The "bronze tutorial award" is ruining the tutorial section. - HSGM - Jul 7, 2019
I know it wasn't the intention of omni or staff, but the tutorials section of HF has turned into a pile of shit with idiots posting very quick guides they spent 3 seconds on, with basically almost nothing to do with hacking. Things like how to set a proxy, change user-agent, etc.
I'm not gonna call anyone out cause I understand people just want the award and aren't posting with malicious intent, but its annoying as shit. I was gonna write some of my own tutorials as well but as this point it would be drowned out by people spamming 10 LQ threads in a row.
Not even sure what to suggest doing, but at least some type of limit of threads per day/week/etc would help at least slow down the spam.

I do notice some quick threads about that lol. To be honest lets see what Omi thinks of this.
Maybe some requirements for these type of threads.

Some awards are going to be removed because we're converting the section into Approved only threads.

Just took a look, damn thats a lot of LQ threads. "How to reverse image search > Use TinEye". Really?

I put Mentors on it to watch for LQP.

All those threads look perfectly fine to me. What's wrong with their content?

It could be argued that the following threads aren't even hacking:
[How-to] View your own WiFi Password in windows 10 (No tools)
[How-to] Enable GODMODE in Windows 10
An example that is a tutorial on hacking would be something like this:
(Kali Linux Tutorial) How to scan for open ports with built-in Metasploit Scanner

These tutorials help bring traffic to hf and do a whole lot for SEO.

Exactly this one, I'm not here to argue about that, but it looks like Hopsin had no effort in doing "tutorial" at all, he just made 10 threads in a row just for the award, now see him only lurking on this section

Just the fact he made 10 tutorials in a row it clearly wasn't to help people out but rather to get the award. "How to download a video from a website" come on now...

I wouldn't exactly call them "hacking tutorials" but they are just fine imo.
I can see them being helpful for many members.
