Could you post a link for one person that received 2000 credits for one unit processed?

Normally you should see credits in the range to 20 to 30.
A small number like this usually indicate a very noisy WU that the application did not spend much time on. The credits reflex the amount of time the WU was worked on.

I heard that the more money you slip to the guys "in the big office" the more credit you receive... ;-)

How is credit figured for each unit processed. I have some where I only was credited 0.50 credit for one unit and some I was credited 50.65? I also noticed that some users are receiving 2000 credits for each unit processed.
