How do you define "sysadmin related"?
You're raising multiple points, but I'll try to get at a couple of them before my attention span flitters off elsewhere.
SF was not intended to be a messageboard. Of course people have a need to co …

Perception of purpose
Kyle already nailed 90% of what I wanted to say. As for the rest... Every professional was a beginner at some point. I like the [beginner] tag for this purpose, because it lets the poster (or edito …

Fundamentals tag
Beginner/fundamental tag is useful in allowing people to just ignore it (rather than voting to pitch it to SU inappropriately). I think it would also be of great value to a ... beginner! I would've …

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.

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 …

Sick of "unprofessional" questions
My suspicion is that this is working as intended.

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 …

Ethical Questions About Hackers, Cheaters, and Lusers
The kinds of questions you mention are good news for me, as an overburdened smalltime sysadmin.

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …
