Rule 5: Spam is not permitted, this includes creating spam accounts that only serve to provide profile links or advertise products and services.

  • Spam is deeply unpopular here. If you are a commercial brand posting advertising or marketing material the benefit of the doubt leans against you.
  • Users who don't like commercial entities should use the block and mute functions liberally. You don't have to report them.
  • It is not permitted to register or run accounts which exist for the sole or primary purpose of:
    • posting profile links
    • advertising products and services
  • Commercial entities are permitted to have accounts on Infosec.Exchange. We want them to participate meaningfully in the community.
  • One post is not spam. One post a day is not spam. More than that might be.
  • Posting 2 or more posts a day that have essentially the same content is spamming. Posting essentially the same thing 2 out of 3 days, is also spamming. Repeating yourself a lot (whether robotically or typing) can be spamming.
  • Participating in the community requires 2-way conversation. Posting lots of stuff without engaging/discussing is probably spam.
  • Sending one unsolicited message to someone is not spam. More than one might be.
