| Feb 8, 2012 at 6:52 | comment | added | John Gardeniers | vortetaq7's post re stripping the "no exceptions" has 11 votes now, so will that change get included? | |
| Feb 7, 2012 at 23:20 | comment | added | user62491 | @JohnGardeniers: Oh well that makes sense. We'll just have to assume new users can exercise some context-awareness. | |
| Feb 7, 2012 at 22:03 | comment | added | John Gardeniers | @kce, we get quite a few questions about home settings where the poster don't see themselves as hobbyists. e.g. A sysadmin setting up a lab at home. | |
| Feb 7, 2012 at 21:53 | comment | added | user11604 | @JohnGardeniers Exactly what I was driving at. The only alternative I can think of is, "Anything not connected with the work place", although, in context with "and is not about...", would make it a double negative. | |
| Feb 7, 2012 at 20:42 | comment | added | user62491 | What if "home setting" was replaced with "hobbyist setting", or something to that effect. | |
| Feb 7, 2012 at 20:28 | comment | added | John Gardeniers | Leaving the "no exceptions" in there will very likely result in perfectly legitimate questions being flagged or voted as OT. Strictly speaking a "Location that happens to also be a Home" IS a "Home Setting". While most of us are intelligent enough to be able to tell the practical difference there will be plenty around who either can't tell the difference or won't be bothered to make the distinction. | |
| Feb 7, 2012 at 14:01 | comment | added | Chris S Mod | I strongly disagree with removing the "no exceptions" part. I think people are confusing "Home Setting" with "Location that happens to also be a Home", they weren't intended to be the same and maybe that line needs to be worded differently. Any Questions with the intentions of being used by a Non-Professional user should already be Off-Topic. That line was simply trying to restate the fact for the specific case of non-professional home users (particularly those who might be using enterprise equipment for non-professional uses). | |
| Feb 7, 2012 at 10:38 | comment | added | Bart De Vos | Indeed, we should strip the "no exceptions". | |
| Feb 7, 2012 at 7:49 | comment | added | user11604 | Agreed, because corporate use of the home environment is an exception. | |
| Feb 7, 2012 at 4:00 | comment | added | voretaq7 Mod | Provisionally approved with the caveat that if stripping "no exceptions" from the Home setting line manages to top 10 upvotes we should proceed with it. (I'm holding off locking that edit round to see if it makes it) | |
