We have now configured the boards so that you need to have at least 100 RAC and Total Credit in order to post. This should have little effect on the legitimate users.

We started getting an abundance of spam on the message boards this week. We have now configured the boards so that you need to have at least 100 RAC and Total Credit in order to post. This should have little effect on the legitimate users. It was brought to my attention that a RAC of 100 was too high for some users, so I am reducing it to 10. Total credit is still 100, the equivalent of several WUs. ID: 753 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

A friend attached to this project but all of his tasks crash. I can't figure out what's wrong, all his other projects run OK. He wants to post a request for help but he has 0 RAC and 0 credits. What can he do? BOINC FAQ Service Official BOINC wiki Installing BOINC on Linux ID: 754 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

What can he do? He should be able to send me a private message (others with 0 RAC have been able to do that). I just need his username or hostid and then I can look into it.
