Time warping Dolls
Post 112267 by Merlin The Happy Pig deleted for the following reason: That's kind of a cool thing but mefi posts need to read less like a personal blog entry than this. Not a huge deal, if you or someone else wants to give it another shot with less of an "I was there!" presentation. -- cortex

Dominion for iOS
Post 112117 by JHarris deleted for the following reason: I <3 Dominion and have fearful joy over this development, but a link to an iphone app and a general play description feels a little insidery-thin for a mefi post by itself. Maybe something a little more thorough about Dominion for the unacquainted? -- cortex

Post 111751 by thewalrus deleted for the following reason: A link to a Greasmonkey script isn't a good post for Metafilter; you can mention this in the Metatalk thread or one of the open SOPA threads. -- taz
Not sure how much credit to give this, but worth a discussion at least!
Post 111750 by Jesse Hughson deleted for the following reason: Not there might not be an interesting post to be made about the phenomenon or culture of anti-taxation agitation, but a video of a crank cranking his crank is not by itself really material for a post. -- cortex
The spreading of a smear tactic?
Post 111712 by tarheelcoxn deleted for the following reason: I know this is totally a thing happening on the internet but if there's not much more to it than "here's a site that everybody's linking to do the Santorum googlebomb thing to Romney" so far, I'm not sure that's really a great post for mefi. -- cortex

Post 111627 by troll deleted for the following reason: Linking to copyrighted stuff that snuck its way on to Scribd is not really okay for MetaFilter and the phrasing of this post is likewise problematic. If you want to make this post find a freely available article and/or something on the web to link to. This is not working. -- jessamyn
