Why not just post these questions on stack overflow, under the 'security' tag?

Stack Overflow is about programming in general, this website specializes in security on its own. Furthermore, this site accepts security questions that may not necessarily be programming related

StackOverflow trashes any question that isn't explicitly related to programming. If your question is, "How can I securely implement a password storage scheme with PostgreSQL and Erlang?", then StackOverflow is right for you. If your question is, "How can I break this guy's securely-implemented password storage scheme, written in PostgreSQL and Erlang?", then you would probably want something like this.

Because any question on SO about using or configuring software is downvoted, complained about and sent to superuser.
