Unsupported setup, is it a valid question?

There's a gray wasteland between serverfault and superuser, where these kinds of topics dwell. It doesn't belong on SU because it's a business environment. It doesn't belong on SF because it's such a …

Negative vote & comments

The point value of a downvote is negligible compared to the rep increases you'll get through normal use of the site. There's been commentary throughout the life of the Exchange on how to get rid of do …

Why was my question regarding premium domains closed?

It's possible that the question's validity could be interpreted a bit more generously on https://webmasters.stackexchange.com/ - though that's just me spitballing. Sorting through the pricing & marke …

Are troubleshooting questions a good thing?

As a realist, primarily, I feel that there's no way to actually stop this. If the answerer is willing to participate in this back-and-forth manner - there's no real harm done, that I can see. It's not …

Is there an age cut off on the questions you want migrated from SO?

I think I'm with 1138 on this one. Thinking back, really, it's the issues with dinosaur systems that I really NEED the most help with. And to the business, the fact that it's old and decrepit only mea …

a moderator closed my question is any one watching.

What often causes confusion is the perception that somehow your question is being judged as 'not important' - please trust this is not the case. Your (unpaid, volunteer) readers (the users of serverfa …

mod_rewrite/htaccess/etc. questions - migrate?

Glad to see a Webmasters mod here! If migrating a few over will help seed the site, and land a few Google searches there, maybe you can pick some questions and list em here? Otherwise it sounds like …

Sick of "unprofessional" questions

My suspicion is that this is working as intended. I feel that the entry-level questions are good practice for people new to the field to answer. If a question is relevant to SF, but completely unint …

Should we try to eliminate password reset questions?

I just wanted to address the idea of whether or not SF "should or should not" cover password resetting topics. Absolutely yes. It's important, and it's high-value content for that situation where an …

Why downvote a question or answer on server fault?

After letting my brain mull this over for a bit, I think I've only downvoted a question when the person responds rudely to comments & suggestions intended to help them improve their question.

A plea to reopen

I think there's a HUGE market for a career/resume stackexchange site. Honestly, if I weren't so tied up with projects, I'd probably look into getting it started. That being said, the question (sadly …

Possible voting options

I've only seen people lamenting that their own site is migrating too many questions. So far, I've not seen any complaints about receiving too many, and Gnoupi said SU wasn't seeing a problem. This m …

Networking - always an SF topic?

This fits along the lines of SF and SU having entirely different scopes, and decidedly NOT covering different complexity levels. If SU is about individual systems, and the troubleshooting of that des …
