Now that this forum has gone back to mostly discussing specific vendors and trades, are there any other forums where general security and structure of DNMs is the main topic?

We still have that type of discussion here; it's perfectly acceptable.
We can't facilitate direct deals, and we can't do things like help people come up with schemes to use stolen credit card numbers; even "washing" bitcion is a little bit on the edge of what we can do. But since BTC is legal to buy and sell, we allow it.
The only rule we have to keep in mind is that we are on clearnet and are required to operate within reddit TOS. Our "true" focus is discussing other sites, so as long as we aren't doing things like setting up partnerships for middlemen/drop shippers, making drug deals via PM, etc, we allow as much as we humanly can. We did spend a week trying to contain anything related to onymous to megathreads just to keep clutter down, and as waste mentioned, we moved all ads and sourcing to single twice-weekly threads so we can better monitor they stay within reddit TOS.
What types of conversations are you concerned about? We encourage as much variation as possible here and try to never censor anything we aren't forced to, and the mod team has regular conversations about the importance of putting our own feelings aside for the sake of freedom of speech. I would very much like to hear your concerns so we can discuss anything we may be overlooking about user perceptions concerns.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

Unfortunately I don't think we have the numbers yet to further diversify.

I feel like we have those discussions here. One of the ways we have tried to improve the quality of posts and reduce clutter was to move all sourcing questions and vendor ads to the Wednesday and Sunday threads.
