Report violations, duplicates, misplaced posts, etc.

[pilla]

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.

Thanks. I'm going to leave it for now, hoping they add a URL. They copied this thread and oddly took the time to improve the formatting. --pjp

Topic: Still having trouble with the new minecraft launcher
Post: post 8642247
Reason: New user. Quoted a post and inserted color-disguised link spam in the quoted block. I mangled the link spam for now, and responded in thread. This user bears watching.

Good Call -- NeddySeagoon

User: Comrade_Stalin
Topic: UEFI won't Detect GRUB on NVME SSD
Post: post 8658780
Reason: User name

[Moderator note: this is discussed at some length in Filtering by username. Also, given that you disagree with the username, it would make more sense to use Report this user from the user's profile page, than to report a specific post by that user. As of this note, there has been no resolution reached. I will leave this report here until that discussion thread reaches a conclusion, one way or the other. -Hu]

[ndbg2]

User: ndb2020
Reason:
I haven't locked in for a while an I couldn't remenber password and username. That's why I registered with this name "ndb2020" again. Now I have found my old user "ndbg2" and reactivated the account.

I would like to keep "ndbg2".
email: Removed by Neddyseagoon
You could delete user "ndb2020".
email: Removed by Neddyseagoon@gmail.com

I hope this is the correct way. Couldn't find a possibility to delete my account somewhere.

An email to forum-mods@gentoo.org is preferred. Thats public and we get lots of spam anyway, so posting it here again won't make any difference.
We cannot delete used accounts bu if you write to the above address we may be able to merge them. -- NeddySeagoon

-- edit --

Your unused account is disabled. The unused account reaper will remove it in the fullness of time.

There seems to be a conflict between pulseaudio and pipewire. For now I made the quick solution of not starting pipewire by moving /etc/xdg/autostart/pipewire.desktop. Log out, log in, eventually 'killall pipewire' and that's it.
