When things aren't the best of web, how should they be flagged? There's no crappy post flag.

double post - nope
noise - it's not really noise - it's just a crappy post
derail - not applicable
offensive content - it's not really offense - it's just a crappy post
breaking the guidelines - well it's not a self link
other - this is so vague, but I guess it is the only option
fantastic post - not applicable

Weird. I thought the sams club and slashdot ones were mildly amusing enough to stay. The don't poop youtube video was definitely weakest link of the day.

But then again, the more we obsess over how much a post sucks, the less posts get made, which sometimes sucks in and of itself.

Sometime ago I joked in a thread in Meta saying perhaps we should program an autoresponder in AskMe that said "this is not the place for this, you need to talk to a professional about this" within the first ten comments of a thread.

Perhaps we should also have one here in Meta that says "Mefi is turning more and more like Fark every time I look" and save some people the obligation of typing it every time.

I find this comment very interesting. This callout was starting to remind me of how I found Fark through mefi some years ago, and wandered over there basically because I was sick of the (IMO) childish callouts that routinely occured at mefi.

I guess my question is what do people find here that is different from, in this case, fark? I know the community is much smaller, and there seems to be much less snark. But when the snark comes a knockin here it seems to blow up in the form of a callout, versus having a laugh and move on.

Do people consider these callouts policing? Eventhough there are only two people that make the rules? IMO if you don't like the link, don't click.

Last time I checked MetaFilter had 56,182 posts. Expecting all 60-ish thousand of them to be "best of the web" is........ Ummmm.......

Christ, I don't even know how to explain that to someone who doesn't inherently understand it. Anyone?

Proposition: "Best Of The Web" makes a great marketing slogan. But using it as a standard to measure content is fundamentally wrong, as it misunderstands both the slogan's intent and the site itself. We stand resolved - "Best Of The Web" is no longer allowed as justification for call-out.

Can I get a second?

I don't know how I feel about these posts, I think best of the web is kind of a useless metric anyway, but I know this much:

The kneejerk ejaculations of "best of the web?" in each post that does not meet some bizarre solipsistic personal criteria are charming like the involuntary popcorn fart of a small kitten when you squeeze their belly or the bleating of a small child when they cannot have another chocolate, "it's not fair, it's not faaaaiiiirrrrr."


Fuckin' flag it and move to an airstream trailer in the Mojave princesses, they're aren't enough mattresses in the world to cover up that pea.

Ok, we've been over this debate about "best of the web" before - literally ad nauseum.

First, quantity is no reason to nor an excuse to ignore quality.

I'm not expecting 100% best of the web, but I'd really like MeFi to shoot for something approaching 0% "Suckiest random crap of the web" of the ilk one usually reserves for Fark, mass email forwards, Yahoo's Weird News pages, etc.

I used to get enough of this crap in my inbox until the people in my social network realized that it was generally annoying.

Callouts don't bother me, personally, and in a perverted way helps to build community (see scapegoat).

There seems to be less discussion in thread and more one-liners in the comments. Lots of folks have mentioned this here in the grey, but I can't seem to find any links.

Then again I'm a total voyeur and rarely participate in the pileons and flameouts.

Daniel Pinkwater wrote about experiencing Art. The gist is that if you want to see Great Art, you need to see a lot of not-so-great art. But you can't just skip the art and go to the Art.

The web is big, so big that you can't actually expect that every post on this site will be the Best of the Web. You have to settle for all these things that are maybe not even best so you can experience all the Best ones.

Fark has said callouts, and much worse, its just that they're just swept under the rug so you can't see them. They obfuscate their attempts at self-policing and resort to banning at a drop of the hat.

That's exactly why I genuinely and sincerely loath making this callout.

There's a very different reason you should have loathed making this callout: because your metatalk thread is the perfect example of the worst type of metatalk thread. You select a few posts you dislike for some indescribable reason--and I can only assume the reason is indescribable, as the best you're able, or willing, to muster up is that they're "not the best of the web". No explanation, no attempt to actually effect a change.

No, none of that. Just, "this sucks, this sucks, and this sucks." Really? Thanks for sharing. The threads are, honestly, somewhat middling in quality (probably not the exact dredges of metafilter, but not all that interesting either). Nevertheless, they're not uniquely bad. They're not even different than things that have been posted here for six years or so.

In fact, weird news has always been one of the things that seems to go over pretty well here. Personally, I enjoy them, when they're actually interesting. Why? I can't rightly say. I just find something amusing about the strange things that happen in this world.

Finally, can you imagine what it would be like if every time someone on this site didn't like a thread they just started a metatalk thread about it? It would be unbearable. So unless there's some deeper significance to this post, it should be sunk to the bottom of the sea with Christ of the Deep.

Before I begin: I haven't read this complete thread, and I don't usually wander around here at MeTa. This is my first MeTa comment.

loquacious, honest question not trolling: if you thought my Slashdot post sucked, you could've posted a comment/complaint in the thread itself. That would've been a little nice. I am not holding a grudge on your callout, but as a ocassional wanderer in MeTa it's difficult and let's say a bit painful to find out that there was some grumbling over it.

As for my justification to posting it, I thought it was a moment of geekculture worthy of marking out. I actually ruminated over it for 5-10 mins in fear of this exact callout and snark etc from the MeFi crowd..but then went ahead with it thinking that quite a few nerd/geeks here would appreciate it (thx mathowie), just as I did (though I lay no claim to be a geek). And I remembered about a para-long Britney divorce thread and suddenly this 1-line FPP didn't look so bad in comparison. Infact I almost..almost put in a disclaimer/apology in the comments asking for the thread to be deleted, while waiting for the snark to come out, but looking at the comments I held back and didn't think that was required.

