[coreboot - Other #314] (Closed (locked)) Please disable 'administrator approval' on ticket.coreboot.org
Issue #314 has been updated by Felix Singer.
Status changed from Response Needed to Closed (locked)
@akjuxr3, you are doing very strong accusations against the project and the administrators of this service without providing any proof. Since I am administrating this service, I am taking this very serious and I really don't like getting wrong accusations.
Not anything from what you are saying is true. The coreboot project tries to be inclusive as much as possible and people, me including, didn't know what to say or what to think while reading this. People are working hard and using their spare time, while having a day job, to give you the best possible experience. When we have to deal with things like this, then it's not just annoying or frustrating but it hurts, which might discourage people from spending their time on the project.
Patrick already explained the reason for that. We have to deal with spam accounts, rather some form of bots creating accounts, and this prevents them to flood this ticket system with spam. I'm trying to find ways to get rid of that, but there are not many options. So I do think this is a valid and reasonable solution so that the ticket system stays usable.
To be very clear: For the future, I am asking you to think twice before you do such accusations and to write your requests in a polite manner. I do not want to read wrong accusations again, especially when there is not a single proof given.
I'm going to close this ticket.
---------------------------------------- Other #314: Please disable 'administrator approval' on ticket.coreboot.org https://ticket.coreboot.org/issues/314#change-1415
* Author: akjuxr3 akjuxr3 * Status: Closed (locked) * Priority: Normal * Category: infrastructure * Start date: 2021-07-30 ---------------------------------------- Please disable this 'administrator approval' on ticket.coreboot.org. It feels like discrimination. Before i have written the first word on ticket.coreboot.org i have to be approved by someone by hand without this person knowing anything from me. I had to wait several days for this approval. Its completely unclear what is been tracked. Have the IP-address used for registration been tracked? Have the used email-address been tracked? E-mail-address-discrimination is illegal in many countries and this is completely breaking the freedom of choice! Username? Choosing (user)names is up to the user and making decision based on what names are 'allowed' to enter a platform is the most racist thing possible.
Conclusion: This 'administrator approval' is sort of discrimination i have not seen for years on free projects! There is no data available at the registration process that could or should be used to decide who is allowed to report a bug in the coreboot project. Please disable this discrimination that is stopping people for days or even forever to report a coreboot issue.
