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.

----------------------------------------
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.
