Some updates are requested to what is happening.

There is no spam in sight at connect, mostly Stefan Seyfried doing.

About the new platform I will not say, I know nothing about them.

I recommend considering CleanTalk ( https://cleantalk.org ) as a spam solution; we implemented for LinuxFest Northwest this year, after being inundated with hundreds of fake accounts originating in Russia (?!?) over the course of a single week.

It was easy to implement, has open source toolkits in most languages, and is very reasonably priced, without the annoyance (and other baggage) of things like Captchas (which don't work against humans ;-)

Thanks, James. Definitely something to look into once we are setting up the new system, depending on what the Team ultimately chooses. -- -Gerry Makaro openSUSE Member openSUSE Global Moderator openSUSE Contributor YaST Contributor aka Fraser_Bell on the Forums, OBS, IRC, and mail at openSUSE.org Fraser-Bell on Github -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
