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.

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 …

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
