I’d also like to put a note out there to people running scripts to cancel WUs from certain searches, asking you to stop. These can lead to some bad server problems where some WUs accumulate on the server because they’re not being processed fast enough.

If it continues I’ll start banning or zeroing out offending users credit. --Travis 11 Mar 2010 2:53:25 UTC

some units provide a much better return on credit, so there are scripts that drop the low returning units. The mention to old seti was that this one done by many a seti-queue …
