And, I don't think you remove SF's right to deny a question because you point a questioner to them; but, SU isn't a dumping ground for all questions, right? That's the argument SU has always made, and we should apply it here too. If the question probably doesn't belong, suggest that. If it certainly doesn't belong, deny it! If you're asking questions about nginx conf settings, you're no more a computer hobbyist than a amateur system admin. Likewise, an automotive driver asking questions about camshaft sensors isn't a mere driver: he's an amateur mechanic.

| Feb 22, 2013 at 20:12 | comment | added | Evan Carroll | @slhck SF doesn't reject easy questions. And, the point is that they're not answered here. The right way for you to argue this -- though, imho, you'd be on the wrong side regardless -- is to find enough violations of my generalization to make the issue moot, which you're not even trying to do. It's almost as if you agree that their existence here is mainly because the mods did not migrate, though they overwhelmingly should have -- that's exactly why I bring this up. | |
| Feb 22, 2013 at 20:09 | comment | added | slhck Mod | @Evan Regardless of what's in our FAQ, it's for Server Fault to decide what questions they want. (You also said yourself that most of these questions were "easy", and I'm fairly sure that those wouldn't be a good fit for SF.) | |

Your definitions are inaccurate. Per SU's own FAQ, "If your question would be of interest to professional system and network administrators, ask on Server Fault." It's not the role of the questioner, it's of whose interests the question would be more geared too. I'm not a chief, I am a programmer. However, I'd ask questions about cooking on Cooking.SE and not on StackOverflow. We should apply the same logic here.
