| Feb 1, 2015 at 14:30 | comment | added | Reaces | @JennyD Thank you for the welcoming :). I'd like to think that most people in our profession that care enough to answer on these forums have some modicum of reason and tend to lean towards the logical. As for my answers... I often miss something or don't know something, which at times makes my answers not entirely correct, but learning is a two way street :) | |
| Feb 1, 2015 at 8:11 | comment | added | Jenny D | @Reaces While it's true that you are new to the community, I'd like to welcome you. You've been a voice of reason. (I can't say much about your answers on the main site; I'm a unix person and usually run the other way when somebody asks about Windows...) | |
| Jan 8, 2015 at 17:09 | comment | added | Nathan C | A bit off topic, but the sole answer to that question was simply "No" and currently has 10 upvotes. I think the answer spoke for itself in that case...as did the downvotes. | |
| Jan 8, 2015 at 14:27 | comment | added | Reaces | @KatherineVillyard What I'm actually trying to imply with that sentence is that we can't help him, because his problem isn't technical. His problem is that he wants to do something that he shouldn't be able to do and shouldn't even be thinking about doing. What I would like to say is "I hope I never have the misfortune of working with you, please go away". But I can't so I'm calling it a "Business problem/Personnel problem", meaning I would hope that HR / his employer finds out and deals with it. | |
| Jan 8, 2015 at 14:23 | comment | added | Katherine Villyard | I disagree that the question about resetting his colleague's password (serverfault.com/questions/656665/…) is about a business/personnel problem. It's about circumventing his employer's security policies. The fact that he's a domain admin doesn't change that. | |
| Jan 8, 2015 at 12:44 | comment | added | Reaces | @MadHatter I think the basic problem is that for a lot of questions the person asking them is the problem. If we had a line to a more sane person in charge of that person we could fix everything and everyone would be happy! | |
| Jan 8, 2015 at 12:42 | comment | added | MadHatter | This is one of the first solutions I've felt I can get behind. "This question shows a lack of basic research" deals very nicely with half of what I used to use "not professional" for. I'm not quite so convinced by the other reason (I'm still holding out for "your question is bad because what you're doing is bad, and you should feel bad", but I know I won't get it!). | |
