I was recently blocked from serverfault for 1 month. Apparently for asking questions (gasp).

I have asked 5 questions over a period of many months, and all have been closed/deleted (all unfairly in my opinion) ostensibly by "community" (read moderators). 

The latest question to run afoul of the moderators was:
https://serverfault.com/questions/491250/whm-cpanel-alternatives "WHM/cPanel alternatives"

The closing note on the question says
> We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or specific expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion.

But my question doesn't solicit debate or opinion. I ask about advantages and disadvantages of different platforms, and my question specifically states
> Hard, objective differences are fantastic

When I took this up with the moderator who sent me the suspension notice, I was basically told
> Your question is essentially "Do my research for me"

and
> You have never actually answered anyone elses questions

As far as explanations go, this is ridiculous.
> **Your question is essentially "Do my research for me"**

I see the question as a "share your expertise" request. If everybody had to do everything themselves and weren't allowed to ask anyone else, then why would the world need a StackExchange?

Isn't that what StackExchange is for? To ask for help from experts?

If not, then why does ServerFault About Us page https://serverfault.com/about say
> Ask questions, get answers

and
> This site is all about getting answers. 

How is my question different from the sample question on the About Us page
> I'd like to know if I were to add additional drives to an existing Raid 10 if this would increase the speed of the entire array?

How?
> **You have never actually answered anyone elses questions**

Well, yeah, I am a newbie. Not in a position to answer questions yet as I am trying to learn right now.

That being said, I have actually answered a question here https://serverfault.com/questions/284015/varnish-nginx-apache-apc-meteor-cpanel-wordpress-on-a-single-server-any/284167 My answer was converted to a comment by a moderator.

And I have answered questions at sister sites including StackOverflow.

But putting all that aside, let's go back to About Us page https://serverfault.com/about 

> Ask questions, get answers, no distractions  
> Get answers to practical, detailed questions  
> Find a question to answer, or ask your own

The whole "sales pitch" is "Ask questions". There is no mention of "Go, answer questions".

Now, it's well understood that someone has to answer the questions asked (although, technically, not necessary). And I'm not advocating for everyone to become a moocher.

But it's ridiculous to ask or expect EVERYONE to answer question on EVERY topic (i.e. every StackExchange site). If you are an expert in something you try to help out there; if you are just starting off with something, you'd obviously ask way more than you can answer.

**So, I ask**  
Is ServerFault just for moderators? Obviously, I'm being dramatic for effect, but the moderators came off as smug, snippy and snobbish, and gave the vibe that they want to keep the site for themselves.
