Make job ads related to professional system administration on serverfault for the default visitor
@user2284570 No. When employers create a listing, they have drop-downs asking them what type of role it is (front end web developer? mobile developer? system administrator?), and technologies they use (programming languages, OS platforms), in addition to the tag set that you can see.

@user2284570 That post you're referencing is from 2011, and is way, way older than the current targeting setup, which was introduced this year. When an employer lists a job, they can flag it as being a sysadmin job, which will target it at Server Fault users. Again, your Stack Overflow activity (10x the rep you have here, so it's a reasonable assumption for the system to make that you're a developer and not a sysadmin) and lack of local sysadmin jobs are the reason you're seeing programming jobs, not neglect of the sysadmin community in the careers product.

@user2284570 That may be true for you, due to location and lack of local sysadmin jobs - but, again, that's a consequence of what listings are available to show you. If your complaint is that careers is programming-dominated, I'll refer you to Will's answer on that question - there are specific features in the product to help businesses target sysadmins for jobs, but the product is focused more heavily on developers because the audience of Stack Overflow is far, far bigger.

Abrupt change in moderation staff?
@BigHomie I think Shog's original intent was a temporary diamond removal to stop the closings from continuing to happen so he could get a chance to understand what was going on.

@BigHomie Right - so all I'm saying is that they shouldn't have been swept up in this specific cleanup and gotten that specific close comment - and I feel like if we had talked about how to target this cleanup on meta before pulling the trigger on it, we'd have been able to find and catch ones like those that shouldn't have been caught.
