With the recent change to the Close system we have some more control over what some of our messages say.
We are now allowed to craft our own custom close messages, up to 3. This question is intended to act as a mechanism for gathering proposals and determining which ones the community likes the best, and hates the most. Please post your proposals as answers and vote on the others as you see fit.
Pre-filled Option 1:
Questions asking us to break the security of a specific system for you are off-topic unless they demonstrate an understanding of the concepts involved and clearly identify a specific problem.
Pre-filled Option 2:
Questions seeking product recommendations are off-topic as they become obsolete quickly. Instead, describe your situation and the specific problem you're trying to solve.
"Default" Off-Topic Close Reason (Shown when no 2 off-topic reasons match on a closed question.)
(However, you cannot explicitly select this reason, strangely enough?? )
This question does not appear to be about Information Security within the scope defined in the help center.
This question is a request for legal advice, which is not within the scope of this site. While general discussions of laws are appropriate within the context of IT security, you should always consult a lawyer instead of the Internet when accuracy is important.
We need at least the ability to migrate some things to Serverfault and maybe even Crypto. Currently I feel that some questions are just too complex to migrate over to Super User (like the recent question about configuring a Cisco ASA).
I also feel that some crypto questions we get on here are not really off-topic, however they do fit a lot better on Crypto rather than on Security.SE.
Pre-filled Option 3:
Questions about general computing hardware and software are off-topic here, but can be asked on Super User.
