Carlos - you have a RAC of 157 (it says so beside your post).

I have a RAC of 874.09:

You've contributed about 874.09 credits per day to SETI@home recently

That's what it says on my welcome page every time I log in. But you're right - Eric has the power to see what's gone wrong and - in all likelihood - put it right.

Yes, I should have said that there are many who have 0 RAC. See Admiral for an example. I remember when they first closed the project down they had to make that change to allow the boards to continue functioning.
But you can still join. See Rambo who joined yesterday with zero credit, zero rac, and no computers.

AMIGA_3000_Rules Is the account name. At least it used a little deodorant. Victor did mention that he would be having trouble and might disappear in a past post.

As far as I'm aware to post in the main fora one needs either a non-zero RAC or non-zero credit.
It is possible to create a new account, but as one can't earn credit posting in the main fora is not possible, but one can use the PM system (as Vic has proven).

Wait we all have zero RAC [...]

No, yours is 157, mine 54. [Richard already pointed at this]

I also see that Victor's account has been deleted here and also on Facebook. Something is not passing the smell test.

Vic eventually accidentally deleted his [old] account with credit; now he tries with a new one, unable to post... just PM's. Not good...

thanks for update

Well my RAC is a big 0. Been that way for a way long time. Happy that my account was made “0 RAC” postable.

You get a "posting pass" because you have a non-zero credit.

So thats how it works. I guess I must have one.

IIRC due to the EU data regulations, BOINC made delete absolutely permanent.

If Vic wants the old account, it is gone. All he can do it PM Eric and likely send him a e-mail from the e-mail he used to create the other account he now needs to post from. After all social engineering is a real thing.

Seems a deleted account also means: all previous posts have been deleted too... Damn! EU data regulations?

GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)

A right to be forgotten was replaced by a more limited right of erasure in the version of the GDPR that was adopted by the European Parliament in March 2014.[19][20] Article 17 provides that the data subject has the right to request erasure of personal data related to them

To be legally compliant, if someone from the EU chooses to delete an online account- then all data relating to them (along with the account itself) must be erased, or the entity holding that data can be held legally liable for the non-compliance.

...and given the number of users that allegedly pretended to be in one place, but were actually somewhere else it was probably easier to treat everyone the same, so "delete" was "delete my total existence for ever and all time".

Here it's just the "Café" blah blah blah... But there are so many useful forums in the web; which accumulate lots of useful information over time, you hardly find elsewhere. This shouldn't be the norm. Give more weight to collect and archive information (the principle behind classic libraries) over rigid 'delete all' rules; e.g. hibernate and pseudonymize accounts (e.g. a serial number as user name) instead of torching it.

Anyway... I can't change that. But I don't like it. I fear it's one of the many 'cultural' differences between the U.S. and EU.

Yes the EU forbade any retention no matter how obtuse on the real possibility a third party could connect the name with the number.

Way older than the dinosaurs.

Earth's oldest-known crater discovered in outback WA is 3.47 billion years old, study finds.

What could be the world's oldest-known impact crater has been discovered in the remote north-west of Australia.

The crater, located near the Pilbara town of Marble Bar, is thought to have been created 3.47 billion years ago.

The site, detailed in the journal Nature Communications, has been dubbed North Pole Crater by geologists from Curtin University.

Such an impact eclipses a previous claim for oldest crater, Yarrabubba in WA's Mid-West, discovered by the same team, by more than 1 billion years......

Cheers.

Web site and forums have been rather sluggish today.
