Community Promotion Ads - 2012
The algorithm that SF uses to tweet Posts needs some tweaking before I could support this... It's generally the worst Questions that get tweeted, not really some I'd prefer to advertise.

Silly Season should not mean crazy voting
"We're participating in [Server Fault] ... to collectively build something great for the community" Ref. My question on adminCount, it's no coincidence that the Answer was posted less than 1 minute later as I already knew the answer but wanted it posted solely for the community's benefit.

People seem to forget, Question and Answer are not for the sole benefit of the Questioner (that's what ExpertSexChange is for). This site is for the community. If the Answer is of no benefit to the community, how should we allow the Question to clutter the knowledge base?

I see the word "optimal" as being just as bad as "best". The person is asking us to do their job for them, or worse doesn't realize what is involved and is blindly asking for any solution. Best and Optimal vary by situation, if there was a silver bullet for everyone then we'd all be using it by now. Asking for solution suggestions is again just as bad because it's a shopping/discussion question. Too Localized seems to fit all of these sorts of Questions just fine; the "correct" Answer will be completely localized to their situation and almost certainly irrelevant to everyone else.

+1 I didn't vote on this one, but would have voted Too Localized. @JohnGardeniers I think you misunderstand the concept of local. In fact, there are two concepts. 1. It might be localized to a particular geographic region. 2. It might be of use to such a minority, edge cases, that it can not be usefully answered for the general case (localized to the situation). I believe this Question falls into the latter. The fine details of the use case will determine if an optimal layout even exists. It might well be the case that any common partitioning is just as good as another.

Does this belong?
It should be Flag Priority, not Weight... Leave it to programmers to mix them up.

Clearing out the crap. We need some people with diamonds next to their name to help out!
Or at least change the "closed" in the title to "merged" so they're easily identified in the search results?

Merge filesystem and filesystems
They'll just syn one to the other, so people can type in whatever they want and it'll all end up in the same pile.

Where to ask complex but home network questions?
I adamantly disagree with "whatever site will get you the right answer". SF definitely has the most knowledge when it comes to networks and will always be the most likely place to get an answer, unless we punt. The FAQ makes "home" question OT with good reason however.

Chat - a plea for moderation
Apparently "Let he without sin throw the first stone" has been reinterpreted to "Let he with sin keep throwing stones until he finds a sympathetic ear and finally gets his way"...

How far do we go with software questions
The FAQ used to differentiate between a problem on a single computer (as is the case in that Question) and problems that affect multiple computers. I think that one could go either way, but you have a point.

Tag Cleanup - Microsoft System Center Suite
@sysadmin1138 in the MS community they're pretty well known by the sc??? acronyms. DPM was it's own product before MS formed the System Center suite (which it looks like they may be disolving now, forming a Cloud Management suite... le sigh) so the "DPM" stuck despite the product having System Center in the title... As long as the two DPM tags get merged/syn I don't really care, except for OCD for consistency.

Where to ask complex but home network questions?
I'm with Rob, if you're taking a business class approach to the situation, I don't care if it's at home or in a business. But to keep the "I can haz Intranetz" people out we really can't let up on the "No Home" verbiage.

Tag Cleanup - Microsoft System Center Suite
@MarkHenderson Yeah, they really should be ms-sc-om, ms-sc-cm, etc. But that's letting form get in the way of function. I got some pretty feverent pushback when I got the "FF" prepended to "TMG"... I'm thinking there would be more pushback on this one.
