Was asked by my friend and Captain Carl.h to post this message here. Haven't anything to add ATM about his post.
After many, many attempts at getting some communication from WCG clarifying my membership none whatsoever has been forthcoming. Many emails were sent, along with attempts through the help contact. No mail or communication was attempted by WCG. Their staff have failed time and again to follow their own rules. I am neither banned nor able to use the forum. As Captain of the Teddies this is an intolerable situation. If WCG wish to ban me at least let me know as in the Software Agreement and I would remove their software from my machines. It appears they wish to keep my machines, time, money and effort but not give me a voice. On the subject of what happened on the forum I quote David Autumns a respected member of the Community. Quote: I must admit I'm miffed with so much to say this end and nowhere to say it. I saw no reason why it should be shut down for the weekend unfortunately in the past we have had worse and saw our way through it. I'm sure we given the opportunity we could have worked through this one too. But that said along with the deafening silence I say here's to the next 100 Million Results and the next 100,000 years Without communication with the WCG staff to clarify my membership, I feel I am being taken for a fool and have no wish to continue working/paying for any type of project these people are involved with. I feel they have treated me with the utmost disrespect. To my friends I say thankyou for the company these last 6 years, to those that I`ve argued with my opinion remains just that and no personal malice was intended. I realise there are people that would have found me loud and arrogant, it`s how I am both online and in life but if you were in trouble and needed help I`d be the first to your side. That is who I am, I am not a pretender, skin deep or profess something just to have someones backing. What you see is what you get. Thankyou for everything over the years especially those I have come to respect and love. I will still be around but Boinc has been removed, those that say nothing are often more hurtful than the most truthful pain. Good luck in all your endeavours and may all of you be as lucky as me to have found more than one true friend as you travel this life alone. _________________ |

To the people who run this site,I trust you are now happy that you have lost a valueable contributor to cancer research by the end of the week you might have lost more all because your so full of yourselves and stuck in your own little worlds you don't have the decentcy to let someone know what is going on , come on sort yourselves out because at the moment the leadership here is nothing short of a joke

It was only some of the forums - the rest remained open. I'm sorry you (and everyone) was affected by this. I don't want to go into details, but I have asked the staff if they will give some more information, so that everyone understands why this was done - and we can all get back to the serious business of crunching.

It`s a sorry state of affairs that I was given no information but the thought of losing other crunchers brings you running.
I don`t like you Didactylos, that is true but I respect some of your more technical post`s and you alway`s try to help, howether your skills with people are lacking. Still it`s all done now and I alway`s felt you felt similar about me, so no love is lost. Anyway all the best mate and try to be a little more diplomatic at times. Yeah I know wasting my breath again. |

Debs - the graphic in your post appears to breach the new rules: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/help/viewTopic.do?shortName=forum#17 - perhaps it would be better to remove it before the Gestapo arrive
Regarding Carl.h I feel it has been very poor that WCG have failed to reply or enter into any dialogue that may have resulted in a better outcome than this. The fact that WCG failed to follow their own rules that were in place at the time these incidents occurred, makes it very difficult for the members to respect the new rules and feel obliged to comply. I would welcome a full and frank explanation by WCG as to their reasons for these actions as was required under the old rules so that we the members can have a better understanding - likewise I feel that Carl.h also deserves an explanation after all the hard work and dedication he has given in support of this project. |

Half of mine are already detached and will get the others in a few. Debs was a disappointed to see what you posted but not much surprises me the last few days. Yes I would have expected that from some of the others but not from you. [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Jul 10, 2007 9:23:43 PM] |
