| May 6, 2016 at 7:11 | comment | added | Ron Maupin | @DavidPostill, apparently, I made a mistake on that one, but I don't have the power to migrate; I leave that up to the duly elected moderators, I suggested the user try Super User, but it is up to the user to read what is on-topic for a site. I didn't get that the question was looking for a software recommendation, and I do point people to softwarerecs.stackexchange.com and hardwarerecs.stackexchange.com when I see that is what they want. I think the point is that the NE moderators want to be able to ask to move questions with no answers worth preserving. | |
| May 6, 2016 at 6:52 | comment | added | DavidPostill Mod | @RonMaupin Wireless Network Locator Don't forget this one. You commented to the user it was suitable for SU. And so it got cross posted. Wireless Network location finder. Unfortunately it is off-topic on SU 1/ phones are off-topic 2/ software recs are off-topic. Result: one annoyed user (read the comments on his question). | |
| May 5, 2016 at 23:03 | comment | added | Ron Maupin | I found 1 migrated and 9 closed questions that seem to meet the quality of what I see on Super User: superuser.com/q/1073563 networkengineering.stackexchange.com/q/30166 networkengineering.stackexchange.com/q/30169 networkengineering.stackexchange.com/q/30138 networkengineering.stackexchange.com/q/30102 networkengineering.stackexchange.com/q/30104 networkengineering.stackexchange.com/q/30094 networkengineering.stackexchange.com/q/30068 networkengineering.stackexchange.com/q/30053 networkengineering.stackexchange.com/q/30040 | |
| May 5, 2016 at 22:42 | comment | added | Ron Maupin | Primarily, I think only questions involving home networking and consumer-grade equipment (both are explicitly off-topic on NE) get pointed to Super User. These types of questions come into NE every day, and they are put on hold, and, usually, the OP is recommended to try to ask the question on Super User. If the question involves business networking and server, the OP is directed to Server Fault, and if it involves programming, the OP is directed to Stack Overflow. Many of these questions are then asked on the other sites and answered on those sites, but the OP doesn't delete the question on NE. | |
| May 5, 2016 at 20:22 | comment | added | Ramhound | @CraigConstantine - So I am not doing that. I spent 20 minutes writting this answer, that would take an hour, but I feel this still provides some example of at least my thoughts on the matter. Its basically, don't give us your crappy questions please, we have enough of our own :-). | |
| May 5, 2016 at 20:17 | comment | added | Craig Constantine | ooooooooooooooooooooh, now I see what you're getting at. Sorry, I close a LOT of questions without adding a comment. So we'd (you/me/someone) have to wade through all closed questions (I'm not the only mod :) and read all teh comments... | |
| May 5, 2016 at 20:16 | comment | added | Ramhound | I only used the questions you closed and commented on, because I am lazy, and don't feel like trying to generate a query to find better examples. | |
| May 5, 2016 at 20:15 | comment | added | Ramhound | @CraigConstantine - My answer is in response to your statement that, Over on Network Engineering, we close a lot of questions as off-topic and feel they belong on this stack., I was able to find 9 questions which were closed that are not on topic here at Superuser. The point I just went through the question you commented and closed in the last year, and none of them, should have been migrated. Do you have better examples, which are high quality questions, but are not on topic at NE.SE that should be migrated here? | |
| May 5, 2016 at 20:11 | comment | added | Craig Constantine | Most of your answer has nothing to do with my question. (Or am I misunderstanding?) Certainly, those are [some of many] of my comments on NE, but only on one or two (not sure, I only skimmed your answer) that you've quoted do I even mention SU. I didn't bring any of these Qs-you-listed up [in my Question here] as candidates for migration. | |
