• We should now be fully online following an overnight outage. Apologies for any inconvenience, we do not expect there to be any further issues.

Looks like Berkeley needs to screen the Seti User of the Day more carefully!

And if you wonder why I have som many results, it is simply because the faulty SETI-server revards me for sending the same results over and over again.

I can't tell if the guy is a total idiot, or if he is trying to make a point ????

(maybe he wants SETI cleaned up as bad as the rest of us and is trying the indirect approach)

User Profile: Pelle Svanslös what is recommend?
what is vote to reject?

Country: Sweden Email: pelle.svansl0s@linux.nu
Number of Results: 35063 CPU Time Per Result: 6 hr 23 min 11.5 sec
Last Result Time: Sat Nov 30 11:28:43 2002
Date Registered: Wed May 30 12:54:50 2001



BACKGROUND
I Never been a user, and I will never be. I am very annoyed that the SETI-people calls me a user when I actually am providing them with hardware and time to run their dumb program.


SETI THOUGHTS
When signals are sent, the sender most likely looks for intelligent life. The information transmitted is therefor surely not intended to be understood or even recogniced by a stupid program like SETI@HOME. The whole project is compleatly useless, since it will only find civilizations at the same low level of knowleage as that of the Berkeley University.

And if you wonder why I have som many results, it is simply because the faulty SETI-server revards me for sending the same results over and over again.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The User of the Day thing is mostly automatically random generated except on special cases which most on here are aware of. It would be unfortunate to have to do away with the nice feature because of a few bad apples. There is simply no human resources available too "screen" for the feature everyday.

Just found this on the S@H site:

"NOTE: If you find a profile offensive, click "vote to reject" on the profile's page. This vote flags the profile for review by the SETI@home staff. Similarly, if you find a profile to be of particularly high quality or interest, click "recommend" on the profile's page. If you have comments about our user profile feature in general, please email userprofiles@ssl.berkeley.edu. "

So go to the link Crazee provided and Reject that sucker!

Thanks JWM, I just voted to REJECT that profile, maybe if enough of us vote & reject, the powers that be will reject the "user". :|
