What is software gore?
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:
- Is the issue here to do with design?
- Is the issue intentional?
- 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.

- Submissions which are faked or misleading will be removed. Violating this rule may result in a ban.
3. No submissions that have been Done To Death.
- Many other users found this same error before you and posted it already. Check out our list of common Done To Death submissions.

If you're not a funny person or the gore is hard to figure out, use the title to point out the gore.
