The hosts in the list below are examples for hosts that show lots of errors, sometimes hundreds for particular (vbox) subprojects, without a single valid result.
Their users seem to be not interested in a correct configuration and it is nearly impossible to contact them as they are hidden behind pool accounts.

I wonder if hosts like that can be banned or at least excluded from subprojects where they deliver nothing but errors.

I think, BOINC-Server will lower down and down the daily quota to at least 1 WU / day for hosts like these


Supporting BOINC, a great concept !

Yeah the server usually will give those 24 hour holds on giving out more tasks to computers that run a page of errors in a row.

They hope that the *User* will take a look and fix the problem.
