Suggests implementing a workflow involving GDPR officers to ensure user identity deletion via a p.o.o. ticketing system. The tool facilitates validations, ensuring compliance and proper handling of privacy-related processes. == Proposal for Permanent Records of Banned Persons == * Establish permanent records for banned individuals to ensure consistency and transparency in enforcement. * Current decisions rely on collective memory, which is unreliable over time. * Records should be maintained and accessible to moderators, the board and membership officials. == Proposal for openSUSE Ban Process Regulation == * The openSUSE community upholds a strict code of conduct to ensure a respectful and productive environment. Bans may be issued for violations, escalating from temporary bans to permanent and lifetime bans. ** Temporary Bans: Issued for initial or minor infractions, typically lasting up to three months. ** Six-Month Bans: Serve as a clear warning that any further violations will result in a permanent ban. ** Permanent Bans: Imposed for repeated or severe violations. Individuals may apply for reinstatement after one year; however, reinstatement is not guaranteed and subject to Board review. ** Lifetime Bans: Reserved for the most egregious violations, including but not limited to harassment, ban evasion, and misuse of resources. Lifetime bans are irrevocable. * What about Revoking memberships? * What about Revoking IDP Account access? If so, how does it affect people who need it for their job? * A final warning may precede a permanent ban, making clear the consequences of further infractions. All bans are documented to ensure transparency and consistency in enforcement. -- Neal Gompa (ID: Pharaoh_Atem)
