Hello all!

Since the forum hasn't had any listed rules until now, I'm going to import the rules which have worked over at the cryptography forum which I've been moderating in on reddit. I'll list the rules here with explanations.

Forum rules

1: Stick to the topic of cryptography

The focus is on modern cryptography (computer security algorithms and protocols and their implementations). We also allow related infosec topics (including phishing, security UX, etc) as well as discussion of notable historical ciphers, but keep in mind that just because cryptography is mentioned in an article it doesn't necessarily mean it's relevant. Analogy: a forum about motors wouldn't let you post about road trips. In this forum, a submitted article should have a substantial security aspect. If you're unsure, ask the mods or ask in a meta thread.

2: Engage in good faith, maintain high quality & accuracy, don't mislead

To keep quality high, first of all, be kind. Behavior which discourage other go

Hi!

I'm @[email protected] and this account that I'm making this post from is my moderation account, which is now part of the moderators of this cryptography forum. This is the account which I'll be handling removals/bans from, etc.

I've been added as a moderator by @[email protected] (server admin)

I also moderate https://reddit.com/r/crypto, and I've been looking for options since the reddit admins decided to make a mess of things with the API and various policies, etc. The community will NOT be forced to migrate so these communities are separate for now, but everybody's encouraged to join here.

If you're a member in both places, feel free to tell us both your handles so we know who you are!
