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. https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/results.php?hostid=10515619 https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/results.php?hostid=10516813 https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/results.php?hostid=10517917 https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/results.php?hostid=10520677 https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/results.php?hostid=10527549 https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/results.php?hostid=10527603 https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/results.php?hostid=10527721 |

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. |
