rilian...who said WCG staff or project is pius? Its the commentary from the volunteers. They have the most outspoken voice here. Huge difference. And you over generalize on the world being "safe". Nobody said that either. Just lives being saved due to the use of encryption. Again, HUGE difference. Still waiting for the cure though. And I do hope that one day we will find it. Until then, crunch what you like as you said and be happy.

Those individuals did join WCG and we have checked their results and all of their results are either pending validation, inconclusive or invalid. They have no valid results. Our validators have kept the data safe. Given this issue and the discussion in this thread: https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread_thread,34960 we have tightened up how we handle the max_jobs_per_day and credit for invalid results. See my post here: https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewpostinthread?post=419186 for details. These will make it more difficult and less rewarding for these type of contributors in the future. It's good to see that you guys are on top of this. Nice job!  I echo that brinktastee: Such pointless resource wasting: I am very happy the WCG team appears to be safeguarding the integrity of the results. JCM  crunching, crunching, crunching.
