I've mentioned this before, I think the biggest issue here is people looking for particles (notice the button called No TRACK). And when people are below surface, when they see a dot in focus they assume it is a particle. They ignore the fundamental issue of how it GOT there, if there was no layers...

I would assume that for the most part the movies are being sent to you randomly. There have been a few times that I have recognised a movie taht I'd seen before. Given the sample size, it won't happen too often. But given the number of people doing this and the number of movies some have seen (I'm ...

Two lines of thought to that. Keeping in mind... Validity: is it doing the right thing. Reliability: is it doing it well. Keeping in mind that reliability is a necessary but not sufficient criteria for validity. You can be measuring something consistently, but consistently wrong. Reminds me of my h...

And I have one, as mentioned in another thread, that I selected just to see how many flags it would have. It comes into focus in the bottom layer or two, and yet 8/21 have flagged it (38.1%) compared to your 37.3%. Just mentioning it as an indication of how unreliable we might be as a collective. A...

I should think that trusting the judgement of the people that are running the show is in order. If they think there should only be 1 in 40000 movies with tracks, then you shouldn't be flagging one in five. If they feel the tutorials will at least get us reasonably prepared then so be it. We are wai...

Actually it isn't completely counter productive. It's trying to get people to clean up the boards a bit so people would know more about what's going on. Many things keep getting repeated in all sorts of different places because 1) people aren't taking the time to look around and 2) even if you try ...

A start would be the feedback for people and maybe that is best achieved by suspending operations for us for a while. On time. Off time. Sort of thing. Time where they aren't getting peppered by our enthusiasm, and a chance to address the many issues cropping up. I'm REALLY hoping that the movies w...

Ironically, I think people not knowing well enough what they are doing (because there are so many of them...us? ;-) will have a far greater impact than the supposed cheaters. Nice to hear that multiple logins works, but as someone who had four windows open first couple days, I have not been able to...

http://stardustathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/myevents_viewer.php?movie_id=19603 Another. Same thing. The problem is not enough people knowing what they are doing. Or rather, far too many that don't. Too many don't understand that a ring getting smaller, coming to a point, then getting bigger, is precisely...
