Request for 'confirmed' user role

I can see that you have made some previous posts in the issue Q.
Can you reply to this thread with a comment confirming that you are in fact a real user?

He is creating some posts - i.e. support requests not posted in the support forums as one is supposed to, but in various project queues - including the core issue queues. Please take a look at:

https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/3079843
https://www.drupal.org/project/ampproject/issues/3072677
https://www.drupal.org/project/1121188/issues/3076018

Our criteria for becoming "confirmed" says:

If your content shows some knowledge about Drupal and how to contribute on Drupal.org (or the willingness to learn about it), your request will be granted and you will get the role.

Is this the case here?

He also seem very fond of bumping stuff to "Critical" priority without reason, and insists on polluting the issue tag space with his own tags whenever he starts an issue, and for good measure, he puts random posts as parent and related posts when he requests to be "Confirmed". (I've just replaced a random parent with the correct one in this particular issue.)

@gisle - Assuming positive motivation, I think the issues you bring up are a result of his being a novice.

As a new @someshver, you may want to read: https://www.drupal.org/node/1839650 about Issue Queue Etiquette. There is also a Slack space that can be utilized to ask questions. https://www.drupal.org/slack

volkswagenchick, I understand that he is a novice.

However, if you want my opinion, I think positive motivation is not enough to give someone the "Confirmed" role.

People need to learn how things should be done here before we remove the training wheels that is implicit in not having the "confirmed" role. During that period, if I sign up for a new user, I watch the person and try to gently mentor he or she so they learn do to things right. If you find mentoring too burdensome, I can take over mentorship of someshver if you unassign yourself from him.

In closing, I will add that if you go ahead and confirm him, assuming positive motivation, that too is perfectly OK with me. I just wanted to add my two cents worth.

@gisle I appreciate your comments, and you are not wrong. We led them to documentation and I am very happy to followup as the user moves through the learning curves, I had not confirmed the role for that very reason.

What should i do to be a "Confirmed" user?

In the past, your contributions has violated a number of the norms here, e.g.:

1. Not using the support forums to ask for support, but instead asking broad support questions in project issue queues.
2. Putting words in the "Issue Tag" field without following these guidelines: https://www.drupal.org/node/1023102
3. Bumping priority to "Critical" or "Major" without reason and without having the required role: see https://www.drupal.org/node/45111
4. Putting your own name in the "Assigned" field without attaching a patch.
5. Putting links that are not relevant in the fields "Parent issue" or "Related issues".

So the first step to take towards becoming a confirmed user is to stop doing these things.

However, I am willing to forget the past, and give you a fresh start.

Starting today (September 11), your postings for the next two weeks (until September 25) will be monitored.

• If your content shows some knowledge about Drupal and how to contribute on Drupal.org (or the willingness to learn about it), your request will be granted and you will get the role.
• If your new content is too generic, the issue will be closed and the role denied.
• If you have no new content, the request will be denied and the issue closed.

@gisle Just poking this a bit.
I do not see any new posts from this user, but I do not have the ability to see comments that may have been flagged as SPAM.

Thanks.

@volkswagenchick There aren't unpublished posts created from the OP.
To say it all, there aren't posts created after the last comment gisle posted on this issue. If we are going to check the OP's behavior in the past month, there isn't anything to review, so far.

Another month had passed and I do not see any new posts from the user. Should this issue be closed?

I confirm: There aren't posts created after September 7, 2019. I agree on closing this issue due to lack of posts to review (given what I said in comment #14).

I do see that the original poster has submitted a patch and it was committed. Was any spam reported @gisle?

None of the posts have been unpublished.

I have assumed positive motivation and have confirmed this role.

The original poster has moved forward and contributed to the project as requested.

Thanks and welcome!
