I don't think I'm going to be able to draw a definitive line in the sand for every case scenario, but generally, 1st party products are fine, or what a typical developer in the space would have access to are fine. Then it comes down to more of a judgement call. How many articles has the author posted before? What is the tone of the piece? Is the author attempting to fill a hole that exists in documentation or a known problem? How many times have we seen this particular product or company put up a suspicious article or blog entry or press release such that it seems like a spammy agenda?

Maybe sometimes we get it wrong, but on more than one occasion we've removed a suspicious looking article written by a person who doesn't appear to be associated with a company, then had a marketing rep from that same company contact our sales team and ask, "why did our article get deleted?" Which means we err on the side of caution.

It's also possible there are articles out there we simply haven't caught yet.
Thanks,
Sean Ewington