Honest question to MeFis here:
Are single link FPPs really bad? I don't think so. One not-so-funny reason being they take up less space. Ok I understand that if everyone did it it won't be healthy for the blue, but ocassionally? If poster is a newbie?

On the other hand I find all those youTube-only FPPs very annoying, but as a rule I don't click on anything I don't like and am quite ok with posting habits, unless something is really scraping the bottom of the barrel, like this (essentially a email-fwd), on which I do agree with loquacious.

But increasingly I find that anything which doesn't suit the reader's taste being called out or piled-on, and frankly it has gotten to a point where I think it even discourages me from even attempting to make a proper FPP just from the fear of someone somewhere coming up with reasons to be snarky enough.

for eg: there are enough of newsfilter posts on the blue during this election and I don't see any complaining. But sometime back I posted a thread about that Turkish plane hijack and it was breaking news. Even the BBC didn't had the complete report up, (not even the information that the hijacker was Catholic intending to deliver a msg to Pope) and that post was deleted as newsfilter, axegrindfilter because my post was titled "F*cking fundies" or something to that effect, which is ironic since I am hardly the LGF type which the admins must've thought of me while deleting it. However I thought, this is probably the only hijack of such a big passenger plane since 9-11, hence FPP-worthy. Again no big deal.

ok, you might say the elections are an imp. event and there is enough interest among the masses here, what with majority of members being American, and so have to be exempted. Fine, agree with you'll. But then again there was that thread abt Cory Lidle crashing his plane in NY. Mind you all the info came out much later, the only fact known at the time the thread was posted was "plane crash in NY tower". What was the essential difference between these two threads?

Personally I don't take FPP deletion so seriosly, apart from the momentary despair, hence I didn't even ask at that time, and just let it pass. And frankly I don't have that much time and energy to spend. But at the sametime I don't want to be "that guy" who keeps on posting FPPs that suck which eventually gets deleted.

Apologies. This isn't something I normally do. I probably shouldn't have included your post, and should have included a few other truly bad posts from today, as indicated by others in this thread.

As others have indicated, MeTa is the place for this stuff, not in thread. However, it would have been better form if I had included a link to this MetaTalk post to indicate the callout.

No! They're great, if the link is great. Much better than a multi-paragraph thing chock full of half-arsed links added to pad, anyway. (Single links to op-ed pieces that have historically been frowned upon, but somehow loads of people have taken that to mean that all single links are bad - it's a bit like the way Jesus had a nice line in proto-socialist pacifism and yet we've ended up with hate-fuelled fundamentalist Christians obsessed with gay marriage and stem cell research being very naughty indeed.)

The e-mail forward thread several people have linked to really, really, really irked me. We may not be able to capture "the best of the web" in every post, but I think the point is that we aim to.

Newsfilter can be the best of the web -- if it's really big important news the thread itself becomes important.

Political posts can be the best of the web if they are well-researched and provide new insight.

But a list of 2705259 ways to annoy people is absolutely not the best of anything. We've all seen it before. We saw it 10 years ago, if not on MeFi then in endless lists that flooded our inboxes. If the "how to be annoying" thread did anything for me, it reminded me to be grateful that none of my friends send me this sort of junk any more.

spiderwire: I think I'd need a better example, because anything including the words "quantum" or "encryption" causes my very small brain to shut down entirely.

I don't think something has to be "new" to make a good posts. There are different kinds of good FPPs. There are those that are thoroughly researched, those that are interesting because they're links to quirky little sites we wouldn't have found otherwise, etc.

The old news aspect of the "how to be annoying" thread wasn't all that killed it. You take something that is widely known -- every person here has gotten one of those forwards at some point in life -- and widely disliked, and you post it to MeFi. No good can come of it.

Had that thread included, say, some analysis of why people find these forward-y things compelling, or how the forwards have found a new home on the web instead of in people's inboxes, or links to other places with different takes on the same idea, or an essay on web-folklore of this sort ... that would have been a thread I would have adored.

This is on instance in which the single-link nature of the FPP is what really made me want to curl up in a ball and never look at the interwebs again. And there are plenty of single-linkers I've enjoyed.

Okay, I'm really going to shut up now.

"But using it as a standard to measure content is fundamentally wrong, as it misunderstands both the slogan's intent and the site itself."

Says you. And you're wrong. Also, you might note that forwebsites used a bad post to justify his (marginal) post. The "standard" for most people is what actually appears on the front page. It's much easier to make a bad post than a good post and lots of people post because they want to post and for no other reason. That all adds up to continual downward pressure on the quality of posts. Complaining about bad posts isn't fun (or usually isn't fun), but we're rolling that boulder up that damn hill because if we stopped that fucker'd roll right over the top of us and plunge all the way down into the valley of the fark.

The bottom line (as filtered through my brain)? Metafilter is not that kind of site, and does not want to be (although favoriting has pushed it closer to '+5 would read again' highschoolery already, so who knows).

Just a bit of a clue for you - it's best to hang around for, oh I don't know, maybe more than a few days before you start telling everyone else that they don't understand how this place works.
Well, I knew something about this bothered me and it's been on my mind over the weekend. After re-viewing your profile and comparing it with another profile, it seems you have been around a lot longer than a few days and do (or should) know how this place works.
