What times do current moderators, and moderator candidates, generally feel are their most pr...

What should we do with "coolest server names"

If it were my choice, I'd just hit the delete button on it here and be done with it. Yes, by today's rules it is off topic both here and on Stack Overflow. I don't feel it adds any useful information …

Getting a bit too snarky

Equivalent tag to 'homework': 'do-my-job-for-me'?

I say no. Tags are a means of categorising questions, and in my opinion this isn't helping anybody find the questions they're looking for. Edit: I'd actually go as far to say that homework and do-my- …

I was merely quoting Jeff Atwood (one of the founders of Stack Exchange) who will often be caught spouting don't migrate crap, and I happen to strongly agree with his opinion. The reason I voted down …

Retag or synonym Corruption tag

There were only 2 corrupted, so I manually changed them to corruption. The other tags contain only a few questions, and I think there's few enough that they can be handled manually. I'm all for using …

Where is an appropriate place to ask for server-oriented product recommendations?

We don't really like shopping recommendations on Stack Exchange. Not because we're stuck up and mean, but because they really are very localised to a specific point in time, and personal opinion or bi …

Strange Entries in Tag RSS Feeds

I reckon the <updated> tag gets updated when the Community user randomly pokes old questions, like it did that question at the time it says it was updated.

What's the worst question you've ever seen on SF.com?

In my opinion, these 2 questions (which are some of the most viewed on Server Fault) are awful. The Coolest Server Names Wiki: Irritating phrases you are subjected to in “the enterprise” I was thr …

Is it possible to see who upvoted or downvoted a reply?
