Post 67049 by willlangford deleted for the following reason: This is a really thin post (forgive an unkind reference to, say, Slashdot in 1998?); the collapse of objective quality-detection is a big part of why linking to your friends' stuff is generally just not okay on the front page. -- cortex

Pretty Woman, Pretty Man

Post 66925 by djlynch deleted for the following reason: If your only links are a blog entry that you don't really consider up to snuff and a less-than-a-day-old mefi thread, you should probably hold off and not post. This feels like it's primarly an excuse to state your opinion and start a discussion, which isn't how the front page is supposed to work. -- cortex

Post 66905 by k8t deleted for the following reason: I think maybe people yell "Pepsi Blue" a little too quickly or easily around here sometimes, but this is really, really freakin' advertisey and I'm not sure why it needs this kind of front page attention. -- cortex

Wank*Mart

Post 66870 by c0nsumer deleted for the following reason: You know, there's nothing inherently wrong with sexually explicit posts on the front page, but this is seriously just a bunch of videos a guy shot of himself jerking off. I'm not sure that quite clears the bar for being worth the hooah it's causing here. -- cortex

Post 66853 by bigmusic deleted for the following reason: This is a really great example of taking an admirable idea and a lot of effort and completely compromising them by a miserable, easy-to-misunderstand stuntish abuse of the guidelines. Why shoot yourself in the foot by going out of your way to make your post piss people off like this? -- cortex

Post 66841 by homunculus deleted for the following reason: this is a single link bloggish op ed link to TPM Muchraker which rarely make good links on metafilter. People who want to rend garments or OMGOMGOMG over this can go to TPM Muckraker which is quite a decent blog in its own right, and yet different from MetaFilter. -- jessamyn
