Hi, I will try to be as less spammy as possible, so I will not insert the project name or links.
My team is designing a visual programming language, we are currently searching for people, both technical and nontechnical, that would like to see our design propositions, and give us opinions and critics.
The project is open source so we can’t promise any monetary reward.
For applications and questions I will reply in this forum and on email: zauddelig - at - gmail - dot - com.
All these things you say as quoted above give you a Very Spammy or at least Bacon feel to your project. You may consider hiring a new spokesman as soon as possible.

Me too. One of the things I often miss is a somehow humble approach.
To the OP: I see no problem posting the project name etc., specially since it’s open source. From my developper’s piece of mind ( if you pardon the pun ) I’d love to see more about it.
That is what I was saying, by not just giving up the information in an honest “here it is” type approach he has made it seem less trustworthy and more spammy.
Wait what, you like the mystery approach? Ok, but even the OP likened it to spammyp
The OP IMHO is holding back a bit, just to see if this is the proper place. By no means a “mystery approach”. Maybe a cultural background difference, but “mystery approach” implies a planned, chosen path. Which IMHO is not the case. Compared to the “Here’s our product, don’t dare not to like it”, to me this is refreshing.
Of course anika is right and this is spam. Look at the evidence:
First (and last)-time poster.
No reference to openSUSE context in post.
There’s an identical post on the linuxquestions forum.
And look at this line from the original post:

… and no reply. But the moderators appear to disagree with anika so I’ll shut up now.

But masking out the real email so that it can not be that easily machine
harvested doesn’t mean that he is a spammer.
Not replying to the posts on the thread he initiated, after promising he
would, now that’s different.

That’s no proof of spam. Nor is fundraising to get basic costs covered. It clearly states “open source” and “free”. If I want to share something on both Facebook and G+, why post different messages? But there are actually only two hits: linuxquestions.org and forums.opensuse.org
really?
-what is that big hot pink “CONTRIBUTE NOW” button for?
-and that “101€ of 15,000€ Goal”?
-or the “Fixed Funding campaign”
anywayo, which highly interested persons here will write to the
promoter and fetch answers to any of their questions:
-tell us more about it.
-What is it your developing?
-Why should it interest us?
-How would it be a bennefit?
-When you say a “visual” language, are you talking
about a rapid development environment?
-I’d love to see more about it.
or, just ask the guy to come back here (as he said he would) and tell
more.
My team has just started work on a project developing a new type of spam detection system named spam-sucker. In order to cut down on spam to the project site we will not be giving out any links or direct email addresses.
The project is Open Source and Open Funded so we are asking for all interested persons to get involved in any capacity including technical and non-technical. At the moment we are especially in need of funding for the start up process.
For more information please email to my personal email: spam-sucker at spamsucker dot com or I will answer questions here via pm.

If you take a look at the tone of quite some posts in this thread, would you? I’ve met this in the dutch Ubuntu forums, took the time to write a fierce reply, but can imagine people wouldn’t bother anymore.
In general: even though this is Chit-chat, there’s no reason to get cynical.
