I'm getting more than a little tired of anything that can possibly be asked on some other site being 
marked as Off-Topic here. Since when is user account management off topic for SF?

[This one][1], for example, may not be a great question by any measure, but I'd hardly consider user account management to be off-topic.

Another example, [concerning a broken FTP service][2], has 2 Off-Topic close votes. And the comment suggestion was to go to AskUbuntu?

Simply because a question CAN be asked on another site is NOT a valid reason to close it as OT here and send them elsewhere.

Update 1:

[This one is definitely on-topic for SF, yet got sent to StackOverflow.][3] If it can be solved with Aptitude or a config file change, that's perfectly reasonable for ServerFault.

[Monitoring is definitely On-Topic][4]. [As is Kerberos Administration][5]. Both should've been closed as NC for Shopping, not merely Off-Topic as that gives the impression that ALL questions about those topics are not welcome here.

If we don't even bother to select the appropriate close reason when VTC'ing, how are the users going to learn?

Update 2:

[And another one that's abusing 'Off-Topic'][6]. [And yet another][7]. While perhaps not be terribly constructive on SF or well-written, we are the right place.

And how is troubleshooting an [RSA Key Authentication deployment][8] off-topic?
