Software gore is when software acts outside its parameters and malfunctions. Software gore cannot be intentional, and it must not be a fault of the design (crappy design).

More details on software gore

What isn't software gore:

• Asshole design - deliberately bad software (not software gore)
• Crappy design - Issues caused by poor design (not software gore)
• Minor bugs or glitches - No software is perfect, bugs happen. We are looking for gore, not papercuts.

More details on what isn't software gore

Before posting:

1. Is the issue here to do with design?
2. Is the issue intentional?
3. Is the software operating very abnormally?

If 1 and 2 are no, and 3 is yes, you might have software gore! Anything else and it isn't software gore.

We see a lot of the same stuff. Please check this list before you post: Done To Death Submissions

2. Gore must be genuine.

• Submissions which are faked or misleading will be removed. Violating this rule may result in a ban.

• Many other users found this same error before you and posted it already. Check out our list of common Done To Death submissions.
