You will get flamed for that ;)

But I really like to know why some people so vehemently resist the implementation of a level playingfield for the past. Why don't they want to see what they really did, and not just some fluffed numbers.

edit:
At least they could insist on fluffing everybodies numbers, thus tripling or quadrupling mine (stock under Linux;)

@moderators, please lock this thread, because it's only trolling to start a new flamewar!

First, I am hoping that this is not a correct viewpoint.

I believe that XS has in the past moved as a team from one project to another.

The possibility is they are now in the process of moving, and are working to cement their first place for longer. They have come up with a new credit method (no problem here) that will grant lower credit for those using the "optimized" clients (no problem here either, the credit was fluffed). However, they are insisting that the credit not be backdated because that would be changing the rules after the fact. This set taken as a whole could be interpreted badly. Otherwise, why the insistence on no backdating?

As I have noted elsewhere, there were actually two distinct sets of rules regarding credit in place on this project, the more restrictive only applied to those crunching other BOINC projects.

C`mon John there`s one already going on this. This will get silly again and people have had enough.

You cannot also brand whole teams, that isn`t fair unless you have evidence that every single cruncher on that team acts and feels the way you say.
