought so.
posted to MetaTalk by Citizen Premier at 7:17 PM on April 1, 2006

Interestingly, this comment wasn't deleted, along with others which were a blantant violation of the whole "don't talk about other mefites" rule. Looks like an admin let irrational hatred get the best of him/her/it.

Normally we would, cyrusdogstar, but this is a leap year.

Bah. I support the editorial, because it is an emotional release and says honest things. It simply isn't FPP material any more than Landover Baptist.
posted to MetaTalk by Citizen Premier at 6:46 PM on October 23, 2005

Well, what if we had a once a month emergency post, that would allow us to post twice in one week? Some issues are more pressing and internet searches don't solve all problems.
posted to MetaTalk by Citizen Premier at 10:08 AM on September 4, 2005

Say, for example, someone had a dead rattlesnake they found, and wanted to preserve its skeleton and skin, but didn't know anyone who knew how, and therefore wanted to ask a large group in the hopes that someone did. This issue is pressing, because the snake would start stinking in a few days and have to be thrown away, most likely.
I'm sure there are plenty of other examples that are not life-threatening but that require quick help.
posted to MetaTalk by Citizen Premier at 10:17 AM on September 4, 2005

Well, thank you, monju_bosatsu, I was going in entirely the wrong direction with my searches. But I still think the policy deserves a little revision, and I didn't just do this to ask my question on the grey.

And Dr. Wu, this may seem strange to you if you aren't a naturalist, but I like to go out to the desert and look for animals, and if I can find a dead specimen it's all the better.
posted to MetaTalk by Citizen Premier at 10:34 AM on September 4, 2005

Well, I appreciate the lengthy response, Matt. I think now perhaps the problem is with the nature of humanity. I think I'm going to petition God.

I presume it wouldn't work to have questions deleted after a "best answer" is marked...would it?
posted to MetaTalk by Citizen Premier at 11:53 AM on September 4, 2005

No need to point out that I don't post a lot...
posted to MetaTalk by Citizen Premier at 10:45 AM on August 26, 2005

Well I believe this is a new feature, that was implimented along with the insta-preview feature, and I'm giving a thumbs up, and asking that people add tags.
posted to MetaTalk by Citizen Premier at 9:17 AM on July 28, 2005

It hasn't been around for 3-4 years, unless it's prone to malfunction, because it let my engrish post through for one thing.

FlamingBore, because I am an honest person with no shame.

Um, profiles are a bit silly. But, now that you mention it, I'll add some information. It's citizenpremier@yahoo.com, if you actually have something to email to me.

Ugh. I think I give up on metafilter.

Rejoice.
posted to MetaTalk by Citizen Premier at 9:42 PM on July 20, 2005

Blech. It was a stupid mistake, and I don't see why it's that hard to grasp. I'm going to be making racist jokes till I die, a few seconds from now when the angry metafites kill me. However, it might be prudent to mention now that I'm a teenager, and teenagers today make racist jokes, and have friends of every color. At least in my district they do.

caddis, do you catalogue my faults? If so I'd like to see the list. Maybe I can add some!

FUCK YOU!
posted to MetaTalk by Citizen Premier at 3:42 AM on July 21, 2005

Well, the "fuck you" was a bit like an angy good bye, but I feel the need to correct your analagy; it's more like playing a video at a party and then discovering it's actually the one you used to record sex with your wife. It's not a conscious decision to offend, it's just showing something of yours you didn't mean to, in this case my sense of humor. And you can't blame someone for their sense of humor.
