Jun 27, 2013 at 21:35 comment added voretaq7 Mod @Bryan Some twit defended cPanel as being potentially on-topic a while back and got a lot of people to agree with him - If I ever get my hands on him I'll beat him sensible. (Oh wait, it was me. Yeah - I kinda regret that defense now.) cPanel and the like aren't expressly forbidden topics, but the questions about them tend to be uniformly horrible and asked by non-professionals from a point-and-drool standpoint. IMHO those are properly closed as "Asker isn't a professional"

Jun 27, 2013 at 20:29 comment added Wesley I propose: "Closed as off topic because WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?!"
Jun 27, 2013 at 20:17 comment added user11604 It isn't just a single point, the meta question I posted sited one example. For another example, refer to Dennis' comment to an answer to this question. I agree with him that cpanel should be off topic, but I know of a number of businesses that use cpanel for their hosting needs, and they have pro sys admins that manage it. Strictly speaking by the wording of the help/about pages, cpanel appears to be on topic here. (Managing computer systems in a professional manner).
Jun 27, 2013 at 19:57 comment added user11604 I'm not disagreeing, but the number of questions with close votes relating to developer stacks or desktop software isn't insignificant, they are constantly appearing. Hence why I think it's best to clarify the rules before we think about enforcing them.
Jun 27, 2013 at 19:51 comment added voretaq7 Mod @Bryan Clearing up the ambiguity there is a good idea, but I don't think that single point substantially affects the scope of this question - I will bring up the Dev Tools vs Dev Environment thing in Chat though (I don't think it warrants a meta post since either way to resolve it is a small change, and most of our Meta users are in chat)
Jun 27, 2013 at 19:42 comment added user11604 Without trying to sound negative about what you're proposing (because I'm all for it), I think it would be good to clear up some of the conflicts between the help page and the about page first so we know exactly what is and isn't off topic before we start thinking about changing close reasons.
