We should bring back the "question must show a minimal understanding" close reason
The original intent seems to perfectly fit our requirement. youtube.com/watch?v=fUspLVStPbk

What posts get deleted, and why?
>
Deletion by 10K users is not very frequent on either site
- there is a good reason for that, you have hidden the UI in plain sight. When you find it, it is very difficult to use. For example it does not hide stuff that you have already voted on so it becomes an exercise in self flagellation and most people give up. I even raised the issue on mSE and it got ignored and merged into something completely different. So mission accomplished from your side I guess

If you look at where people who ask questions have most rep on SE then the last time I checked >60% of the questions on SF came from people who would identify themselves as Developers/DevOPs (primary rep on SO). ~10% come from people with primary accounts elsewhere on SE. The remainder are primary accounts on SF though some significant proportion of that remainder is low rep accounts that are likely to be developers who just haven't used SO though. So youe you're right.

@Trisped: Yes, for SE imposed UI reasons we're limited to 5.

@Steve The real problem is that most people who ask questions don't want to be educated. They want someone else to do the thinking for them from reading the logs and error messages right up to a full blown implementation of whatever it takes to solve their issue. If you don't provide that they get all salty.

Honeypotting Serverfault for questions that should not be asked! Should this stop?
I don't believe a graduated site has ever been shut down. To get to the point of being shut down you have to get to very low levels of questions which even without the cPanel stuff isn't likely to happen on SF. You are flogging a dead donkey, honestly give up you're becoming a troll.

Sadly it's going to take a long time for our google rankings for cPanel to diminish, personally It can't be too quick as most (if not all) of the questions we get regarding systems it is installed on are terrible and make the internet worse for being asked.

Many old questions getting additional proftpd/vsftpd tags
@mdpc The purpose of the push to the front page is community oversight. Imagine the spam that would get edited n if noone saw the changes.
