I’ve thought about this subject a lot. I’d like to kickstart a group on Social Engineering - and I’ve brought it up before. However, I’m on the fence on the idea of creating such and it becoming full of consumers and not producers.

I do agree though. If there was a pinned post with the contents being along the lines of what you mentioned before about - ‘keeping an open mind’ and  ‘Experimenting and contributing.’ Hopefully it would decongest the 15,000+ topics of SE. I’m not saying that beginners shouldn’t ask questions, but thinking outside the box has been very beneficial to me personally - Plus, creating your own methods usually ensures that they don’t get saturated quickly.

If you are worried about consumers, then you can only invite specific people to your group; people who are producers.  

Maybe having a discord for the "producers" will be a good idea. There we can discuss and share. At the same time we can't just leave out those that either aren't experienced enough or don't know social engineering in the first place. I'll have to think about this

Perhaps people wishing to join who are not chosen, could fill out an application to provide evidence of some experience, and if they show enough will, they could be accepted, and, if they are not contributing, they could simply be kicked out. Just a thought, though.
