World Community Grid science labs code of conduct.

Hello people and techs of the World Community Grid,

Is there such a thing as a public version of the World Community Grid Science labs code of conduct? Is there even a World Community Grid Science labs code of conduct?

After the Clean Energy Projects decision to dump error prone WU's onto the grid I have been wondering what safeguards are in-place to stop any other lab or element from within a lab from going, for want of a better word, rogue.

This " All Germanium-containing workunits failing " https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread_thread,38881 should not have occurred.
Those Ge WU's should have been beta tested to death before being let out onto the World Community Grid.

It was obvious something was very very wrong with those WU's yet they were dumped onto the grid and nothing was said by the Clean Energy Project lab or the World Community Grid techs and nothing was done to pull those Ge WU's off the World Community Grid. The only thing that we the crunchers got from the World Community Grid and Clean Energy Project techs was......... silence shhh .

If those Ge WU were fed to a proper Top500 supercomputer I have a feeling the lab would been band from ever using that Top500 supercomputer, forever.

I did not vote for the World Community Grid in the Webby Awards for the reasons stated in the "All Germanium-containing workunits failing " thread, and the silence emanating from the Clean Energy Project lab and World Community Grid techs in the days/weeks after the dumping of the Ge WU's onto the grid.

Re: World Community Grid science labs code of conduct.

This is research... Even errors are useful. If the scientists aren't complaining, let 'em run. WCG shouldn't be dictating "science labs code of conduct". WCG should receive the work from researchers, load it into the feeder, and return the results. Intervene only after consultation with the research lab. If these errors were causing a concern for the researchers, they probably would have stopped them by now. Your points and your run time goals mean absolutely nothing to them. I highly doubt they would have been banned from a top500 supercomputer. They pay for a time slot, what they do with it is their business regardless of whether they get errors or not.

Can you explain to me what the point of beta testing is then?

why would anyone run BETAs, if they don't want to?!

why would anyone not care for all those "wasted information transfer, servers being busy with bandwidth, computers with calculating bad results & wasted time on WUs"?! juste 'cause it's a FREE COMPUTING CLOUD!
guy is right...if it would happen on a payable cloud, someone in the office should answer for spending so much computer time on wasted results...

why not also answer to WCG & their servers (techs, admins, leadership)?
