@SLD Feel free to vote to close (or edit to fix) questions that are amateurish, badly written, etc. -- The very first line of the Server Fault FAQ is Server Fault is for Information Technology Professionals needing expert answers related to managing computer systems in a professional capacity. -- A professional tone is an important component of questions (and answers) on the main site (which is why we scrub rants, profanity, etc. when they show up). A good rule of thumb is: Ask questions you would ask a colleague. Answer as if advising a client.

| Jan 28, 2013 at 18:16 | comment | added | SLD | I am a fully fledged Plesk hater, but I'm stuck with it for now. VPS procurement was somewhat out of my hands and subject to a strict budget. Why is a professional tone so important, though? The question was concise and contained the relevant detail, but not flippant or inappropriate. We're not trying to win business from each other here, so I don't see the need for full-on formality. I've read a thousand questions that were amateur, badly written, massively downvoted but were still answered and not closed. | |

| Jan 28, 2013 at 17:24 | comment | added | voretaq7 Mod | This would be my biggest problem with your question, @SLD , (and I'm the guy who defended plesk/cpanel/etc. questions) -- This is a Plesk question at its core ("How does your product work?"), and the proper venue for it is really Plesk support (It's like asking what the default password for a Cisco router is -- why not ask Cisco?). That said, the information is useful for people who get stuck with a Plesk environment. I certainly felt the answer upvote-worthy even though I'm not a fan of the question :) | |
