| Dec 13, 2011 at 18:24 | comment | added | Graeme Hutchison | I agree changed the wording I had originally. But with this suggestion of a workaround getting more down votes than the OP i don't think others agree. ; ) | |
| Dec 13, 2011 at 18:11 | comment | added | Daniel Beck Mod | Regarding this suggestion, the only reasonable way to implement something like this would be to mention that the question is likely also on topic on the following other sites: [...], and implement it symmetrically. Especially with regards to general OS X (BSD) command line questions, I consider SU to be far superior to Apple.SE; "more suitable" is just too judgmental to be of value. But then we'd still get a list of like 5 sites for some topics due to overlap (the infamous "mod_rewrite" question on Ubuntu Server maybe, suggesting SU,SO,SF,U&L and AU?), only confusing the user. | |
| Dec 13, 2011 at 18:04 | comment | added | Daniel Beck Mod | @slhck Sorry about the confusion about my first comment. I deleted my original comment that started with You're wrong. (don't remember the rest, but I think it went downhill from there). I just came home when I posted that and reacted more to seeing yet another Apple.SE themed question than the concrete suggestion. I later explained to Graeme in chat that IIRC this idea has been brought before and dismissed with the explanation that the users choose their community (e.g. Apple users or general power users) and that any topic is fine on any site it's on topic. | |
| Dec 13, 2011 at 12:44 | comment | added | Graeme Hutchison | @slhck yes I can see it has been edited, The OP apolagised to me in chat, and I am fine with the situation. I am happy to contribute to this .SE | |
| Dec 13, 2011 at 12:41 | comment | added | slhck | As there probably is a comment that has been deleted, I won't be able to judge that, sorry. Concerning iPods, yes, of course. But you suggested (for example) the message should come up for the OS X tag. If a question is off-topic here, feel free to suggest it be migrated to Ask Different. | |
| Dec 13, 2011 at 12:40 | comment | added | Graeme Hutchison | @slhck that is only correct for some questions and not others. Read the FAQ's about Apple hardware. and iPods etc. | |
| Dec 13, 2011 at 12:39 | comment | added | Graeme Hutchison | @slhck before you impart your comments. read it again, it is about the aggressive tone that was the comment was dealt with, not the disagreement or the down votes. | |
| Dec 13, 2011 at 12:39 | comment | added | slhck | Also, to address the content of your suggestion: The premise This question is more suitable for Ask Different is simply wrong. If a question is on-topic for Super User, it is just as suitable here as for Ask Different. Please also read: Is it okay to inform users to stop promoting Apple.SE when a question is fine to stay here? | |
| Dec 13, 2011 at 12:36 | comment | added | slhck | > perhaps I wont bother, if this is the manner in which ideas and opinions are dealt with — I don't particularly understand your problem. You've posted an opinion, others disagreed with it. This is the way every Meta site on Stack Exchange works. Also, in contrast to Meta Stack Overflow, you won't even lose reputation from downvotes. Is that really a reason for leaving? If you post an opinion on Meta, you should be aware of the fact that people may disagree with it. | |
| Dec 12, 2011 at 16:52 | comment | added | Graeme Hutchison | I saw this question agreed with parts of it and not others so I posted an opinion. It was not an Idea that has been suggested before so why not. I have not said we shoe remove them all from here, but just add a feature that increases awareness of teh other sites. I joined this site so I could impart knowledge of Mac here aswell, perhaps I wont bother, if this is the manner in which ideas and opinions are dealt with. Bye | |
| Dec 12, 2011 at 16:47 | comment | added | Daniel Beck Mod | I know. I'm tired of discussing the same thing with every eager user of Apple.SE who sees all the Mac-related questions on SU. It has been discussed before. It has been dismissed by the SU community, the last time not even two weeks ago. Has something changed in the meantime? No. So there's absolutely no need to bring this up again by only stating you'd like that. But if you actually are aware of earlier discussions and have some new arguments, please publish them. | |
| Dec 12, 2011 at 16:45 | comment | added | Graeme Hutchison | How can I be wrong? I said I think. that is a personal opinion. I didn't say they should be moved, all I said is that it could suggest other options that the poster didn't know about So how can the user decide if they have not been given the option?. I do not agree with removing them from here as they are relevant, however they will help the Apple site grow if they are duplicated on their. I also Think your aggressive tone is unnecessary, on a harmless suggestion and PERSONAL opinion | |
