Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

NCC-1701 is the ship designator of the Enterprise from Star Trek

This occurred to me right after I posted. But are there that many ST fans?

It's pretty iconic and when you need to make a 4-digit pin quickly, it's something that stands out if you're a fan of the series. But as the heat map suggests, it may not be the most secure

I’m a fan of the series but it would never occur to me to use that as a pin.

It was an extremely popular show when it was new, and continues to have a cult following among nerds.

When it was new? It’s had various new incarnations for over half a century.

IDK if I'd call it a cult.....

Lots of Anna Magdalena Bach fans out there. A real lot. Or otherwise, people are using the worst possible pin to access their BIR1701 income tax return. But probably fans of baroque music.
