We are strict on the rules because we are not the help desk for the internet. Our site has a very clear-cut [scope](http://serverfault.com/help/on-topic): Professional system administration. As the question you linked was originally written, this sounded much more like a developer who wanted a way to distribute their latest product to the world and this is *not* our topic. The rewritten question made the system-administration aspect more clear, so it got reopened - I am still not convinced SF is the best place for this, though.
