Thanks tetrep. I agree with your statement "would be a good time for HackerOne to write this stuff down".

We just discussed it this morning internally. If you have suggestions on how to formulate such a policy, please email me at [e-mail].

Thinking out loud, HackerOne stands for and supports the security and integrity of every piece of software code, for transparency and openness, for the sovereignty of each human being connected online, and for fair and equitable principles for all online activity. And probably some other aspects that I didn't think of this exact second.

If anyone has thoughts on this, we are all ears.

Don't get suckered into trying to write a 'clear set of guidelines' or a 'comprehensive community policy' or whatever they want to call it. 10 times out of 10, the people asking for such things are either looking to pin you on your own texts through language lawyering or are incapable of independent thought - not the sort of people you want to deal with anyway. The whole faux 'justice' (of this sort) rhetoric is just that - the upholding of an illusion of 'fairness', where that 'fairness' is a juvenile understanding of 'equal treatment no matter what', just like those who think that majority decisions are always right because they're 'democratic'.

The correct response is that of when people tried this trick on the SCOTUS when they asked it 'what is porn'. There, and here, the correct answer is: "I can't define it, but I recognize it when I see it." This of course is a deeply unsatisfying answer to people who can't (or won't) think for themselves, and doubly so for the aspi types that inhabit the interwebs in disproportionate numbers.
