Post 69449 by LordSludge deleted for the following reason: "OMG look at these assholes" threads about cops are really starting to get into "these are the sorts of posts that go terribly here" territory. single link news story with added youtubery for OMG outrageness isn't really something neat on the web and discussion is always predictable. -- jessamyn

add n to x
Post 69425 by vronsky deleted for the following reason: So the gestalt take on this thread is, I guess, that while it's not clear what kind of sandwich it is, exactly, it's definitely some kind of sandwich rather than a good front page post. Maybe not so much with the posting sandwiches to the front page, then. -- cortex

Hi, my name is lattiboy (Hi lattiboy!), and I'm a cheap bastard
Post 69365 by lattiboy deleted for the following reason: Setting aside the issue of using the More Inside section to keep your post from sprawling all over the front page (that is, please do so in the future), at least half the sites here are in the post you link back to. It's kind of a weird intentional-double thing. -- cortex

Our favorite artist
Post 69347 by de novo dahl deleted for the following reason: The guy's art is nice, but the way you've presented this is a little too much about your band for comfort, especially when your band name is your username and you even add it as a tag to the post. -- cortex

Post 69345 by homunculus deleted for the following reason: this is not a better post. Do you need to go to metatalk to talk about this? If so, we can meet you there. -- jessamyn

Nexus of Politics and Terror
Post 69289 by homunculus deleted for the following reason: If you think this is important, you might want to Make An Effort instead of a nearly blind link to a MSNBC video that is minutes of waiting before it's even clear wtf is going on. Seriously.... if you care about what is going on and you want to share it with someone, don't make a FPP that looks like you were running to catch a bus. -- jessamyn

Post 69244 by crossoverman deleted for the following reason: Really, other than a lightweight teaser from Entertainment Weekly, there's nothing here but wikipedia articles and backlinks to mefi. We probably don't need this. Also, Angus? For serious? -- cortex

Dubai Express: Cat Le-Huy's Unjust Imprisonment
Post 69162 by RubberHen deleted for the following reason: There could be a pretty decent post about drug laws and tourist culture lurking in here, but as is this is pretty much built around "donate money, sign my petition" stuff, which isn't a great use of the front page. There might be room for Projects for some aspect of that, but not here. -- cortex

Post 69053 by chunking express deleted for the following reason: Man, this is kinda lame. Post apparently not a strong candidate for the list, though without demographics attached to the flags we can only speculatively blame whitey. -- cortex
The system is broken
Post 69039 by hexxed deleted for the following reason: This is really pretty thin Here's Some Election Basics roundup stuff; there's no meat here, and we're well thick into the electionfilter season so it's doubly unnecessary among the overdose of detailed posts we've seen and will no doubt continue to see. -- cortex

Your tax dollars at work
Post 69019 by CitizenD deleted for the following reason: Outrage-baiting and defensively quoting the site guidelines in your post is kind of a bad sign and certainly bad presentation. This is pretty editorial-plus-gawking stuff; being angry about what happened to Sterner is understandable, but if feels like maybe being angry about it played a little too much of a role in your decision-making here. -- cortex

The Napkin Project
Post 68983 by madamjujujive deleted for the following reason: I like to scribble on napkins when I'm out at a restaurant; the other night I was having sushi and arguing about what Wolverine's facial hair looks like and ended up scrawling out a rough likeness of Wolvie with and without mask. And then for some reason we got to talking about Nazis and I drew a little Hilter moustache on him, but it didn't really work well. Also, double. -- cortex

A story teller is all I am
Post 68934 by spock deleted for the following reason: I think this got off on the wrong foot. If you're being sarcastic you may be being too subtle, if not you're kind of seeming a little "they LAUGHED at me at the academy" about your view of this topic vs everyone else's and that tends to set threads off on the wrong foot. -- jessamyn
