openSUSE admin

I tried rejoining from within discord by searching for the server in discover but that didn't work. Also tried joining via the .gg link. Neither worked for me.

Subject changed from Discord to Rejoining openSUSE's Discord server
Private changed from Yes to No

Hi there,

Discord preventing users that left a given server doesn't sound open and warm like they advertise.
Unless someone got banned. And a quick search around the Internet gave me this article from Jan 2023:

https://jamesmcallisteronline.com/rejoin-discord-server/

So, the first method in this article is through an invite link. openSUSE's invite link is:

https://discord.gg/opensuse

Could you try it, please? If it doesn't work, we can try the other methods pointed by the article.

I joined the official discord server recently. I then left the server. I've tried to rejoin and can't. Username Elemental#7457

Can someone look into this? I've read that discord prevents users rejoining servers they've left. Not sure why that is but can an invite be sent to me in discord?

OK. Something seems off. I'm going to ask an openSUSE Discord moderator to look into this, because unless you got banned, you should be able to rejoin the server as far as I can tell.

By the way, out of curiosity: Do you get any error while trying to rejoin the openSUSE server?

Kind regards,
Luciano

Thanks for your help. I never received any notice or notification of being banned and I never engaged in chat. I did leave the server on my own. The reason I left the  is because I never used it and I didn’t think I would in the future. So I’m not sure how I was banned if I never engaged in chat. Can anyone expand on this?

Alright, I got the confirmation that you got banned, actually.

The openSUSE community, like many others, aims to provide a welcoming and warming environment for everybody,
without discrimination. For that it sets a minimum of expectations upon just about everyone that's part of it --or anyone
hoping to be--, regarding how they behave themselves whenever interacting with it. And unfortunately, the way you
conduct(ed) yourself doesn't align with such expectations and goes against our values.

If there's any doubt about what you did to get banned, you can see openSUSE's Code of Conduct[1] for yourself.

Luciano

You're welcome. I can expand, yes.

You can mostly blame Discord for the lack of any notice or notification when someone gets banned -- and hopefully that'll change in the future. It seems there are cases it notifies people and others it doesn't. There were two things that led to the ban, even though you didn't interact with other people:

1. Your user profile, that per se goes against openSUSE's Code of Conduct; and
2. Report(s) of very questionable/troublesome behavior in other server(s).

Interesting, thank you for looking into this. I'm still not sure what's going on here because I do recall leaving the server intentionally because I never used it. Maybe I was banned after I left?

My discord profile is empty. I deny behaving in any way contrary to the opensuse rules. That would mean this ban is fraudulent or user error. This points to a concerted effort to bypass discords privacy and safety policies involving cross-server correlation of accounts.

More importantly, how would any possible behavior outside of the opensuse server be corroborated and verified by opensuse discord server admins and moderators? Based on what you've shared it seems as if the ban was based on rumor. Can the details be verified?

Thanks for your help!

Those are good questions, which unfortunately I'm not able to answer since I'm not an openSUSE Discord moderator and rarely use Discord myself. Let's wait for someone else to chime in, who's able to address them.

Any new information?

Send an email to board@opensuse.org or create a ticket at https://code.opensuse.org/board/tickets/new_issue to voice the concern. You can mention that the decision was made by me (LCP is enough to identify me)

If this is not an issue intended for this system then why was any action taken or sanctioned originally? Action was taken on the submission of a screenshot and a vague claim with no evidence. I contend that the contents of said screenshot do not violate the code of conduct.

Your bio states "Woke gender ideology is cancer" and "If you use pronouns in your bio I'm going to assume you're the opposite of what you state".

This violates:

The openSUSE community is dedicated to providing a positive experience for everyone, regardless of such attributes (including, but not limited to):
...

• gender identity

Your bio shows clear, premeditated intent to discriminate against persons who have nominated to identify with a gender of their choice.

As a fellow Discord admin, I would have banned you as well. Feel free to include me in your board complaint as I will happy support hellcp and their decision.
