What can we do to fix the "Reasonable management practices" close reason?
@Iain That's what I'm going for with the first item :)

What can we do to fix the "Reasonable management practices" close reason?
I feel like this overlaps a bit with installation, configuration or diagnostic help; sufficient information about the configuration and environment to reproduce it, and attempted solutions kinda covers "lack of basic research" and without a clear problem statement are not useful to other readers kinda covers "isn't going to be of value to the IT community". But I like the direction you're going with this. Do you think we should also add a "wrong site" reason in addition to this one?

Reasonable business information technology management practices
So that we're not derailing this question, I've started a new one for "how can we fix this thing": meta.serverfault.com/questions/7850/…

Proposed change to Server Fault guidelines, round 2
@TheCleaner Yeah, I still don't like it, but figured it was better to just go for it for now, see how it works in the wild, and adjust -- instead of spending another month agonizing over the wording. Hopefully shouldn't take us long to figure out something better.

@RobM This post has been up for two weeks and was tagged as featured so that it was appearing on the front page, so you really can't argue that this has been going down behind the community's back. And yes, +18 / -0, where the post was when we decided to pull the trigger on the changes, is a "clear majority". You're assuming that the whole community agrees with your position (and a vocal minority certainly does), but you're wrong.

@RobM And you may now refer to me as Dear Leader. A North Korea comparison? You might be taking this a little too seriously. Let's look at it this way: what horrible consequences are you worried about from this? Replacing "professional" with "business environment" is a pretty minor change.

@MadHatter The point of this being reposted was to reset the feedback based on the current revision (and get more eyes on that version, as some people wouldn't have seen the edits). As you can see from the vote totals, it's +18 / -2 right now after almost two weeks (and it was +18 / -0 at the start of the week, collecting the two downvotes most recently). There are certainly some people in the community who still disagree, but a clear majority is willing to give this a shot.

@MadHatter The community's clearly willing to give this a shot, I'm sorry that you won't.

@Ward As I mentioned above, Chris made a good argument for removing it. But if it turns out we do miss it, we can adjust. We were completely overusing that reason, I think we can do better.
