| Dec 18, 2014 at 0:20 | comment | added | Shog9 | This help center topic is as much about y'all coming to an agreement and being on the same page as to what the site's about as it is for helping new users, @yoonix. | |
| Dec 12, 2014 at 19:42 | comment | added | user143703 | @ShaneMadden I have nothing against the proposal, I just don't think it's going to make much of a difference. I'm all for trying though. | |
| Dec 12, 2014 at 19:01 | comment | added | Shane Madden StaffMod | @AndrewB Yeah, going with Chris's reasoning here that we can close the stuff that needs closed accurately without it. We can definitely adjust the close reasons after the fact if it turns out we do need it. | |
| Dec 12, 2014 at 18:59 | comment | added | Shane Madden StaffMod | @yoonix Yes, there are absolutely some people who ignore the site's scope and the prompts they're given when asking their first question (though given the stats, I'd say it's more like 30-40% and not 95%). Obviously, community moderation needs to deal with that. But I'm not sure why that's a negative about this proposal? Yes, it won't force people to read it any more than the current one does, so it's a net of no change for people who weren't going to read it anyway. | |

| Dec 12, 2014 at 7:56 | comment | added | Andrew B | I think the help page "in a business environment" text is a good way of rephrasing it. I note that the new "not professional" replacement text doesn't reference this, but I'm assuming the intent is that these questions should be migrated instead of closed? | |
| Dec 12, 2014 at 7:55 | comment | added | user143703 | I wish I could believe that more than 5% of the new visitors to this site bothered to even read the help section. Although there is verbiage stating that this is for professionals, the very first picture you see (immediately next to the words about professionals) says Anybody can post a question. The supermajority of the questions I see are either beginners venturing beyond Gnome on their Ubuntu for the first time and following some online tutorial and not receiving instant results or someone looking for a free architectural review instead of hiring a professional to do it. | |
| Dec 12, 2014 at 2:34 | comment | added | Shane Madden StaffMod | @sysadmin1138 Yeah, that's a good point - I wonder if we can find two of those to collapse. | |
| Dec 12, 2014 at 2:33 | comment | added | sysadmin1138 Mod | One quibble, and it's a UX thing, but lists of more than 5 get tl;dr reactions far more than 5-point lists do. We have one in the current list, so we've broken that rule before. | |
| Dec 12, 2014 at 1:39 | comment | added | Shane Madden StaffMod | @MichaelHampton I'd say for dev environments, it's really not "managing systems", so that leaves it off-topic.. but if someone's setting up some Vagrant stuff for developing their Chef infrastructure, we want it, so it's a hard line to draw. | |
| Dec 12, 2014 at 0:13 | comment | added | Michael Hampton Mod | Hm, the stuff about development environments went missing. What are we doing with that? Accepting every XAMPP question? | |
