The tale of ghost: vmware tag
I don't understand what was the problem with the vmware tag. The hyper-v tag didn't have any similar mass-killing, I hope nobody is working here for the micro$oft.

@HopelessN00b He didn't skiped out. He only made a trivial question. I also didn't take the tour before my first post here (ok, it was an answer and not a question). Systems should be intuitive, beginners mistakes should be self-correctable. If you want many users, you can't made them obligatory to read the manual, even if it is a short and simple manual. The practical taboo on the migrations is irrational!

@MichaelHampton Ok. It could mean, if 3 persons would exist in similar situations, they could migrate questions independent from you (-> you shouldn't take responsibility for that by the mods of the target site)?

What could I do? It is a very inhuman system. Nice talk is useless, harder sentences are also useless, it doesn't matter anything.

He did it, because I didn't give him help! I had helped him on the spot if I could have been migrate his question to SU or to unix SE! I don't have a problem with an elitist site, but I have a problem with a site with braindamaged, irrational limitations (f.e. the near taboo of the migrations - probably nobody knows its real reason, on my opinion, here we could see only low-level rationalizations for that and not the real reason, which probably doesn't exist). But thank you anyways your very humanic reaction :-)

@JourneymanGeek You want a fresh newbie to read hundreds of pages, do a deep investigation before his first question? OMG! Did you ever heard about Parkinson's law?

@JourneymanGeek ...and this is the perfect situation, as in a human structure everybody "knows" that he is doing his task perfectly, and the result is that a good-standing newbie is expelled on a site whose primary goal is to get good-standing newbies here.

@MichaelHampton About the banner: I think you missed the context.

@MichaelHampton Yes, for you, because you know the Hidden Ultimate Secret Why Migrations Should Be Rarest. :-)

@JourneymanGeek I suggest to re-read the latest around 8 comments. Thank you.

Sorry, this is what I could do. :-) Unfortunately, I don't have further access to this question and haven't a backup from that, but I think it would be a good (but not representative) experiment to ask this on SU anonymously. Could you copy-paste the text of the last version of this question here (or into a chat)?

It wasn't crap. It was unclear and offtopic here, but not crap. I even edited it to make its chance better for a migration to SU.

It is about the "please read the small character paragraphs" thing. It can be a strong argument to convince a lawyer, but now it is about to win the subjective decision of a visitor. The SE network now LOST this subjective decision.

1) Not okay, most people is coming here by google, and practically never by the frontpage. 2) If you are on a site first time, to ask a question, and this site tries to convince you to use another site, then you probably won't do it. Why? It is a cost-offer thing. You aren't even sure if SF deserved your attention to give a question to it, then another site referenced by SF surely won't deserve. Yes, this OP in the example question weren't a really pleasant figure, but I think, the system handled his problem very, very badly. His question should have been migrated to superuser on the spot.

Getting downvotes on personal ground
@JennyD Next to that, I didn't made any personal attack. I only asked, if some solution against the phenomenon exists, or not. And I've got the answer, despite nobody formulated it clearly: NO, there is NO solution for the problem. I must tolerate it (and I do).

Getting downvotes on personal ground
@JennyD Unfortunately, it is not the first similar situation. The correlation between my meta posts and my sudden, mysterious downvotes on the main site are very clear. The another explanations about the "attention" I've got, have the serious logic flaw, that these react votes contain mainly downvotes, despite I get on the site much more ups.

@JennyD Yes, it wasn't, but it was very similar. The second half of your comment: exactly.
