This will allow an easy method of contacting all moderators at one time.
- Users:
- If you spot what you believe to be a duplicate post, please post a link to it here. In addition, include a link to what is being duplicated.
- If you find a post you think belongs in a different forum, let us know.
- Avoid multiple reports of spam:
- If a user's posts are all spam, report the user, not the posts.
- Review this thread after submitting a report. Please delete your report if someone beat you to the punch.
- Any other post that you think requires moderation (violations of Guidelines, broken BBcode, etc.).
- Moderators:
- Please delete posts after you've addressed them.
Thanks in advance.

User: jackfrostenson
Reason: Looks kinda bot-ish to me
Looks like a spam magnet to me. I expect to see spam posts for properties in Turkey from new users any time now.
I've posted a warning. The banhammer is close by. -- Neddyseagoon.
Maybe I'm too wait and see in my old age.

User: soparla
Topic: How to manage multiple gentoo installations
Post: post 8808277
Reason: Technically there's nothing wrong with this one, but it hits uncanny valley for me. It is also a necro-bump by a long term (though not very active) member... Kinda feels like a stolen account, though I don't have any way to verify it.
Dunno, I guess just watch for now.
Under watching, thanks for the report -- fedeliallalinea |

User: ManfredB
Reason: Wie kann man diesen User auf Ignore stellen?
Moderator note:
Translated german text with DeepL: "How can I put this user on ignore?"
Moderator response:
Hello arfe,
the easiest method is not to read any threads or posts from this user.
Another option is to violate our forum rules (*) again - especially 8 or 9 or 10 - and then get banned.
If you violate number 16 of our forum rules again, you will also be banned again.
Ignoring mails from our admins and mods are also helpful to get banned.

User: honeymak
Topic: my gentoo build logs
Post: post 8823809
Reason: It looks like soliciting donations.
Asked for clarification in the topic. -- Zucca
It looks like the link is 404 now. -- logrusx
It looks like it was temporary. The form appears again. -- logrusx
Moved from Other Things Gentoo to Gentoo Chat and locked. Added a comment to the last post by Zucca. If any mods are still communicating with the thread author, feel free to unlock if appropriate. --pjp, 2024-06-07

https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-572071.html I think this is the thread about vipernicus leaving us. I found it in a thread where John R. Graham asked what had happened to him.
It seems there was also a thread about John R. Graham's homebuilt.
Simple community stuff.
More recently, richk449 had a thread about the 3d printer he was making.
There is more that disappeared with otw, but remembering productive contributors only seems right.
Thanks. Working on searching those... -- Zucca
I dug few 3D-Printer topics, but I didn't found any where richk449 was building one. Also, I dug the Vipernicus farewell topic out from there too. -- Zucca |

User: setan
Topic: Cmatrix - autotools build fails
Post: post 8831008
Reason:
please help
[Administrator response: We do not generally delete question threads. You received an answer that may well help anyone else who tries this, so I think there is value in retaining the thread. If you no longer want to work on it, you could edit the opening post to note that there is an explanation and that no further work is planned. -Hu]
My response: I understand. However I would kindly as for an exception as the thread did not go far and I want to delete it due to privacy considerations.

Thank you for your constructive approach!
Unfortunately this does not seem to be the case. Maybe the user has sincerely good intentions but, as they say, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
Best Regards,

User: risingfire1
Topic: why Gentoo sucks, and why it will ultimately die
Post: post 8835641
Reason: Could be either just a bored new user or a placeholder.
Actually, do you guys receive notifications when users edit their own posts?
Beside necro posting, but on topic, I do not see anything wrong here, yet. --Banana
[We have access to the forum's notification tools, but administrator privileges do not automatically sign us up for notifications on user changes. Thus, it's good for someone to actively set a watch on suspect content. Sometimes we do this on our own, but it never hurts to have observant users call out suspicious activity we might have missed. -Hu]

User: zpiro
Topic: A few Musl problems
Post: post 8839753
Reason: I think the thread has taken an unfortunate turn and might be best locked to avoid spiralling.
[Administrator response: I fear you are right, but I posted one last attempt to get it back on track. If that does not help, a lock seems likely. -Hu]
I went ahead and locked it. It isn't getting better, and I'll leave it at that. --pjp |

I would add the link at the bottom of the last post should be edited out too. Somebody's picture is getting circulated on the Internet without their consent.
[Administrator response: Done. I see no value to the link, so it is now lost to history. -Hu] |
