That's not asking for a product recommendation, it's asking for help with evaluation.

Where am I asking them to pick a product that will help me?

How? I'm not specifically asking for recommendations, I'm following Jeff's guidelines in asking how to evaluate stuff.

@sysadmin1138 I reworked the question based on this post to remove the product recommendation aspect. Can it now be reopened?

@sysadmin1138 As for the "significantly subjective", surely most answers on this site are highly subjective? As a random example, how about this? Surely one person may think one approach would be "middle ground between being secure and complicated to set-up", and someone else would think another approach would. Why is that acceptable and not asking about pros and cons of products that people have directly worked with? Don't you think you're taking the "subjective" thing a bit too far?

Shouldn't people who posted that "crap" have their karma for asking it revoked?

That question was at +71, and had at least 10 decent quality answers. Frankly, I think there's a good case to be made that such questions should be allowed on this site. How can I go about requesting that this rule be changed?

Are you serious or being sarcastic?

Why is my one a product-recommendation question and subjective, whereas the one it was "a dupe of" was not?
