| Mar 5, 2013 at 17:19 | comment | added | user11604 | Yet another being needlessly shot down for no apparent reason, unless I'm missing something. | |
| Jan 29, 2013 at 0:41 | comment | added | Magellan | You will note, that it has already been re-opened by folks who understand the nature of the question a little better. | |
| Jan 28, 2013 at 20:40 | comment | added | user11604 | I was just about to open a meta question regarding this, as I'm getting tired of seeing an increasing number of over zealous 'Off Topic' close votes. For example this question is a perfectly good question for SF IMHO. I'd love to hear from the 5 users that voted to close this particular one. | |
| Jan 3, 2013 at 0:54 | comment | added | user144330 | Could you dupe at overflow? I've been closed into submission and am too afraid to speak out. | |

| Dec 27, 2012 at 5:28 | comment | added | TheLQ | I think we need to have an announcement similar to Gaming's "A Close Vote is not a Super-Downvote. Please don't use it as one" meta.gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/5498/… | |

| Dec 23, 2012 at 7:13 | comment | added | voretaq7 Mod | @DennisKaarsemaker The Powers That Be ("People not me") have decreed that "close votes are not supposed to be a death sentence" -- the cycle is supposed to be close, improve, reopen. Of course nothing stops you from fixing a question while it's still open, but if you see a closed question that would be OK with a little work and you have the time by all means edit it and vote to reopen. If you lack the rep to vote to reopen drop the question here, in chat, or flag it for attention after fixing it up. | |
| Dec 23, 2012 at 6:20 | comment | added | mdpc | As for the redirection comment to the askubuntu SE comment, the problem the question started with was that UNDER ubuntu and after adding X something stopped working...why is the ubuntu SE a less better place? | |
| Dec 23, 2012 at 6:12 | comment | added | mdpc | What's the point of having all of these seperate SEs if there is no real separation in the content? Some things are better asked on the appropriate SE group. We have overlapping Ubuntu, Superuser, StackOverflow, and Unix groups shouldn't ServerFault SE be looking at professional System Administration and networking questions and sending things applying to the other groups there? | |
| Dec 23, 2012 at 5:05 | comment | added | Magellan | @EEAA Yeah, it's on-topic there, but certainly on-topic here as that's a sysadmin task. I think we're being WAY too aggressive about what's supposedly on-topic for SF, and we shouldn't be migrating questions elsewhere simply because they happen to be on-topic there too. | |
| Dec 23, 2012 at 3:53 | comment | added | EEAA | In the case of the first Q you mentioned, I voted to migrate to Unix & Linux. | |
| Dec 23, 2012 at 2:48 | comment | added | Ward - Trying Codidact Mod | @DennisKaarsemaker Many questions could be saved by editing or commenting, but those take more time than voting. | |

| Dec 22, 2012 at 22:40 | comment | added | Magellan | Yes, close as NARQ. It is NOT off-topic. | |
| Dec 22, 2012 at 22:00 | comment | added | HopelessN00b | I've said it before and I'll say it again: democracy simply doesn't work. | |
| Dec 22, 2012 at 19:29 | comment | added | Michael Hampton | But you were one of the five to vote to close the first question? | |
| Dec 22, 2012 at 19:19 | comment | added | Dennis Kaarsemaker | As relatively new person here I'm amazed at how many questions get closed that may admittedly need work but are valid questions to me. | |
| Dec 22, 2012 at 19:14 | comment | added | user9517 Mod | For me the first one is very poor NARQ almost, without knowing how people voted the OT could be because 2 people voted that and the others each voted for something different. The second I don't understand why or why the comment either. | |
