I've always battled to figure out what type of content best fits TechSpy. The policy across NewsBoiler is that admins and mods should try their best not to step in and filter topics based on personal preferences, but here are some topics you should generally avoid.
- Science - Unless it's directly related to tech, generally science topics may not do well because you know, it's not tech. There may be some one-offs like planet discoveries, but I've seen a lot of science content that really shouldn't be here.
- Announcements that are not exactly related to tech itself - So let's say a company announces that they are going to have a press conference, there's a good chance no one is going to approve it if they have never heard of the company. There are exceptions like if Google, Microsoft or Apple announce a press conference because of how influential they are.
- Certain viral content - Let's say a dog jumps in the air and attacks a flying drone, that really doesn't fall under the category of tech. If a dog bit a top level banking executive, would it have made news on the Financial Times or Bloomberg?
- Certain how-to guides - How to guides should be relevant based on time. For instance, if I post a guide on how to tweak Windows 95, then the relevance to today's standards doesn't match up. Time and time I've seen Android battery savings post that rehash apps from 2012 (pretty evident from the screenshots), so you have to weigh in with how relevant your guys may be.
- Too much business, hacking, Comcast, etc. - I'm not putting a ban hammer on these types of topics since there is an Industry tag for that, but don't hold your breath for a quick approval since they tend to have a niche audience and generally do not do well in terms of getting approvals or viewership. While some may be directly tech related, some tend to get too politically related with very little tech to talk about.
Essentially we are running into similar issues like /r/technology over on Reddit where political and non-tech related issues are overrunning real tech stories such as gadget news, rumors, and what not.
This really isn't a guide about what is not allowed, but just a reminder that straying too far from tech can lead to poor performance.

Owners of LG TVs may want to learn about this vulnerability which could give hackers access to your device. Luckily, LG has rolled out a fix.
Good luck trying to separate tech and science. They are intrinsically intermingled by definition. (Though I understand what you're intending, it's still a struggle since I was brought into the "tech" world world from a wildly different perspective.)
Technology - The application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes, especially in industry. (Oxford)
As for almost everything else, the site promotes big numbers, so that is what you are going to get.
If anyone feels the content I or someone else puts up isn't tech enough, have some balls and use the lame selection in the report drop down. Otherwise, not choosing is still a choice.

Incidentally as a heads-up to everyone if you're submitting medical or science links be sure to doublecheck the ending to make sure it isn't repurposed 'from materials' or that it is republished from a partner publication which would be the correct sourcing.
I think all of us more regular posters have slipped up on that over the last month and I don't want to be the bad guy reporting on it(!) >_<
