Hi all
How can we solve it? 1) disable these accounts 2) block specific accounts on connect.o.o, even though they are still enabled 3) (not an option yet, see the flame wars) shut down connect.o.o
1) might be hard for the community, as the accounts are maintained by microfocus. Additionally, even an account that "we" (community) identify as a spammer, might still be a paying SUSE / Novell / Microfocus customer, and disabling the account might have unwanted consequences. 2) I have no idea if this is technically possible. Anyone with knowledge of the underlying system around that can tell us if this is possible?
If 2) is possible, I would volunteer to go through connect.o.o and disable/block/whatever all accounts that are obvious spam.
I also volunteered for #2. But I don't know yet how to get access and how to get whatever information is available about the platform. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)
