I guess I'm hoping that the community can avoid a slightly-sneery attitude leaning towards "Here's how you do it properly, not with cPanel". | |

Again, for me it's the distinction between a "cPanel application user" and a "system administrator who is in charge of a server that happens to run cPanel" | |

| Jun 26, 2012 at 13:35 | comment | added | Rob Moir | A fair point. For me, having read your reply here, a better question than "Does it meet some narrow definition of 'on topic' or not" might be "where can people get good answers to their cPanel questions?". Clearly the answer to the first question might well be "yes, sometimes it is on topic" but if the answer to the second question is always going to be "not here" then its something of a moot point. | |
