Misplaced Pages:Reliable sources/Noticeboard

Hackaday is currently listed in the WP:SOURCEGUIDE as "no consensus" per the previous discussion. In the previous discussion, the editorial policies was not discussed. These policies are posted on their website at https://hackaday.com/policies/

We, in our sole discretion, may or may not review, edit, or delete from the service any material which we deem to be illegal, offensive or otherwise inappropriate. The tenor of the projects we feature on the service regularly use items in ways they were not originally intended (hack) and readers must understand the implications of this.

With this new information taken in to account, I'd like to reconvene discussion on use of Hackaday as sources. Essentially, the only editorial oversight seems to be that they only choose to host or not host submitted contents. I argue that this source should be considered unreliable for factual accuracy, fair due weight presentation and notability building purposes just like HuffPost and Forbes contributor articles are treated in WP:RSP.
