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 …

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 …

I'm starting to wonder if this is something that needs to be hammered out more fully here on Meta. A lot of people seem to think that SU exists to answer the questions that are too basic (or in the e …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

I think the question could live quite happily on either site, since it's a shared 2008/7 feature, and either community probably has a fair shake at having the same knowhow. But then again, I'm comfor …

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 …

Wow. Just...wow.

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …
