| Feb 19, 2012 at 20:56 | comment | added | John Gardeniers | "there seems to be a degree of disparity between appearances and intentions". For a site that is supposed to be community driven we seem to be having surprisingly little say in how it operates. It reminds me of the colour choices Henry Ford presented to his customers. "You can have any colour you like, as long as it's black". | |

| Feb 17, 2012 at 4:25 | comment | added | MDMarra | It sounds like there is a blanket rule of how the introduction of the FAQ "should" be. I also think that introduction paragraph is exactly where nitty gritty should go (as do the majority of users), but there is, apparently, a network-wide decree that this is wrong. My point is that there seem to be arbitrary rules that don't make sense for every SE, but are applied to them anyway. If A51 is going to continue to fracture our community, we'll continue to need a more and more complex FAQ to keep up with the complex SE ecosystem. | |

| Feb 16, 2012 at 18:32 | comment | added | MDMarra | @RebeccaChernoff Because of all of the bazillion technology-related SEs, the nitty-gritty does matter to us. It's not like we're English or Cooking. While I think that keeping certain things standardized among all SEs is a good thing, I think that the trend lately to treat all of them with the same blanket rules without considering the scope or problems for each individual site is just wrong. | |

Minor stylistic changes, Servers & Workstations, FAQ meta-tag
|
| Feb 16, 2012 at 3:58 | comment | added | Rebecca Chernoff Mod | My objections were that the other version was a wall of text in an overwhelming kind of way, and things like - isn't it enough to just say "operating systems", why the need to list out operating systems? IMO, the inline tag css made things more difficult to read and contributed to the wall of text feel. I have nothing specifically against mentioning sister sites. I'd suggest a goal of the scope of your site in an easy to understand manner, not the nitty gritty details. | |

Stripped Full Stops
|
| Feb 15, 2012 at 21:47 | comment | added | Holocryptic | I guess what I'm getting at is what you were alluding to in your disclaimer. What is "easy to understand in 30 seconds"? I've looked at the proposed FAQ again and again, and don't see how it's complicated. | |
| Feb 15, 2012 at 21:45 | comment | added | Holocryptic | Right, I saw that as I was writing the comment. But it is essentially the majority of the change as proposed here. | |
| Feb 15, 2012 at 21:43 | comment | added | Chris S Mod |
@Holocryptic I listed the changes at the bottom, so you wouldn't have to pull out diff. I'll keep it updated with any changes that get merged.

| Feb 15, 2012 at 21:33 | comment | added | Holocryptic | Really, the only difference I'm seeing between this and the proposal that was declined is the removal of the tags. I fail to see how this makes it "easier to understand" | |

Theres the FAQ and the FAQ... And they're different I guess.
|
| Feb 15, 2012 at 20:33 | comment | added | sysadmin1138 Mod | An important point that I didn't know until after being told: The FAQ is a guide for new people, not the basis for topicality decisions. THAT belongs to the faq tag. | |
