There's a VOLUNTEER TESTER tag under my name. That's cool... but where did it come from? News to me! -----

Checking out the Beta site, it appears everyone who participated in the Beta has the "Volunteer Tester" under their name. Jeremy

Testing, testing. All I need now is a green star and a head profile to complete the trifectica and my ego will be fully satisfied.  ID: 229367 · |

I feel kind of bad because I registered with the beta but haven't crunched any work units :\\ I'll crunch one so I deserve the title! -----

Here is the link in Beta that shows Eric took a suggestion and ran with it, getting everyone who is somehow, someway doing or has done beta WU's, and gave them all the "Volunteer Tester" Hopefully that clears it up. :-) Jeremy

It would seem logical that any betatester would be a volunteer tester. Betatesters don't even get cobblestones, do they? ID: 229407 · |

It would seem logical that any betatester would be a volunteer tester.Depends on a project - CPDN doesn't give any special attribute to alphaa/beta testers; other than pioneering new models [which crash from time to time :-)]. Betatesters don't even get cobblestones, do they?Damn credit. Yes and no. Yes, SETI Beta will eventually give some credit - after WUs gets validated which can easily takes weeks or months, considering deadline so far and error rate prior to funcional 5.02 application. No, CPDN wasn't giving credit for CPDN/Sulphur alpha/beta-testing. But SpinUp models are credit-promissed (now visible only on beta site) and will be eventually granted/added to main stats. This will also resolve curriosity of recent jump in credit overall...for those who looks at these numbers, anyway. ID: 229423 · |

Another group of good and bad people? Hey Ray.. don´t be sad. You must have other talents than `not` being a beta tester. ;-) ID: 229463 · |
