I liked the old system. Can't we just stick with a stable working system for a while before doing the bells and whistles thing?

Personally I long for the really old System (SETI Classic) when you knew if you did 1 Wu you got 1 Credit, it was simple but it worked. There was no confusion on how much Credit you would get & nobody needed some long drawn out explanation on how the Credit system works, which after read said long drawn out explanation most people still don't have a clue how the Credit System works.

Very early in my life my father gave me a little advice about things in general.

If you want to watch tv and what is on bothers you, you have a couple of choices.

1. turn off the tv.
2. change the channel
3. stop watching tv and find a different diversion.

I would imagine that some how this could apply to all those who think that the credit system is too large here. You know the type, the ones who have a rac of 100 and have only been doing this for two months.

Again I will make this old but true statement. Leave the credit system here alone and just let the admins here run the project without being bugged by halo heads or other project admins crying. Tuffy huh?

DD,

Except for all the scripts and programs that hunted out and deleted the VLAR WUs :-)

Seti-Classic had more way to cheat than you can shake a stick at. The dev had to run a script to disable a whole bunch of obvious cheats account when the user data base was transfered to Boinc. Entire teams were dedicated to cheating the Credit systems. Those were the good old day alright.

Hey Ice maybe I should let some folks here go to our disagreements area and that way they can say anything that they like without getting modded...Smile.

I'm sorry by I can't disagree with you on that one DD, I'd be more than pleased not to mod anyone in our disagreement area, even my old pals from the the good old days ;) As for SETI classic, I was never there, didn't even know it existed and joined BOINC through the British Broadcasting Corporation advertising on BBC Climate. It never occured to anyone to try and cheat there, since the British never do nor would anyone think about it on a British project :p, and quite frankly to me it seems to defeat the whole point of why we're here - to support scientific and other research.

Yep, our disagreement area where you don't get modded is ..... like you said ... Smile.

Some of us are definitly burning rubber off our tires as we accelerate our credit contributions. But I can assure you the aim is to contribute to science.

Who burns what rubber on which tire, and how much and who wins, and who comes a close second and who spills off at the final bend - is just good stomping fun.

Make fun not war ;) And I hate to say it, but it's not the last who posts that wins.

I guess one way to reduce the credits here is to stop the work generation :)
