- Content free linkbait articles that mention the words "hacker" or "hackers" in the title, like the absolute jewel we had yesterday, where one of the supposed must have skills for a hacker is a high wpm typing speed (I really do think that - in the near future - humans will be able to train monkeys to type)
- Anything that would appeal to the majority of the "social networking" crowd
- Anything that offers anything remotely related to the "program software (or any other worthwhile computer activity) with this product, no brain, education, or hard work required!" crack dream

- Wannabe MBA fodder
- Last but not least, I mean (sigh), how can I say this without coming off negatively? well, can't be said, but I will do it. I really do think that the best Heuristic is the Room Temperature Test: anything that would appeal to people whose IQ hovers even close to room temperature ought to be kept off the site period - this includes all of the above, particularly the MBA/Suit Neanderthal stuff.

The Fluffy category ought to include:
- MBA related stuff
