Censorship has been working again 4 days ago at Predictor (user account deleted, credits deleted, team 'Banned for Life' deleted, posts deleted, IP banned again). A new shame but probably not the last at Predictor' board. I too have had my acct/credit/posts deleted and IP banned for 30 years. :-) I expect to have my account/credit/posts deleted and IP banned for 30 years as well soon.

But this time all its members were deleted too. I stopped over to BoincStats earlier today and wondered what happened to 20,000+ credits to my total. Well, those were taken away by Braun too. Amazing! Just for belonging to a team he doesn't like. ID: 568158 ·

The conflict there between dbl(admin) and a large group of users is escalating. http://www.boincstats.com/forum/forum_thread.php?id=1898&sort=6 As you can see in this thread, dbl resorted not only to user/ip/teams banning, but also libel and deleting rightfully earned credits. The whole "hacker attack" on Predictor is a hoax, made by dbl to justify his despotic actions. ID: 592513 ·

The issue is that Predictor crunchers should know what`s going on. Their board cannot be used for this discussion, because anyone starting it is getting ip-banned, his accout deleted, and his crunched credits stolen by Predictor`s admin, DLB. Thus it is vital not to let this affair be swept under the carpet (like deleting the evidential threads, libeling the opposing users as hackers). ID: 594017 ·

To all interested in the current censoring issues at Predictor, an online petition has been created for userÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s who do not agree with the censorship. The letter is available to read before signing and will be presented to staff at the Scripps Institute to express the feelings of the Boinc community who feel the censorship is wrong and should be addressed. We need as much support as possible, thank you. Link to online petition. I went to MIT and got a degree in KICKING YOUR ASS! Boomshakalaka! ID: 594053 ·
