I was doing some First Posts reviews and I came across a question about Unix.

The question did look ok, but it does not belong on Stack Overflow.

What should I do? Mark Looks OK and then move it to another site?

  • Was this in First Posts or Triage? (And do we need both, anyway?) – Jeffrey Bosboom Dec 21 '14 at 0:50

OK, first do a sanity-check: plenty of Unix questions are on-topic for SO. Please don't be one of those people who knee-jerks on everything that mentions the topic of another site; if it's about programming or programming tools then leave it be...

Ok, so far so good? Completely off-topic? Choose "unsalvageable" then close it as off-topic. Maybe leave a comment noting the existence of a Unix & Linux site.

  • This was in the First Posts queue, not Triage, so 'unsalvageable' is not an option (though flagging/voting to close is of course still possible). (Long-term, will First Post questions just go into Triage?) – Jeffrey Bosboom Dec 21 '14 at 9:53
  • There's no "looks ok" in FP either... This was kind of a confusing question. And yeah. – Shog9 Dec 21 '14 at 15:51

Don't choose "looks ok" unless it really looks good exactly as it is. I would click "unsalvageable" then move it in the flag dialog that shows up.
