We need Dutch Guy on the case.

I believe they've had one 'spat' like this in the past, and most people came back after a few days.

Could also be b0rked stats - it's happened before.

I have checked the S@NL Forums and I couldn't really find good info, but I found a thread where they speculated about cheaters which some of you might remember was possible with resending units and exponentially increasing your WU count.

this is a post from the thread.

That's good then - no problems within the team and they're just kicking out the idiots who have nothing better to do than try to cheat the system for a quick thrill.

Best watch they don't come in our direction.

This is all regarding Seti Classic, not Boinc AFAIK so the threat is minimal

Yes, it is, but we still don't want them here - Classic or BOINC.

True, we will know it when the total is suddenly a lot higher and we can investigate the joiners if they look suspect.
