Now I have left that real-life club and joined another. I would like to join the new club\'s BOINC Team. How do I do this? Do I \'unjoin\' from the old one THEN join the new one? or join the new one and THEN unjoin from the old one? And what happens to my 29%? does it disappear into the ether or join itself to the new team? ID: 24080 · Reply Quote

A duplicate amount of points that went to the team while you were connected to that team stays. The new team will get points from the time you join them. It was done this way because in the old days people \"shopped teams\", and caused teams with lots of points to fall, and new teams take their place. Team leaders then would \"buy users\". in different ways. So to keep things cleaner, they went to this type of format. ID: 24085 · Reply Quote

But how do you explain the fact that a few days ago a new member of my team brought us a gift of over 3k Cobblestones he had in his old team? I think that CPDN/BBC-CCE/SAP does not follow this rule... ID: 24111 · Reply Quote

I would suggest looking at more than one status site/page. Look at the local CPDN pages. I have not tested this over here, but I thought it was across the board. ID: 24114 · Reply Quote

But the messages about it are way back in 2004, and probably buried deep by now. (And it may have been discussed on the php board, and not here.) ID: 24115 · Reply Quote

More team oriented projects (such as SETI) did this to prevent team members from blackmailing the team. I'm a volunteer and my views are my own. News and Announcements and FAQ ID: 24120 · Reply Quote
