MetaFilter's site and server can always use upgrades of hardware, software, and bandwidth, as well as more stable funding for continued support of its small but high-skilled moderation and backend team! If you'd like to chip in, you can donate to Metafilter.

Death by a Thousand Comments

From Mefi Wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search

Threads on MetaFilter that contain more than a few hundred comments are usually considered overly long. In certain rare cases, an FPP about a contentious issue or a thread rife with trolling will cause a thread to exceed 1000 comments -- thus running the thread into the ground.


Some notable examples

1194 comments were made before the thread was mercifully aborted.
