| Nov 4, 2013 at 11:49 | comment | added | longneck | I would make it two separate sentences. My eyes skipped right past the semi-colon, treating it like a comma. Not exactly the message you were going for. | |
| Nov 2, 2013 at 23:51 | comment | added | Michael Hampton Mod | One minor change: "questions regarding end-user or enthusiast usage are off-topic" - remember we're supposed to be rejecting the question, not the user. | |
| Nov 1, 2013 at 20:41 | comment | added | voretaq7 Mod | @sysadmin1138 There's actually a link in the current one as well, I just didn't clean it up when I pasted it here (I grabbed the displayed text rather than the markdown) | |
| Nov 1, 2013 at 20:17 | comment | added | sysadmin1138 Mod | And I especially like the link to the help-center, high quality add, there. | |
| Nov 1, 2013 at 18:07 | comment | added | voretaq7 Mod | @ChrisS I may keep that phrasing, it looked sounded weird when I was reading it in the revised text though | |
| Nov 1, 2013 at 17:58 | comment | added | Basil | Another thing to consider: sometimes professional sysadmins have to ask the same question that a novice would if they're working on something they don't have expertise on. A linux admin learning storage, for example. | |
| Nov 1, 2013 at 17:57 | comment | added | colealtdelete | Definitely prefer this over the current. | |
| Nov 1, 2013 at 17:49 | comment | added | EEAA | Great change IMHO. | |
| Nov 1, 2013 at 17:49 | comment | added | Chris S Mod | I kind of like the "The best advice we can give" phrasing, but otherwise very much like the revised close reason. | |
