The moderators and admins of openSUSE forums request the membership refresh themselves as to the forums Terms and Conditions, as there have been some violations recently. The T&C are here: openSUSE Forums - Forums FAQ: openSUSE Forums FAQ


Some specific areas to note:

openSUSE Forums Terms

..... Members may not create or use secondary accounts for deceptive purposes including but not limited to: circumventing the T&C, rejoining the community after being banned or blocked, circumventing staff actions or directions, or posting as different persons


Cross-Posting

The openSUSE Forums staff do not allow "cross posting", where a user posts the same or a similar thread in more than one forum. The thread that was posted in the least-relevant forum will be removed. The openSUSE staff may combine the threads if both threads have responses.


Contacting Staff

... However, staff members will not provide private openSUSE Linux help; all Linux help requests must be posted in the appropriate forum.
