Description
It would be really nice to have an option to have no-points setting. This would allow a user to disable all to the points statistics and say 'I am using BOINC with a modified application to help the project with finishing WUs faster and not to cheat for points'
And/Or? the other way round: 'This is a no-points project. You won't get any points, but since we have a great goal, you maybe want to help us.'
The reason is that the points feature can make lots problems: No difference between cheating and helping users Projects keep their apps closed source to prevent cheatind It's a subystem, which also causes load and may have bugs/lead to bugs ...
