http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/7im/ We, the Folding@Home contributor community, are united in our desire to have the Folding Forum moderator, 7im, relieved of his duties at the Folding Forum. Time and time again, 7im's antics towards Folding@Home contributors have been insulting, condescending, and completely contrary to the respect and appreciation which should be shown towards a voluntary community. Everyone from the casual user who has just begun to contribute to the leading point producer in the world have been attacked. We know that his attitude and actions at the Folding Forum are detrimental to the project and have cost the project many users over the years he has been a moderator. 7im's antics are not limited to the Folding Forum where he holds the authority of a moderator. 7im also has a history of taking his bullying methods on the road to other teams forums. In these other forums, he will continue to talk down to users while implying authority there as well. He will also make demands and give orders at these other forums. And no matter how many times he is asked to comply with forum rules, stop implying authority, and stop the attacks, he will not be deterred. If You are a contributor to the Folding@Home project, and share our view on 7im, I encourage you to sign this petition. Whether or not anything comes of this, we will still have our desires heard. These actions are very detrimental to the project and will continue to cost the project contribution.

I have switched to WCG and GPUGRID. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/7im/#sig4051510 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST Fanboi, dumbass and incompetence personified... 7im is as worthless a human being and I have ever seen. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/7im/#sig3992013 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/7im/#sig3961810 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I do not agree with his self-important \ http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/7im/#sig3961790 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/7im/#sig3961198 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/7im/#sig3959017 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition 100% http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/7im/#sig3957022 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST True story http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/7im/#sig3953774 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/7im/#sig3953367 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I agree with the petition 100% http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/7im/#sig3951536 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST There is no doubt 7im puts in enormous effort. That said, his assumed authority and arrogance no doubt discourage new and long time folders alike. His visits to other forums where he frequently flouts those forum\'s rules and convey authority he does not posses are also detrimental, and make a mockery of his demands for people to obey forum rules on the FCF. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/7im/#sig3951341 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST he is a jerk http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/7im/#sig3950527 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST If you really care about the F@H project, imagine how the perception and participation of folding would improve if people felt respected for their efforts and appreciated for their contribution; which is voluntary and the backbone of the project. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/7im/#sig3950468 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/7im/#sig3950407 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/7im/#sig3950391 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST Yes pelase demod this useless person. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/7im/#sig3950305 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST He needs to go. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/7im/#sig3950037 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I hate to be negative because I believe he\'s really trying to help. His methods however tend to alienate rather than encourage. Perhaps he should not be in a position of authority until he learns better people skills.OTOH, he did post a link in the MaximumPC forum that pointed to this petition. That shows he should at least be open to suggestions. Maybe the results will cause him to reflect on his actions. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/7im/#sig3950011 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/7im/#sig3949925 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST 7im\'s antics are part of the reason why I run Seti on the BOINC platform now. He\'s a poor representative for Stanford to have.
