The individual going by the username "Violet_1182409_Ch" has been requesting foundership of GRIDCOIN teams across all Boinc projects. Once he is a founder, he boots all team members and changes the team name to "Department of Economics, NTU, Taiwan". Not sure why; the only thing I can see he gains is a high total team credit. Hes has alredy stolen GPUgrid, MooWraper, PrimeGrid, and now Asteroids and requested foundership from a few others.

Any help in stopping this and repairing the damage?

this is what happens when the team founder is MIA or not monitoring the team pages. the request for foundership takes 60 days and all the team founder has to do is log in and deny the change.

the best bet is to cut your losses and start a new team with a founder that will be more active.
