Description (last modified by Nicolas)

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
