Are cpanel questions really 'professional sysadmin' related?
I don't think you should discount volunteering carte blanche as off topic. I do plenty of volunteer work for a couple of charities, and I'd expect questions about those environments to be on topic here.

Personal pet peeve of mine is when someone says they're running a "cpanel server". No, you're not. You're running a Linux server that happens to have cpanel installed.

Why was my question considered not acceptable for Server Fault?
@TomWijsman - I fixed that typo (hopefully that was the one you were thinking about.

@EvanCarroll - Votes are placed not because we like or dislike a certain question or answer. They are placed because a question or answer is or isn't good or on-topic.

@EvanCarroll - also, don't concentrate on REP. You'll drive yourself nuts if you do. Just concentrate on the content of your questions and answers, and rep will follow.

@EvanCarroll Umm no. That's all I have to say about that.

@EvanCarroll - Though we hope users have good reasons for issuing down-votes, we don't require a valid reason. That said, there are algorithms in place that detect and act on abuse of the voting system. Those wouldn't be applicable here, though.

Is serverfault.com becoming slower?
I used to see that sstatic domain issue, but haven't seen it in six months or so.

Question closed as "off topic"
That's a good reminder, @MarkHenderson. I'll make a concerted effort to leave explanatory note along with close votes.

The blog post you cite could be used to support either of our viewpoints. In this instance, I'm frankly sick of thinking about it so I'll let it go. I still maintain, though, that sentences-long section headings are problematic on many levels. If this person wants to continue using them, so be it. The community will do their thing and munge answers into the format they prefer.

I clearly do not have any gripe about his content. There is nothing personal going on here. The edit button is there for a reason- myself and several others feel the formatting could use some help. So we helped.

If we were used to seeing sentences-long section headers around here, perhaps it would be less of an issue. But no one else here does that and as such, it's very jarring at first sight and then continues to be distracting while reading the post. If the community prefers to see answers written in a certain way, that's what the edit button is for. I may be wrong, but from this meta QA, there are more than a few of us that think his markup is distracting.

Well this is turning into an arms race. He's reverting edits that myself and several others have made to his answers, putting the inappropriate formatting back in place. Example1, Example2, Example3. Perhaps an email from a mod is in order?
