Similarly to people telling the OP to [ask their question on Apple.SE][1], even if it's on topic here on SU, I think that there's a general problem with comments like the following: > This should be on Server Fault! > Ask on Stack Overflow! > Try apple.stackexchange.com! These comments do not serve any good purpose for several reasons. - They leave the OP confused about where to ask. Was he wrong asking here? Doesn't that even come off as rude? - They do not have an actual effect on the state of the question. It's not automatically being moved. - They will force the OP (especially in the case of new users) to re-post their question on the other site, therefore cross-posting. If the community decides that the original question is good to stay, we have a cross-site duplicate. Or, even worse, the question is later migrated. What, specifically, can we do against this?
