The thread was getting very personal. . . threats and demeaning comments. If you think deleting it will make us forget what was said, you are wrong. Your action was too little too late. Specially since there are still other threads on the same subject that are open. |

The thread was getting very personal. . . threats and demeaning comments. So just hide those posts - don't hide the whole thread. Proudly Banned from Predictator@Home and now Cosmology@home as well. Added SETI to the list today. Temporary ban only - so need to work harder :) "You can't fix stupid" (Ron White) |

The thread was getting very personal. . . threats and demeaning comments. When every post made (the last 20 or so) needs to be modded, then the thread isn't useful anymore. If I could lock a thread and remove individual posts I would, but the only option is to delete. |

Ethan it needed moderation long before that, you twiddled your thumbs knowing what was going to happen because of the baiters. Why did you not give a warning ? Smells around here don`t it ! Not all Czech`s bounce but I`d like to try with Barbar ;-) Make no mistake This IS the TEDDIES TEAM. |

carl, you realise that the mods have lives as well? Is quite possible that Ethan was busy. |

Sorry for a moment I thought this was professional ! Jonathon some of the baiting happened as far back as yesterday, it was obvious it was going to happen. Not all Czech`s bounce but I`d like to try with Barbar ;-) Make no mistake This IS the TEDDIES TEAM. |

Sorry for a moment I thought this was professional ! Sorry Carl but unfortunately most of it is still volunteer - although an earlier modding would have been beneficial to the project and community. !!Stupidity should be PAINFUL!! |

An Ass in good old English is a Donkey and your point is ? Your vulgar Americanisation of the language is not my doing ;-) Early modding should have been done Keyboards I agree, I wouldn`t be in the wind up mood I am.

OK I've had enough of all this and to be honest am considering quiting DC altogether. I am 16 and work 12 hours a day (whenever I can weekends included) for minimum wage in a hot messy and awfull job just to fund my hobby here. I was meant to be saving money for a car, university fee's and whatever I have to come in the future but instead I spent my money on Boxen for DC. I used to have a powerfull pc but I sold my gfx card and powerfull cpu because I realised I could get more points for my money by buying a small fleet of semprons and why would I do this, because I thought it was a great way to help the world and mankind and it was a lot of fun and there were lots of friends and great people, a lot of the best people I've met, to be made/had/found in it. Now though it's not fun and I feel the science and the amount i'm helping is decreasing thanks to a very small few members with a lot more time and money than me that dont care for the project and are just complaining because they feel they have power so they are abusing it (and succeeding). The reason I feel like quiting DC not just Rosetta is the fact that these ZeroRACers are destroying every project just look at QMC for example the poor project's breathing it's last breaths and we all know about Seti... Please project runners need to open their eyes to them. I wish to make it clear your avergae Joe cruncher with a low rac and output because they run their rig 8 hours a day and just run it on their home pc I am not attacking, I do however hate those that are only here to be a nuisance and don't even bother to run th project. May I ask why? What are your arguments what's your point? I know you may have answered these before but I think it all needs to be settled once and for all. A simple You give your reasons we give ours and agree to disagree/ peacefully discuss it not a flame war thread is what we need. Get it finished with once and for all and the mods need a grip on the project. Many people deserve to be banned for what has been posted (including from my team), however I think the majority were provoked and all could of been avoided if this issue was dealt with when it and it's trolling posters reared its/their ugly head. Again I don't just mean the oposition to my view are in the wrong. It's a real shame in reality we should all be friends here maybe with oposing views but we can peacefully co-exist and agree to disagree. There are only a few that are here for a flamwar most people who post abusive posts are out of self defense and were baited into it, if those few instigators were kicked out it would all be happy again. From now on if i see anything bad starting I will instantly notify someone in charge and make sure I've made them aware, even if I have to ring them up about it myself So I will end with PLEASE WILL ALL SIDES COOL IT AND END THIS POINTLESS DC DESTRUCTION AND GET ALONG LIKE THE FIRENDS WE WERE/SHOULD BE! Thankyou. There are projects outside of BOINC... |

melymel, please clean up your post a bit. You don't need the language at the beginning. . both the words and the comments towards other folks. I apologise, I have edited a couple of comments and the swearies. I hope you realise though I've been bottling up a lot of anger over what I have read lately and only today really said something on my behalf about it as I can only stand so much. My post is there in a last attempt to try and talk people into not leaving the project however if it becomes ignored again like many other's posts have i'm afarid that's it it's byebye. I think rosetta is great, possibly the best project out there, I even regularly defend it and sing it's praises to others although now I feel I was wrong. So please read the words of those that are standing on the edge and stop them jumping by the simple acts that you can do, i'm trying to avoid making it sound dramatic here but please this could very likely be the end point of the project...

It certainly will survive, since 96% of all active users have NEVER posted here, and likely will never even see or know of this. |
