Inactive CPUs/Members and Team ECF Titles

[AndriaD]

Just because the title is removed doesn't remove them from the Team list. The majority of that 669 no longer belong to the Team ECF usergroup. Bear in mind, the list and what we do here with the title are two totally separate things. We have absolutely no control over the actual team list displayed by Folding@Home.

Oh I know... but if they aren't actually participating, then their score won't go any higher, while those of us actually folding, keep getting more points. I like it.

I know that being inactive doesn't remove one from the team list. But if they're inactive don't give them back the title. I don't think that's too hard to understand.

I still want to be a Count. 1 mod, 2 mod, 3 mod, 4 mod.

Titles are back in place.

However, if you're also a supporting member and are using a custom title, that will take precedence over the Team ECF title. We'll look into possibly doing a custom field that will show underneath the "Location" field in the postbit. But for now, this was the "quick" fix.

I think, for me, I'd like to get a box in my signature area. Currently, I am maxed vertically, but I can go side to side. Is there anything like a Folding Home box to promote it?

Edit:, I will go snoop the website. I didn't see anything. I was reading about Team Statistics. It is all above me.

While you can promote within your signature, bear in mind that it needs to conform to our signature rules.

Forum Rules | E-Cigarette Forum

27. Signature (sigs)
a. No animated graphics are allowed in signatures and there are no exceptions.
b. No affiliate links are allowed in signatures.
c. No commercial links are allowed. This means links to business websites or any website with a primarily commercial objective unless the site is related to electronic cigarettes and is permissible according to other rules. Signatures with links to Unregistered Suppliers and/or sites of dubious quality/content/reputation are subject to removal. If excessive promotion is suspected, an infraction may also be given.
d. Signature images (graphics, gfx) must be 400 x 65px or less in dimension (this means the width cannot be greater than 400px and the height cannot be greater than 65px), and no more than 25kB in filesize. We advise a .gif or .jpg file.
e. Members who are permitted a linked sig graphic cannot also have text links unless there is a usergroup exception for their group.
f. Members may have a 'Stopped Smoking' graphic of standard size in addition to another graphic. Sigbanners of this type may not have adverts either in them or linked to.
g. No links (including in signatures) are allowed to websites we proscribe, or to websites either for, or that feature prominently:
pharmaceuticals, porn, gambling, violence, loans, credit, political parties, religious views, information considered illegal in most countries.
h. A signature is a privilege, not a right, and can be withdrawn any time for any reason and without notice.

Thanks retired1, just a thought about Team promotion.

Been noticing that we have a LOT of inactive CPUs. Seems we have quite a few who did one or two work units and then stopped for whatever reason.

As an incentive to keep the Team ECF title, I'm going to start checking to see who's active and who isn't. For now, if there have been no contributions to the team statistics for a year or more, I'm going to remove the team title from the profile. I may adjust this to 6 months later on down the road, but for now, I'm looking at 12 or more months of inactivity.
