Sub-forum for Social Engineering - Slippery Slope - 05-21-2019

Tutorials and Methods

So, this is just a suggestion, but I think it could be better for ease of access for users that are looking for certain things when coming to the Social Engineering section.
It'd be nice to weed out the common questions from methods and tutorials instead of scrolling through 10-20 question topics. There are of course tags that highlight which topics are Tutorials and such, but if there was another sub-forum dedicated to such, users wouldn't have to traverse through several pages in order to check for new methods and tutorials.

Anyways, just a little idea - any thoughts or suggestions related?

I completely agree. The section is very active, but in more ways than one, we need some division!

On the above grounds, I've moved this from the Social Engineering forum to Suggestions.

In my view, social engineering Is quite broad, hence entails a lot of variants. A single sub-forum, couldn't possibly accommodate everything.

Right, I agree entirely. I more so just think there needs to be a sub-forum in order to separate the tutorials and methods away from the general questions and concerns (Because the general Social Engineering forum is pumped full of general questions and concerns) - which isn't a big deal, but when tutorials or methods are released, the general questions and concerns come very quickly and the methods and tutorials become lost behind several pages of general inquiries. So, if we had a dedicated sub-forum for such, a mojority of the common questions asked could be answered quickly by clicking on 'Tutorials and Methods'. Plus, it would help the following get more exposure in the long run because users wouldn't have to directly search for or link to them.

I actually like the Idea of a tutorials sub-forum, solely dedicated to that alone.

I believe It will minimize questions and concerns, that are generated on a daily basis.

Me too. That would be easier to separate as well from mod's perspective.

Given the magnitude of threads, It will be a lengthy process to accurately Identify each one, and determine It's suitability to the respective forum.

Sounds like we need a sectional moderator also haha.

I'm glad you pointed that out. This would be a long process. Also, I suspect we would be moving threads a lot when people post in the wrong section.

We have a staff of three. Nobody has only one section to look after xD

When the Combo Lists forum was created, It took quite a while to move threads from the Hacking Tools & Anonymity forums. Due to the nature of the Social Engineering forum, I believe It will take a lot longer.

The arduous task, Is actually "accurately" Identifying threads to determine which forum they're suited to. If there's ambiguity In the thread's title, that's where It becomes a lengthy process- namely sifting through It's contents prior to making a decision on It's suitability.
