That would indeed be a perfect solution. But the current login system is managed by SUSE-IT. There are flags to mark an account as SUSE employee. Maybe there is a possibility to get a similar flag for * openSUSE members * openSUSE heroes * other groups? => Technically no big deal. Someone would have to create a "ticket" anyway to get people added to a group or two.

Considering that tickets for for example removing accounts of spammers ended up in a void (or rather our ticket system) for a long time without anybody looking at them, I have 0, zero, null and none trust in that working out.

FYI, we deliberately did not act on those "forum spammers" reports, they did not end up in a void, we just saw no reason to do anything. After discussing it with the forum moderators, it was agreed they would stop sending them.

* we need to have our own login system for gdpr/foundation reasons anyway (that was discussed during gdpr meeting last year)

Interesting! Can you please share me the meeting minutes?

If that existed it was lost to time,

I do not recall any minutes being taken :-( it was pretty much, iirc, an ad-hoc meeting. (slightly disorganised, not much agenda etc). I believe having separate authentication systems _was_ discussed, but I don't recall it having been listed as an absolute requirement wrt GDPR (at least not until we have our own legal entity). -- Per Jessen, Zürich (0.3°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes
