Proposal: Removal of 'Meta' item category

1. Proposal: Removal of 'Meta' item category

   #1

   After years of submissions, we have yet to have a single entry within the 'Meta' items category. As was mentioned in another thread, pretty much the entirety of this category is subsumed by other, less genre-specific categories. I therefore propose that we remove the category as useless clutter.

   I second the motion!

   Instead of removing it, how about we try submitting a entry for it? I mean, give people an idea or example of an item that could fit this category.
   
   If not, then perhaps using a different definition to describe the Meta category other then relating it to superheroes. Like something outside this realm of existence.

   I don't see why we need to keep around something that can be easily mapped to other categories.  Would you ever search for a 'meta' item? If so, what were you expecting when you did?
   
   Frankly, I would prefer eliminating the categories entirely and use tags/freetext only.

   An interesting idea, with some merit, but the categories do provide some general guidelines for submission content. If I'm looking for an interesting location, unless we make a 'location' freetext, and somehow require that it be added to a submission fitting said criteria, I may never find all the entries I'm looking for. In the end, I view categories as required freetext, that helps organize the broad landscape of submissions.
