I understand that is what is needed for the new thing. But what is needed to clear the spam on opensuse-connect, which is the current thread subject?
A very good point. Maybe we ought to focus on what is achieveable in the short term - getting rid of the spam.
If I were to volunteer for that, what would I need to do? It seems to me that it is another forum. I know nothing of maintaining a forum in order to reduce spam, so all I can think of is manually deleting posts and killing those posters,
That is probably what it boils down to, yes. Or we can look at disabling those pages altogether.
What do I start reading? It looks to me that people are creating groups, and then sometimes post there. Maybe I just need admin access of some kind and the interface would appear for purging. Some people are so confused that they ask Linux questions there, not spam but not appropriate. And of course they get few answers, and often wrong - from a quick look. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
