| Mar 5, 2012 at 8:53 | comment | added | Daniel Beck Mod | We had this many times before and the SU community doesn't like people doing it. It also shows no respect for a user's decision to post on a particular site. The user chooses his community. If he doesn't know about the alternatives, chances are the decision was made fr him in the way he learned about the site. | |
| Mar 5, 2012 at 8:53 | comment | added | Daniel Beck Mod | Due to iOS devices, Apple?SE is not actually more specialised towards OSX questions than Super User, where iOS is off topic. How'd you like it if we pester everybody asking a command line question that would be the same on Linux to migrate it to SU, where the linux users are, even though it's perfectly on topic on Apple.SE? Just accept that you're not the one making the call, and advertising another site without proper reason is just wrong, | |
| Mar 1, 2012 at 14:11 | comment | added | MrDaniel | One reason is that most of the people providing feedback to the question are higher reputation users from the Apple.SE, I am not saying the question is off topic here, but there might be a better chance of getting more answers and or feedback for the question on the Apple.SE. Since the Apple.SE is only focused on Apple Hardware, etc. While SuperUser encompasses all hardware, etc. I am sure not everyone on the Apple.SE is looking here for questions to answers, etc... | |
| Feb 29, 2012 at 6:17 | comment | added | Daniel Beck Mod | I flagged your comment to the linked question as not constructive, since you have no business telling users to migrate questions that are on topic here (likewise in the other direction — there's usually no need to migrate from Apple.SE to SU if it's on topic here). I'd also appreciate some evidence regarding your claim that the question would be better off on Apple.SE. Also see this topic on Meta.Apple.SE. | |
| Feb 29, 2012 at 3:58 | comment | added | nhinkle Mod | @MrDaniel please keep in mind that questions about OS X and Apple computers are on-topic for Super User. You should not flag these for migration to Apple.SE. Questions about non-computer Apple products (iPhone, iPad, etc.) should be marked as off-topic and sent to Apple.SE though. | |

OP is indeed "Original Poster". Apple isn't in the list of sites to migrate to when one would click close and then off-topic and look at the list that appears, which means that the community can't migrate a question to Apple thus only a moderator can do so. Which is what makes flagging the only option...

| Feb 29, 2012 at 2:54 | comment | added | MrDaniel | @Tom Wijsman What do you mean by "Note though, that Apple isn't listed in that list." | |
| Feb 29, 2012 at 2:53 | comment | added | MrDaniel | Is OP the "Original Poster" | |
| Feb 29, 2012 at 2:51 | comment | added | Tamara Wijsman | If you have sufficient reputation (250, you can vote to close questions. Note though, that Apple isn't listed in that list. Under that amount of reputation, you can flag it for moderator attention and if he is sure that the question absolutely has to be migrated he will do this for you. It's usually best to not leave a comment, such that the OP won't double post it or else there would be a duplicate as an unfortunate end result... | |
