Here are our community guidelines

## 1. Be Professional

Treat others with respect. Healthy debate is encouraged; personal attacks, harassment, or hostile behavior are not.

## 2. Keep It Relevant

Focus discussions on topics such as:

- SOC maturity

- Detection engineering

- Incident response

- Security operations

- Metrics & reporting

- Automation & orchestration

- Governance & capability development

## 3. No Spam or Aggressive Promotion

Relevant vendor or product discussions are fine.  
Unsolicited promotion, repetitive marketing, lead generation, or disguised advertising are not.

If you have a commercial affiliation, be transparent about it.

## 4. Respect Confidentiality

Do not share confidential customer data, sensitive internal information, credentials, or identifiable incident details without permission.

## 5. Share Practical Knowledge

We value actionable insights, lessons learned, implementation experience, templates, metrics, and honest discussion of challenges.

## 6. Keep Discussions High Signal

Low-effort posts, AI-generated content dumps, repetitive link posting, or off-topic discussions may be removed.

## 7. Use Clear Titles and Context

Help others by providing enough context, constraints, and objectives when asking questions or sharing experiences.

## 8. No Harmful or Illegal Content

Do not post malware, stolen data, credential dumps, or content intended for abuse or illegal activity.

## 9. Lightweight Moderation

Moderation is intentionally minimal. Content may be removed if it is spam, abusive, disruptive, or clearly off-topic.

## 10. Help Build a Valuable Community

Contribute thoughtfully, share knowledge generously, and help maintain a professional, practitioner-focused environment.

## 11. Help Shape the Community

A valuable community is built collectively. You can help by:

- sharing practical experience

- answering questions

- posting useful resources

- welcoming new members

- reporting obvious spam or abuse

- encouraging constructive discussion
