Due to the large amount of spammers creating profiles with stupid ads, I had to enable server's built-in spam protection - right now it requires the user to have certain minimum of credits to create profile, I've set it to 100. M4 Project homepage M4 Project wiki |

Manually deleting all these profiles takes too much time - each profile and account has to be reviewed, to avoid false positives and they usually come in bulks. Also, large amount of spam significantly reduced the server's performance, because of the relatively low upstream and limited number of connections that the http server can handle simultaneously. Spam profiles were often linked on large websites and during last 2-3 weeks the project website went down at least few times due to the http server overload. I hope that the automated protection will help to keep profiles clean. If you don't have 100 credits and you want to create profile, please PM me (unless you're a spammer, then unfortunately I won't help you ;-). M4 Project homepage M4 Project wiki |

Okay, that might not be working as plannned. Is it 100 or 1000? Because I have more than 100 credits (971) and my profile is not showing unless I sign in (http://www.enigmaathome.net/view_profile.php?userid=9304) maybe a typo on the code? Have fun debuggin or updating the site. Regards vicsar www.vicsar.co.nr |

The credit limit applies only to creating profile: unless there is a bug somewhere in the server code. M4 Project homepage M4 Project wiki |

Ohhhh, I guess the keyword is "average"...I'm not even sure what that means =) |

Doesn´t it need to be 100 credit in total and not average credit? By looking in my BOINC manager I can see that I never reach an average of 100 crefits in any project. |

The documentation says 'credits' without mentioning average or 'RAC'. I'll check that again today, if the server code requires minimum RAC I'll change setting to 1. M4 Project homepage M4 Project wiki |
