Ask Different Blog: Allowing iOS 9 and El Capitan questions
bmike on August 12, 2015

Since Ask Different was originally conceived, the community consensus has been to not allow questions about Apple’s beta operating systems.

The times, however, they are a changing.

I have just updated the answer that we normally update once Apple finalizes their next OS release and releases it to the general public. Are iOS 9 and OS X El Capitan questions OK? Basically, YES – just because a question is about beta iOS 9 builds or beta OS X builds, it isn’t automatically off-topic. …

Hi @bmike! I'm interested to know why you chose to mark this as Looks OK? apple.stackexchange.com/review/low-quality-posts/123577

@grgarside Thanks for noticing!
It's simple - the person came to add information to the discussion.
They stated something I've seen go wrong all the time. People using the wrong restore disks. It's clearly not the answer, it's not a great answer, but it's that person's attempt to help others and move the discussion forward
I don't see it harming things and felt it made a decent enough point
Thoughts?

@bmike It's a 'thank you' with no added information. The "Also, note that a DVD…" is a quote of an earlier answer.
Also, congrats on 100k network rep!

Hmm - I don't see related items in the review queue. Faulty by design I suppose. If you can flag that and link to the post it is in response, then I'll move it to comments.
You caught something I missed - again big thanks!

George - thank you for the continued excellence in reviewing / cleaning / helping out here. I wish there were a moderator election today so I could vote for you.
