All 7 rules of r/pwnhub
- Stay on Topic
Posts must relate to hacking, cybersecurity news, breach reports, vulnerabilities, tools, or cyber threat analysis. Keep it relevant—no generic tech news or unrelated content. - No Illegal Activities
Absolutely no promotion, sharing, or encouragement of illegal activities. This includes hacking personal accounts, cracking software, or distributing malware. Educational discussions are fine, but keep it legal. - No Personal Data or Doxxing
Do not post personal information or identifiable data of individuals, even if it’s public. Violating this will result in an immediate ban. - No Malware Distribution
Sharing malicious software, exploits, or links to malicious content is strictly prohibited. If you’re sharing research or tools, make sure they’re for ethical use. - Respect the Community
No harassment, hate speech, or personal attacks. Disagreeing is fine—being a jerk isn’t. Keep discussions civil and constructive. - Source Your News & Research
When posting breaking news, tools, or research, link to credible sources whenever possible. Misleading or unverified information will be removed. - No Self-Promotion or Spam
Self-promotion is allowed only if it contributes value to the community (e.g., sharing your GitHub tool or detailed security research). Repeated or irrelevant promotions will be flagged as spam.
What the written rules don't show
- Unpublished minimums. Many communities remove posts from new or low-karma accounts through AutoModerator settings that are not on the rules page, often before a moderator sees them.
- Reddit's own filters. Reddit's site-wide spam filters can remove posts from accounts that mostly share links to their own site, in any community.
- The community's norms. Many communities see themselves as peers, not an audience: post where you already take part, and make the post worth reading without the link.
