Mis-closed question: I am a sys admin, this topic is "on topic", and I did perform research
@EEAA That's the second guy in a week who lashed out about us attacking their character when we weren't... Maybe it's a new "thing"?

what do you do when a serverfault moderator posts negative, ad hominem comments on your question?
Only moderators can see deleted comments. Deleted posts can be seen by their OP, Mods, and users over 10k.

@MichaelHampton "ad hominem" is attacking someone's character instead of responding to their logical criticism. A simple example would be someone criticizing your argument, and respond with "well, you're ugly". Unfortunately jxqz is using the term incorrectly. He could have tried a "no true scotsman" argument, that you were dismissing his problem on account of impurity - which would be vaguely accurate, though "don't do that" is a valid response to some questions here.

@MDMarra It was a snarky retort to Michael's comment, prototypical of the "Just give me teh codez" questions.

What questions are on topic for ServerFault? What is the right thing to do if I asked an off-topic question?
3-Click rule of Web Design: When people are looking for something they'll only click 3 times before they get frustrated and quit looking. You have to burn 2 click just to find the Help Center...

"Go .. and think about what you've done" - The whole office just heard me laughing at that. I think you're ready to settle down and raise kids.

Some kind of appeal process for questions marked duplicate?
The Answers below are preferred, especially Nathan's. But you can always Flag a Question and explain what's going on too.

+1 That first line... I honestly feel bad, but 9/10 you aren't going to be the solution anyway.

Should we approve edits that remove chatty anecdotes from answers?
+1 I've never wasted so much time as trying to whittle down a 22 page forum post to the 17 sentences of relevant content I'm after.

Community Promotion Ads - 2014
Additional, these seem to be sites you are affiliated with. Trying to promote sites you are affiliated with requires minimal disclosure per the help center, and seems spamy regardless.
