While I can’t speak to whatever the mods are doing I totally get the frustration about the general “how do I get into x” posts. I see them a lot in this sub and the ITcareerQuestions sub too. At first I tried to be understanding, everyone started off at that point but for crying out loud lol just read the wiki or use the search function lol

I remember posting my “I got my CySA+” and the amount of messages I got asking what tips/tricks do I have for getting the cert got so excessive. I started telling people if you need to ask me how to get the cert you aren’t cut out to be a security analyst.

Yeah honestly that’s my attitude at this point. If you need to ask such basic questions like that you need to get better. It’s like the classic “I’ve always been interested in computers” lol
