| Feb 10, 2012 at 1:02 | comment | added | wfaulk | I have no problem with "circumventing ... policy". It's "circumventing security" that bugs me. Sysadmins do that somewhat frequently in password recovery, file recovery, etc. | |
| Feb 9, 2012 at 21:28 | comment | added | Sven | @wfaulk: I don't think we will loose anything worthwhile if some borderline acceptable questions regarding policy circumventing etc. don't get posted. | |
| Feb 9, 2012 at 20:51 | comment | added | wfaulk | I think we should be more explicit about what we mean by "circumventing security or policy". I think we all know what we mean by that, but if someone is reading a FAQ, he might think twice about posting a question on the edge of that, and that's detrimental to the community. | |
| Feb 9, 2012 at 20:38 | comment | added | John Gardeniers | @WesleyDavid, while on the surface it would appear you're correct, if you actually read the parts you replaced with [blah] things are completely different. A person who can't see those tags/links as merely examples, despite the inclusion of words such as "including" or "such as", probably isn't the person we want posting on SF. | |
| Feb 9, 2012 at 3:58 | comment | added | Wesley | Small nit to pick: The sentence goes like this - "If your question is about [blah] and it is not about [blah] then you’re in the right place to ask your question!" However that seems too strongly typed. Someone could think "Well I don't see my exact system..." so it might be nice to place some kind of ambiguity in there. "If your question is about things like..." | |
| Feb 7, 2012 at 15:06 | comment | added | MDMarra | @Gilles Policy circumvention has been discussed time and again. If you're a professional Systems Admin, you won't be circumventing policy. Doing so is, by definition, unprofessional. | |
| Feb 7, 2012 at 13:36 | comment | added | Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' | I can't condone the ban on “circumventing … policy”. | |
| Feb 7, 2012 at 7:59 | comment | added | user11604 | +1 for "tags" and "no exceptions" as detailed above. | |
