Why was my question on high-performance-networking put on hold?

I'm going to be extremely blunt, because it's after midnight here and I'm cranky: In short what's wrong with your question is that instead of including all of this relevant information that you decide …

Should my question or the proposal be reopened?

I don't believe so: Your question isn't really "off-topic", though probably better for SU as Zoredache mentioned but it's been answered and as it's also something that can be answered by a few seconds …

Shopping Question? Why?

The question you asked (Why is my question a shopping type of question?) has already been thoroughly answered by Mark Henderson, so I'm going to address the question you didn't ask -- How can I ask th …

Why can one continue to downvote a closed question?

I partially agree with the sentiment here (once it's closed there's no reason to keep piling on downvotes just because they're free), but I think that's a human problem - not a technical one. I beli …

Question closed by moderator on assumption that it was 'home stuff' which is incorrect!

As Scott already pointed out, this was a community closure, not a moderator closure -- five users, for whatever reasons they had, felt that your question did not meet the scope of topicality defined i …

Can I withdraw questions?

Nope. You may delete your question (the closest thing we have to withdrawing it), or leave it "on hold" (converts to "closed" automatically after 5 days), but honestly your question, while "primarily …

Should poorly researched, basic, but answerable questions be closed?

My two cents: I think there are two types of questions at play here: Basic, Unresearched & Not Valuable questions ("Hey you guyses! I'm admining a Linux box! How do I show what programs are running!" …

The reason for closing my question about a VNC server problem is false

This really strikes me as a fringe question at best -- If your question were about creating the template, or deploying the template it would certainly be on-topic for Server Fault, but your question i …

What makes this question “not real”?

Hmm. . . Your question as originally phrased was basically "$_TUTORIAL told me to do X in part 1, and Y in part 2, why'd it do that?", which is why it got stomped on -- the only way to reasonably an …

How to decide where is the line between StackOverflow and ServerFault

I closed your question as off-topic for one simple reason: You posted essentially the same question on Stack Overflow and Server Fault. All you did for your question here was trim the code out (and i …

Closed as duplicate in error?

As TheCleaner pointed out, this is "too localized" for Server Fault. Since we don't know what your company does (the advice for a medical services company or DoD contractor will be substantially diff …

This is really three questions: Is it acceptable to edit a question that got closed before any answers were accumulated? Absolutely. To be blunt, if it has no answers the question was probably clos …
