It appears yet again somebody has attempted to take over our team!
This is the second time I am aware of it happening.
STOP any reference to Knights Stellar and make it ' The Knights Who Say Ni! '
We are aware of the problem, and hope the Admins resolve this quickly!
Emails have been sent to Eric and Matt already.

The one that has usurped OUR TEAM is user
http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_user.php?userid=187191
One 'John H. Bevan, PhD'

I DO NOT belong to his team, ' The Knights Stellar! '

I am, and have been and will remain one of The Knights Who Say Ni!

My Post here was to inform everybody ELSE about this! If it happened to OUR

Team, it can happen to YOURS! I think other teams need to see this crXp!

I have the utmost confidence it will be dealt with quickly, and harshly!

Your team "founder" is supposed to receive an email notification about the requested transfer. The founder then **must** respond to that email or the transfer is automatic after 2 months.

Try not to be too hard on the guy. He might just have made a mistake. When I first jointed my team, Seti.usa I misunderstood the intent of the line "Team foundership change" "Requested" I thought that the team founder had gotten tired of running the team and that he had requested someone else to take over. I clicked, thinking I was doing him a favor and volunteering to take over. I am not the only one who has made this mistake. I have chatted with the team founder and discovered that he did not want to let go and like you he was frustrated that, in his case, hundreds of people had clicked on the team transfer button. I know better know, but when I first joined the team I didn't know.

You may well have been the victim of some well intentioned person who thought he was doing you a favor.
