When someone joins a team all credit this person has accumulated is added to the team. If the person in the process leaves another team, all his credit will be subtracted from the team. Of course this is "bad" for the team that the person is leaving, but it can also be "bad" for the team the person joins, in more than one way. Naturally any team would welcome more credit, but then again, it feels a bit like stealing - AND more importantly, it can throw whatever stats they run out of whack for a while.

I run a team myself, and naturally I'd like more to join - but I don't want to steal credit from other teams - and whenever someone who has been crunching for a while joins my team, all their credit is added to my team, which throws my MFlop stats out of whack for a while - annoying actually.

So, I have a request: To implement the same policy projects like seti@home has, which is credit earned while being member of team A stays with team A when the member changes to team B - and credit earned while not being a member of a team is not added to team A when the member joins team A.

I've a feeling we've been here before, and it got changed though I can't remember the circumstances.

May be a case of 'you can't please all the people .....'. :)

It used to work that way, but fixing the extra credit on completion problem caused the new behaviour.

Ok, now I understand a bit more ;) Thanks :)

Would be nice though if they could find some other fix for the extra-credit-problem - but I guess for now it's a matter of choosing between bad and worse :)
