You can join the opensuse.us forum if you wish as we are separate from the joint SUSE forum. Our reason was to keep the forum smaller and more personal which large forums seem to lose. Just go to http://www.opensuse.us and click on forum and enroll.

I also noticed that a moderator had started an attack on one user along with, as he called them, “his friends”. They jumped on a guy asking for help. Insulted him, belittled him, then when he struck back they complained as if he had done it out of the blue. He was banned and the others went scott free. I made a neutral comment that it seemed both sides had misbehaved. That is probably what got me banned, but the explanation was that I was a spammer. I only posted 6 posts. I was not aware there was a limit.

So don’t celebrate too hard about the 30,000 users. Look at what kind of tyranny is happening behind the scenes. All of my posts and my thread were deleted.

Except that they are selectively banning users without explanation. I signed up yesterday, posted about 6 times in different threads, even started a thread on Windows and SuSE, Windows not on the main partition of a sata2 drive. When I checked my email shortly after I signed off the forum I found an email saying I had been banned forever as a spammer. I was deeply hurt by that email and they have not replied to my request for an explanation.

Hi,
Franckly i doubt that the number of users equals the number of people really involved.
