| Mar 31, 2017 at 0:44 | comment | added | Jeter-work | @SuperAdmin So you have a question from a lab setup, hobbyist environment, no vendor support. That question lines up with superuser stack. I know I read both stacks. (And unix/Linux and stack overflow too). The proper answer to your question in server fault environment is, "Punt, call vendor support." That's why you have it. In superuser, you'll find a lot of like-minded people, some of whom may have worked through what you're working on. | |
| Mar 30, 2017 at 13:38 | comment | added | EEAA Mod | OK folks, look at trueCamelType's answer above. He calls out the chief difference between SF and its sister sites. SF is by professional admins, for professional admins. Now, if someone comes along and asks a well-researched, well-articulated, reasonably-scoped question and they're not a professional, the question will usually stick around. In the OP's case, though, the question had several strikes against it, one of which was that it was not a professional environment. The others are 1) Mis-use of VMware licenses and 2) Lack of thorough troubleshooting into the problem. | |

| Mar 30, 2017 at 5:54 | comment | added | user9517 | @DuncanXSimpson Why do you think my comment was directed at you? It was quite specifically aimed at one person who is not you. Unless of course you think you fit into the class of 'help vampire'. | |
| Mar 30, 2017 at 4:48 | comment | added | Dessa Simpson | 1. the fact of having a right to something. Seems to not be what we're looking for. 2. the amount to which a person has a right. Still not right. 3. the belief that one is inherently deserving of privileges or special treatment. This must be what you're talking about, but I don't see how either of us believe we deserve extra privileges or special treatment. | |

| Mar 30, 2017 at 0:32 | comment | added | Dessa Simpson | @Thetimehascome Everybody has to learn about their subject somehow. I've been on SE for a few years and have very few contributions, because in most situations others beat me to it or I can't answer the question. But I help where I can. So am I "entitled" just because I'm limited in my capacity to help? | |
| Mar 28, 2017 at 11:46 | comment | added | user121391 | @Thetimehascome Where do you see entitlement? I only see valid questions, both here on meta and on the linked original question. I think it would be fairer (and better for increasing quality posts) to judge actual questions, instead of judging people based on their imaginary internet points - especially if they are learning and trying to better themselves and others. | |
| Mar 27, 2017 at 17:22 | comment | added | SuperAdmin | @Thetimehascome 90% of that is high school. Now that I actually can apply things I've learned I've started helping Network Engineering, and Security. I figured there's no point in deleting old posts. | |
| Mar 27, 2017 at 17:20 | comment | added | user9517 | @SuperAdminI looked on your SO profile - your contributions there are less than stellar too. I'm sticking with my opinion of you. | |
| Mar 26, 2017 at 11:34 | comment | added | user9517 | I'm afraid that the sense of entitlement you display sickens me. You haven't helped this community at all. 3 votes, 0 edits, 0 flags 0 answers, 4 questions pfft! You are nothing more than a help vampire. For me you (ab)use of educational licences immediately puts you out of the business environment. 'SuperAdmin' - double pfft. | |
| Mar 26, 2017 at 6:06 | comment | added | SuperAdmin | I appreciate your comments but this is actually entirely on my own, other than an educational license this has nothing to do with schooling. I don't know everything about networking but I would think that a community such as this would value educating it's members. I can update my post based on comments. That's why were here right? We need other people's guidance? Regardless, I'm more curious about guideline quoted above as stated by the title of this post. | |
