Fair enough, that might be the wrong word.

(Out of curiosity, do you know if there's any way to see how many threads are closed by moderators? My recollection is that the rationale for closing a thread is included in its comments, but the thread disappears of the frontpage once its been axed so it's hard to know how common that it.)

Either way, I didn't mean it as a bad thing. Personally, I want a moderated experience... so long as I trust the moderator.

The deleted threads do vanish from the home page, but they stay online. There is a GreaseMonkey script if you really want to find them. As a long time active MeFi member, I'd peg the deleted thread rate at less than one per day.

I'm pretty sure it's been discussed in MetaTalk too, so some creative searching of that sub-site might turn up the number.

For anyone curious enough there is a blog [1] that tracks deleted MetaFilter posts.
