MODERATORS
So called IT experts who only know solutions by rote. If the question is out of their scope they almost always respond with “why do you want to do that? You really want to do this instead” and then promptly give you basic instructions that don’t actually answer the question.
Heck you get that on stackoverflow and github pages.
I post on a forum where you need to be a certified professional admin to post there, it's a thing for work. And people are dumb there too, it never ends.
"Why you running the Linux version? Just use windows" Oh why didn't I think of that? Because we're an enterprise application! I don't get to pick the platform I just fix the damn thing.
I absolutely hate StackOverflow for this reason. That, and, if I Google a very specific technical question, 99% of the time, the StackOverflow post that would've answered the question is locked because "it was already answered." (It wasn't. It just happened to be a very similar question that's still different enough that it doesn't answer the question that was locked.)
Oh my god that's like when they suggest to bounce/restart productive environments just willy nilly in a support ticket
