No Low Effort / Poor Quality Posts
"This security forum is oriented towards private white hat security professionals." If a post has very basic information, it is not appropriate for this sub. For example, "why passwords are important" is too fundamental.
Must be relevant to security professionals
This is not a general security subreddit. Posts related to burglar alarms, weapons, and similar concepts are not appropriate for this sub.
No fundamental security questions or tech support requests
Basic questions on security concepts and fundamentals and requests for tech support are not appropriate for this subreddit.
SECURITY FIRST (no editorializing)
This is the guiding principle for all posts. No editorializing and no political agendas. Posts discussing political issues that affect security are fine, but the post must be geared towards the security implication. Such posts will be heavily monitored and comments may be locked as needed.
Civility
We're all professionals. Be excellent to each other.
