 - Almost any app / site / service, **that's trustworthy and doesn't have the exceptions from below.**
   - Still in spite of this, aegis-icons has right to reject requests or submissions if needed or necessary.
 
-### Case-by-case basis
-:grey_question: Needs some examining before accepting or rejecting. Request or submit and we will tell if it's accepted or not.
-
-- Forums, message groups and similar sites / communities using pre-existing hosted software.
-  - We rather make icons based of the softwares, because those are more universally usable for users then specific communities.
-    - Detected with tools like [What CMS](https://whatcms.org) and [W3Techs Site Info](https://w3techs.com/sites).
-  - *Exception:* really popular forums can get their own icons (at least **over 250,000 total members** and high posting activity).
-- Platforms that icon requester / submitter is the creator or owner of the platform itself.
-  - We don't do free work or want self-advertising here.
-  - *Exception:* if platform is actually popular and has potential users for Aegis.
-- Self-hosted or similar software.
-  - Suggested to have ≥ 500 GitHub / Gitlab stars or other non-maintainer activity to back it up.
-  - If things previously mentioned aren't available, then we measure popularity based of search results.
-- Adult content, piracy & gambling related sites / apps / services.
-  - Mostly okay here, **but** it cannot break **any** of the "not approved" bullet points.
-  - These services are **always** researched from any "not approved" points before accepting.
-- App / site being too vague.
-  - *Examples (not limited to):* site only has login page and nothing else, search results don't answer what that app / site is either.
-  - It's not enough that you tell what the app / site does, we need at least **some** evidence from the web. Otherwise it counts to *shady apps / sites* category.
-- Ad networks.
-  - Most of them belongs to *shady apps / sites* category, because often these services violate privacy on other users expense and trick users for unwanted things.
-  - *Exception:* ad networks with ethical standpoints (minimal or no user tracking / data collecting, no dark patterns, high advertiser monitoring etc).

+*(Issue guidelines was last updated on: 2024-10-05)*
 
 1. App / site related requests has to **have Aegis-compatible 2FA support** one way or another, this project does not make icons outside of Aegis usage.
-   - Don't lie, we always double-check if requested service has 2FA support. You can add proof for the existence of Aegis-compatible 2FA to the issue form's "Proof of the Aegis-compatible 2FA" section.
      - For the similar icons for general purpose, check out [Simple Icons](https://simpleicons.org/) instead.
 2. **Check that icon you're about to request doesn't [already exist](https://delta-icons.github.io/)** or opened / closed in the [issues](https://github.com/Delta-Icons/aegis-icons/issues).
-   - Icon packs are updated monthly, not every time a new icon is created ([see the pack releases](https://github.com/Delta-Icons/aegis-icons/releases)). Icons created after the latest pack update are downloadable on [the website](https://delta-icons.github.io/).

    - *Possible reasons for rejections (among others):*
      - App / site not offering Aegis supported 2FA in the first place.
-     - Forum not popular enough (forum software related icon is the alternative).
      - No high quality logo resources available.
