OK, I'm sorry, my mistake. It seems like I didn't make it clear enough for everybody. Maybe some are even too fussy, I don't know. Anyway, let me explain: 1. Active SG-Board-Members were upset about the Credit situation at MW. 2. Various People agreed to boycott the project. The people, not the Team, got it? 3. The same people agreed to spread out a recommendation to all other team members, not to crunch MW until the Credits match BOINC-Standards again. So for the TEAM it is a RECOMMENDATION to the volunteers (as we can and will not force them!). But for the SINGLE PERSON, who stopped crunching MW, in fact it is a boycott. That's why you may still see Credits coming to the SG-Account. Ah, btw. I do see a decrease of credits/day. http://de.boincstats.com/charts/chart_de_milkyway_object_new_teams_9.gif |

This "boycott" is a recommendation. You can read this in the first posting in this thread (or even in the few words you quoted), if you don't believe me. Our Team Members are free to follow this recommendation and a lot of them did. But I'm wasting my time, you will never get my point, you just see the tons of credit granted to your account. Of course, you are free to do so but I am free to complain about it. |

Post: Whoa! To say that the credit level is "more than average" is the understatement of the year, I guess. To explain this: My Machines made 450K Cr. in more than one year, but they made almost 50k Cr. in less than 2 Weeks! The point is, that it may be fair for the crunchers that are using the modified app. but it is really unfair for all other projects on the BOINC platform. If you decide to join BOINC to get your science work done (of course, that's what BOINC is for), you should respect the other projects there and the rules of the platform. But if you are giving 10 times more credits than every other project does, the credit-addicted crunchers stop any other project to get the most credit possible for their CPU-time (what is understandable, seen from their position). In the End, your science work gets done, but the other projects don't get anything. Is this fair? Just my 2 cents. |
