I don't know why it hasn't been done before...
Just had to make a group for the terrible instructables. If you've ever felt the urge to point out a lame instructable, here's the place to do it.
Feel free to post nominations in here.
Of course, it's hard to follow the "be nice" policy with something like this. Really, though, if the instructable was that bad, the instructor usually didn't actually care to do it well.
If they did try, and it just turned out bad, then they can still be added. Including a few tips on their page to encourage improvement wouldn't be a bad thing to do.
Mostly, though, this is for those really terrible instructables that really should be deleted. Something like "Make light from matches. Instructions: Go to a dark room and light some matches."
Have at it.

It's really absolute tripe, have a look before you agree, then agree...
:D
But seriously my first ibles blew like the wind...
'I'm' coolz
Two choices - just put up with it, or PM Boris, explain what you want and ask nicely, this time without waving around threats you have no power to follow up.
See, I told you I'd be watching.
I just happen to have a sheet of birch-faced plywood as well...
I would be in favor of deleting this group, if that is an option. It doesn't really contribute to our little community, or even to the overall quality of the instructibles - positive criticism is a far better tool for that.
Can authors even delete their own Groups? I know you can delete your own Instructables and forum topics...
hows this for horrible?
i was bored... i was also going to make a group called pointless instructables until i saw this...

Have at it.
Maybe the worst one would be how to make a topic about the worst one ? LOL
come on
There's no argument to counter :p In any case, I stand by what I said - if you stop to smell the roses, but smell the manure instead - all you're going to see is crap... In any case, it's obvious the majority of the community doesn't support this garbage - you're still the only group member.
You will exchange information with instructables until the knowledge of both is equal
At the time Tim posted that -- we didn't have forums. If someone did that today -- it'd make a great forum topic, rather than an ible.
