At long last, congressman, have you no shame?
Post 119483 by msalt deleted for the following reason: I get that people are really distressed and upset about this election season and the people that are running for high office, but posts to MetaFilter need to be a lot more "here is something interesting" and a lot less "fuck these guys" there is enough "fuck these guys" on the rest of the internet. Thank you. -- jessamyn
Side effects don't include pregnancy.
Post 119479 by Hollywood Upstairs Medical College deleted for the following reason: yes, legitimate rape is total fucking bullshit. But this has been linked in another thread and the overlap of rape and lulz and internet controversy is not so great for MetaFilter. Election time is tough, let's maybe focus on the things that are important and not the dramaz low-hanging fruit part? -- jessamyn
"You could wear a T-shirt that says 'I'm literally asking for it,' and I'd still advocate for your security"
Post 119478 by jb deleted for the following reason: Someone says something stupid and sexist on Twitter not really so great for a post. I understand that people are upset about this, but we might want to consider what the outcome is that you are hoping for by posting this thread, in this way on this website. Having a whole bunch more consciousness raising about what victim blaming is and why it is bad is not really a great reason for a post. -- jessamyn

"She is a terrible pageant queen"
Post 119442 by the young rope-rider deleted for the following reason: This is not a good post for MetaFilter. It's a single link Slate article about a flashpoint topic and I know you mean well and want to discuss it here but it may require a different sort of post in order to do that. Feel free to contact us if you have questions. -- jessamyn
President Obama is doing an AMA on Reddit right now.

ObAMA
Post 119438 by spiderskull deleted for the following reason: Link to live Reddit thread while it's being crushed by the traffic is pretty much a non-starter. Maybe a round-up post later if the results are actually something interesting beyond "President says presidential things to the questions that aren't about Ron Paul or weed"? -- cortex
Rescuing the rescued
Post 119425 by liet deleted for the following reason: This animal abuse thread is going the way of all the other animal abuse threads. "This is a terrible thing that happened" posts aren't grat for MeFi anyhow and turning them into yet another "pits are bad, no they aren't, you are bad" thread just isn't any good at all. -- jessamyn
Big Tent of Conservatism My Ass
Post 119421 by Renoroc deleted for the following reason: Hey, this is a super short blog post that doesn't really give much information about this incident, combined with a title that doesn't seem to be a quote, but maybe a poster editorial remark. Maybe try again with something that adds some more context or analysis? -- taz

Post 119257 by roomthreeseventeen deleted for the following reason: Shootings are terrible; "there was a shooting that just happened and there's not much of any news yet" posts really are not very good for Metafilter. Please hold off until there's something more than BREAKING NEWS on this if it turns out to be specifically post-worthy rather than just a bad thing that happened. -- cortex

Developmental disabilities in the third world
Post 119241 by chela deleted for the following reason: I'd suggest writing this post over without the "arab country" aspect and the pre-outraging. If you want to talk about how mental illness is dealt with in Pakistan or in Arab countries, please write about that. If you want to write about this furor/outrage, that's a different not-as-great-for-MeFi sort of post. -- jessamyn

Post 119105 by xcasex deleted for the following reason: Heya, there's a couple good potential directions to go here with a post (particularly I don't think there's every been a comprehensive post about the Saami) but this is kind of scattershot and going in a few directions at once without any clear framing as currently presented. Maybe regroup and put together a slightly more focused do-over tomorrow? -- cortex

We have a wide variety of members here and odd language like "douchey Euro guy" is sort of not a great way to talk about people. -- jessamyn
