There are (almost) no questions from people who wouldn't be described as low rep. Answer the questions you find interesting for their interest. You will eventually get bored wading through the river of crappy questions to find interesting ones and leave. Find another hobby and go spend time on that and cut out the crap in between.

I think that trickle overstated the rate of flow.

@Mark, Please review the (generic) Help centre article on how to ask a good question. In particular point 2 that begins Search and research Server Fault should be your last stop in your quest for an answer.... If the answer to a question is easily found on google then it fails the This question does not show any research part of the tooltip on the downvote button too. I think that (again) we'll have to agree to disagree.

Of course workload is relevant. It's particularly relevant to the first 2 questions you asked. for example if you want to run a database then it's likely you will want it on the SSD which might preclude their use for other stuff.

Despite your protestations your question isn't very good it's vague and lacks detail required to answer it.. You don't provide any information on the expected workload of the system so, as it stands you are asking for opinions and we don't do that. If you provided workload information it may be better but it would then stand a good chance of being a capacity planning question which again we don't do.

If you have an axe to grind then you should open a new meta question and link to the relevant question n main.

IIRC mod edits to locked questions don't get bumped to the front page. A historical lock is easy to apply. I suspect that this would have all been cleaned up except that the events that cause the mod to be come ex interrupted the activity.I'm with @madhatter and would cast s delete vote if I were able.

We used to accept *Panel questions because, perhaps, occasionally a sysadmin would want to install it or interact with it (not actually use it). All that got us was a constant stream of crappier than usual questions. We revisited the *Panel topic and decided that we no longer wanted to accept questions about systems were they are installed. That's were we are now. I don't see a compelling reason to change that. For reference: meta.serverfault.com/search?q=cpanel

Downvotes on meta are people telling you that they disagree - nothing more nothing less.

We don't support cPanel systems. The End .

You misread what Katherine and I said ... 'Review Audits are a waste of time' (for a good reviewer)

It's not that rare - 270 people have them and Katherine has 4 ... Review audit's are a waste of a good reviewers time.

@user121391 Everyone is free to vote as they see fit. Everyone gets to decide by voting.

Closing crap questions is a social good.

There are lots of things that could happen that don't. People could read the site help before posting. People could search the site before posting. People could use Google before posting. People could write interesting, well researched questions but none of that happens either.

Evidence of broken windows theory in action. We once allowed CPanel questions with the intent of gathering Q&A for sysadmins unfortunately all we did was bring in the clueless pointy click crowd. Now we can't get rid of them.
