Your answer was downvoted just one point possibly to just show that it was insecure, but you could state a disclaimer; "it's not secure, but do it that way if you still want to do it" to prevent such downvote. | |
| Oct 5, 2022 at 16:29 | comment | added | Ray Butterworth | Yes, I'm not even claiming that my answer didn't deserve a downvote. But that's my point here. Neither the question nor my answer were directly related to what this site is all about, while the other answers were concerned with that, and so much so that they ended up not answering the question. I find it amusing that this situation actually makes sense in this context. | |
| Oct 5, 2022 at 15:44 | comment | added | yagmoth555 Mod | Like Ward stated, the OP didnt upvote your answer nor marked it as answered, which by itself is a problem. (which make the downvote hurt more as the OP didnt gave the point associated with the answer). To talk the downvote, please note that the most upvoted answer try to dissuade the OP to do that, as if the user dont get root access than it's maybe because is IT team dont want them to do that. (To note it, I dont delete such comment even if it's a thanks comment, as it leave a trace that it answered the OP, even if he forgot to note the answer) | |
