I was looking at the way posts have been organized by users lately, and I noticed some articles faced a dilemma, they don’t fit into any one box perfectly, a CTF writeup is not a tutorial, it’s an article. So writers face a difficult decision when categorizing. The same goes for users who are looking for articles.
How do we fix this? I am suggesting we should remove the sub-categories, and just keep the parent ones. That way writers can be a little lazy. I am not saying this is ideal, just a suggestion. I am completely open to other suggestions or even a damn right shut down with reasoning. Throw it all at me . What should we do?
removing the sub categories should be fine imho.
If a topic is related to Exploit development in any way it should be put in that (main) category.
If it’s a tutorial on top of that one could tag it like that (if the author is a nice and responsible person ).
Instead of getting rid of sub categories completely… maybe add proper way to categorize in the Code of Conduct and if a user doesn’t follow the code, unlist it for a time and send a message instead? Just a suggestion.
Aren’t all sub-categories already available as tags? Removing sub-categories sounds pretty reasonable considering you can still categorize it the same way by just using tags (but in a less confusing way as you wouldn’t have tags that may or may not include the sub-category in addition to the sub-category).
