Allen:
If the results being returned are corrupt or incomplete then they are of little use for the project. Fortunately there is duplicity in that the same work unit is processed by multiple participants to ensure accuracy.
In addition, a person who "transfers" to a new team does not bring their points with them. They remain with the team for the duration of the time spent on the team.
At the bottom of the comparison page, you can see the Member Since date. This is for the entire UD project, not just with a team. Japes signed up for UD on 10/4. If the trend is more normal now it maybe because he/she is completing work units and earning points. I haven't seen any posts from this person, but I image XPerT can give us some insight. In addition, Japes only lists 1 device install (granted it could be a proxy server, or he /she could be using only one computer to communicate with UD and multiple non-connected computers to do the processing, but that isn't indicative of the points level).
There are lots of neat ways to track statistics at the
UD website .
