Is there a time delay for new participants to create a team, beyond getting finished work unit credit?

G'day. Just joined up the other day, now I've my Pi 3 running (I use OSes on other computers that don't run U@H). I'm pleased to be able to finally contribute to a cool project like this. However, I was unable to create the team I always create for every project. I figured I just needed to gain some credit to show I'm not a spammer, but I managed that earlier today, and I can still only join teams, not create. So I wondered, is there also a time delay before new participants can create a team? What are the specific criteria, please?

What message you see when you try to create team? (There is some traps against spammers in server after recent massive spammers attack) Krzysztof 'krzyszp' Piszczek Member of Radioactive@Home team My Patreon profile Universe@Home on YT |

What message you see when you try to create team? All I see in Opera, Firefox, even Safari mobile, is nothing loading for the team creation part of the page: "Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science." - Charles Robert Darwin |

I will check this tomorrow, as I can't do this Tonight.. Or, you can just send me team name in PW, and I will create it for you myself...

No worries, it's nothing important, after all :-) I just like to spread my usual BOINC group around, even if it's very niche and has a mere handful of members. Though it has been around in SETI@home since pre-BOINC days! So I'm proud of that. I'll PM you the details, but again - no rush, no worries. I've joined the Raspberry Pi group in the meantime *grins* Boy is it's leader dedicated to crunching work units! I wonder if he only used Pi's...

See this thread on how to do it... Yes I try it but its open a blank page. Try at IE, Edge, Firefox all blank. Seti@home Classic account User ID 955 member since 8 Sep 1999 classic CPU time 539,770 hours |

Ah, okay, I'm already on a team and didn't want to leave to make a new one so didn't take that last step. Guess something has gone wrong since the anti-spam measure has been put in, that bit works but as you say you get a blank page after you successfully pass the robot test. Viewing the source code for the blank page shows it is the 'create a team' page though. |

Indeed. While it's always been a wee bit arcane to be forced to search for a group before being able to create one, in this case creating a new group or editing a current group are broken, with only the blank page displaying.

I don't like to beat on projects (and those who administer them) like this that depend on time and effort freely donated, for worthwhile causes. But I really do not think it helps gain volunteers, if such a basic mechanic as team creation and administration remains broken for months at a time :-( "Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science." - Charles Robert Darwin |

I think it is fixed, test team created by me: Hurrah! Administering my team works now :-) Thanks very much krzyszp! Your work is much appreciated.
