Did anything happen wrt phasing out connect.o.o?
When I did volunteer to tackle the spammers, I was actually thinking of a few weeks / months.
Today, there is still no sign of connect.o.o being shut down any time soon.
The most worrisome part is, that new accounts are either SPAM or SUSE employees. Lots of them.
I noticed the increase, but not that they are employees. I do not read the mail addresses (don't know where they are - ah, I see now). I may have killed some by error, and also not killed some because of doubts.
I'm 100% sure those old-timer SUSE employees did not suddenly after 20 years have the idea "oh, connect is such a cool platform, let's register (and then do nothing on it)", so certainly someone must have forced them to register to this system.
But why? Hell, I'm almost sure I accidentally banned / deleted some of these accounts when doing the daily spam-chore.
I think they are people applying for membership to opensuse. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)
