Creepy to sleep with employer/employee if both sides are consenting? - employeremployeerelationship feminism

Post 280998 by milque deleted for the following reason: As posted this is a bit too much on the chatfilter side of things. Given the context folks are likely to just offer their opinion anyway I feel, and frankly it's going to be hell just keeping this thread from turning into one big debate. If you want to rework this I'd focus more heavily on the articles etc. so what you're looking for is clear and specific and people will be less likely to interpret the question as simply asking for opinions. -- goodnewsfortheinsane

Russia's role in the Oil and Gas international market - russian translation language

I'm not BetaZed. I can't read your mind, dude. - relationships breakup anxiety

Post 280995 by inmyhead deleted for the following reason: I'm terribly sorry but as posted I feel this is really difficult to answer in a way that will be of any use to you. If you'd like to try again it could be shorter, and preferably without the bolded text above the fold. But more importantly there needs to be a very concrete answerable question for it to work here. -- goodnewsfortheinsane

White Fragility? - socialjustice whitefragility whiteprivilege

Post 280899 by whimsicalnymph deleted for the following reason: Heya, questions about site-related things, including tracking down stuff you saw on the site, go in Metatalk, not here; go ahead and repost it over there. -- cortex

Legal advice needed. Previous owner does not pay for oil tank removal. - real state advise

Post 280882 by mbn1455 deleted for the following reason: Sorry, but Ask Metafilter commenters cannot give legal advice. Please contact us if you have questions. -- taz

Brother took some of my books when he moved out - bibliophile usbookbitchesdon'tmessaround bookcollection

Post 280674 by DisreputableDog deleted for the following reason: Hey, sorry but there are some problems here. Reposting a photo from someone else and sharing info about them is not great, and, additionally, this is falls too much into the "do me a favor," or "do this task for me" that is over and above the more-okay "can you read the signature on this painting"-type request. -- taz

I made a Grooveshark Alternative. Seeking comments. - music webdesign

Post 280638 by sprockett deleted for the following reason: Hey sorry, there are several problems with this as an AskMe - (a) it's quasi-promotional and (b) seeking collaborators isn't something you can do on AskMe - maybe on Jobs? or on Projects if the site is fully developed enough -- LobsterMitten

A headhunter for therapists? Does such a thing exist? - counselor psychologist psychiatrist

Post 280621 by KinoAndHermes deleted for the following reason: Hey, sorry for the late delete here, but embedding a homophobic slur in the post text isn't workable on this site. Try again next week if you'd like, and let us know if you need help with the framing. -- taz

Post 280590 by akita deleted for the following reason: Sorry, but this is not substantially different than your recent question along the same lines, and the same advice applies -- taz

Post 280556 by acoutu deleted for the following reason: Sorry, you can't ask for favors in AskMe; maybe could put this in Jobs? -- LobsterMitten

Who's got a shiny heinie? - singing songwriting pets

Post 280480 by teststrip deleted for the following reason: I sympathize as a fellow pet-singer, but without a clearer framework for answering a concrete question this is pretty darned chatty for Ask. -- cortex

Fleeting Contemplation of Violence - murder

Post 280395 by Quisp Lover deleted for the following reason: Heya, the mix of this being sort of chatty in construction and the really-not-necessary side mention of rape is making this seem like a bad idea for Ask. -- cortex

My best friend cheated on her boyfriend, and this pisses me off - cheating anxiety relationships

Post 279959 by vondramach deleted for the following reason: Sorry, this is chatfilter; AskMe is for concrete questions, not a discussion or processing space. -- LobsterMitten

Any female fighters, mma or boxing, interested in sharing their stories? - women film gender

Post 279934 by LaceyCoffee deleted for the following reason: Hey, sorry, but soliciting interview subjects is against the guidelines for Ask Metafilter. Please contact us soonish to discuss how to rework this to work on the site. -- taz

Shall I still use this person as a network/reference resource? - networking job interviews

Post 279827 by tnar23 deleted for the following reason: This question is far too long for the front page, sorry. A (very) short summary is basically the way to go -- there's always the "extended explanation" field for the detailed version. It does need to be more concrete though about what aspect exactly you want help with, and why you're asking Metafilter -- ending on "Any opinions" will probably not help you get very specific feedback. -- goodnewsfortheinsane

Do any "Western Bibles" give arguments?

Post 279763 by Eiwalker deleted for the following reason: Heya, it sounds like you're maybe looking for examples of a fairly specific kind of rhetorical/structural element in religious literature, but as framed here it's not really clear exactly what that is or why you're asking. Maybe try and reframe this with a clearer description of what you're looking for an maybe a couple of examples from non-Western religious works if that's what you're contrasting against for the purpose of the question? -- cortex

Callous Break Up and post-break up. Need love and hard love. - relationship breakup relationships

Post 279727 by minoraltercation deleted for the following reason: I'm sorry you're going through this, but this needs a clear question in order to work here, and it doesn't really have one. -- restless_nomad

A question of class. How to respond when someone looks down on you - caregiver superiority

Post 279682 by BarcelonaRed deleted for the following reason: Hey, there, sorry this happened, but this seems like less a problem to be solved, and more like a discussion prompt (not the purpose of Ask Metafilter), or possible reader poll ("what do *you* think about caregivers"); additionally folks can't say what kind of person your vet really is. -- taz

Calling all residents of Dallas County - Texas Politics

Post 279644 by AlonzoMosleyFBI deleted for the following reason: Heya, unless you're actually specifically asking about something tied directly to that recent event (in which case that needs to be clearer), it seems like a really bad idea to hang an Ask Me off a really recent bad news sort of thing as a framing device. Get back to me real quick and we could bring this back with less complicated framing. -- cortex
