Proposed Question: What RFCs should a IT Professional know by number?

I don't think it's a good idea because the answer is "No one", or at best, "it depends". First, this is useless knowledge than can be easily retrieved via a quick search. I absolutely hate the idea …

Can anything be done about mods robo-rejecting edits that are objective improvements?

In many cases, it was one mod rejecting those edits (me) and one "normal" user, as far as I know. I reject edits on questions that are old and that don't correct important factual errors (and always …

Is ServerFault the best place for Cloud Computing Platform Questions?

I don't see any value in such a site, it would just add to the fragmentation and evermore specialization of Stack Exchange. This might be acceptable or even desirable for SO, but here it would be coun …

The first one might be a duplicate to some others, but if you edit it and write a good answer, we might use this as a canonical target for this kind of question, which appears semi-regular from new us …

Excessive moderation? Closing questions as: "Ask vendor"

You are asking for a market overview, which I consider a product recommendation question. It has also other problems: It will be outdated quickly. This is one of the most important reasons why we d …

Getting downvotes on personal ground

Nothing really. If someone is targeting you with a pattern of downvotes, moderators get notified and can act upon this, but unless that detector triggers, there is nothing you (or anyone, including mo …

Can I ask about installation of an operating system distribution over a server?

Without knowing the specifics, I guess it might have a good chance of being about an unsupported environment. If the vendor only supports FooOS on it's devices and you want to to run a strange port …

Would it be ok to create a second SF account in order to ask questions which cannot be relat...

Is this the correct attitude for a Server Fault moderator?

First off, while I wasn't particularly friendly towards Kaye, I don't think I was really rude. I was direct and concise and I don't tend to sugarcoat things. That said: if we are not experienced …

Marking a old question answered when the OP told it's?

Moderators can't mark an answer as accepted and I wouldn't want to do it on behalf of a another user. See Allow moderators to mark flagged question as answered and the various duplicates. In short: …
