There's been discussion on chat for quite a while now about creating a canonical question along the lines of:
Q: Our last guy who was our expert in system XYZ left, HALP?
A: Hire someone.
Q: I'm not a systems admin and I broke something, HALP?
A: Hire someone.
Q: I'm the sole IT guy and they're asking me to do XYZ, HALP?
A: Hire someone.
i.e. a whole category of questions where the correct professional response seems to be "Hire a consultant / replacement because you need a professional sysadmin / expert in XYZ".
Related: Unqualified "professionals"
If not a canonical question, then a section in the Help Center.
Comments?
Edit: the new close reasons are looking like a good way to go with this.
