They told me to delete users. Banning is possible but not recommended, it just puts a notice. I just asked admin about your concern on 1).
Well, if you delete a new spammer, it will just come back with the same username 5 minutes later (seen several times today). So I block them (which replaces the "about" box with a "this user is banned" banner, and makes them invisible to not logged in users. Additionally, I set all profile fields to "private". This effectively makes the spam invisible to anyone not an admin and avoids them recreating the user with the same Login (probably they just re-login via microfocus credentials and the login is automatically recreated). I do delete users who have created several spam groups (or older spam accounts that have not been active for a while, in the assumption that they will not come back). If you delete a user, all of his groups are also deleted. But groups should be clean now, after I removed a few thousand last night (one spam user had several hundred spam groups, so deleting this user was a big win). Going through the users now, but this is tedious, so I will target those that turn up on the front page first. -- Stefan Seyfried "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled." -- Richard Feynman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
