Dear Volunteers,
----------------------------------------We've reviewed and updated several key World Community Grid policies. These updates better reflect our program as well as changes in technology, including social media. We also simplified the language used in our policies and ensure continued compliance with IBM guidelines and best practices. You can read more about these policies and access each one in this news article . Please feel free to ask any questions in this thread. We appreciate all you do!

"World Community Grid members must be 18 years of age or older in order to join World Community Grid."
----------------------------------------Why? I mean, I joined in March of 2009 and I was 14 years old at that time... It's not like there is dangerous content at WCG. (And if there is, i.e on the forums, the admins seem to be very active on that issue).  - AMD Ryzen 5 1600AF 6C/12T 3.2 GHz - 85W - AMD Ryzen 5 2500U 4C/8T 2.0 GHz - 28W - AMD Ryzen 7 7730U 8C/16T 3.0 GHz [Edit 1 times, last edit by Falconet at Jul 18, 2016 4:09:05 PM] |

Does this change mean I can no longer contribute to WCG on the computer, phone, and tablet that I purchased and willingly attached to the project? |

May I suggest a TLDR for the Com Guide.
At 1500 words it will not be read by many/most. I read it all and it was extremely tedious. |

Just noticed there's a slight inconsistency in terminology. The page at https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/viewCommPolicy.do is headed Communication Guidelines, and the "overview of some key changes" in the News Article calls it that, but on the same page the News Article summary calls it Community Guidelines, as does the BOINC Manager Notice.

The policy name is "Communication Guidelines." We have corrected the summary. Thanks!

We changed the thread title, too, but not fast enough.

I only have an iPad 2 & an iPhone 6. Is there any way these can be used with World Community Grid?
