Actually.. could I get my posts in this thread deleted please? I don't want to lose my credits at predictor should Mr. B come in here and see my posts...

Yes, I'm scrrd!


It's not Braunie who will come visiting - he's too above actually seeing what goes on in other projects. Too self-centered.

It's that snoopy suck-up Jordless who will cause trouble, carrying his tales back to his master.

guys, please don't be wild here, whatever you've been done there...


There's nobody being "wild" here.

This censorship/libel thing needs to be discussed in every project forum, to get the word out about those people.

Obviously, it can't be discussed on *their* forum...

If you look at the top teams or top participants, it's clear that in terms of participation that Predictor is now a "private" project.

The top 4 users, by a factor of 10 in RAC, are Jordless, Braun and the two project scientists. They just crunch away and provide quorum for each other.

There is only one team (and amazingly, the only menmber is Jordless) with an RAC over a few hundred.

Looks like that project needs to be removed from BOINC.

From the Predictor home page:
05/14/07

Due to recent attacks on the Predictor@Home forums by a small group of malicious hackers we have enabled some restrictions in the forums. We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause our volunteers. As so often is the case a few bad apples can spoil the lot and their behavior has forced us to enforce policies we would prefer not to. The accounts used by the attackers have been deleted. Despite these issues, which we will weather, we continue to value your efforts and the resources you volunteer toward the scientific objectives of the Predictor@Home project.


Barf.

Jordless and DLB deserve each other.

people, please keep in mind that this forum is at docking@home, not predictor@home... I don't tend to discourage you from posting, anyway.

thanks,

What does this mean?

I mean, here is the place for docking, so blaming them isnt so good idea, you see.


Excuse me, but isn't this entire thread about censorship at Predictor?

And now you're telling me we can't discuss that?

No one can post about it at Predictor, so the message needs to go out to the BOINC community on other forums.

And IP¨banned again.

and "legend in his own mind" Ageless is about the only one posting, and is in fact taunting people in the Cafe about not being able to post.

There is something seriously wrong with the work fetch for this project.

I run with a 3 day queue, and I'm attached to 10 projects.

I had Docking suspended so it wouldn't fill up my queue. The queue was filled (probably overfilled) with work from 8 other projects. So- I felt it as safe to "resume" the Docking project, since there wasn't room in the queue for it to download a bundle.

The instant I clicked "resume" in BOINC Manager, it requested 259,200 seconds of work - 72 hours - 3 full days worth - IGNORING that there was already other work in the queue.

Now I have 3 days of work, with short deadlines putting BOINC into emergency EDF mode.

I'm going to reset the project and "suspend" again until this is fixed.

The status of that WU has now changed to "too many error results", and BOINC has decided the WU is bad, and awards no credit.

I'm not sure there's a problem yet for the WU in question.

The initial issue of 3 results for that WU all experienced download errors, and timed out on the 15th. The WU re-issued another 3 results.

It's been returned once good (I assume that is Nasicus?), returned once with error, and the third is pending. Hopefully the Windows PC assigned the third has now downloaded 5.02. The next good return should meet the quorum of 2.

I don't believe the download errors count toward max_errors, although they might count againt max_issues.
