Are chronic errors monitored?

Greetings,
I was just curious if anything in the loop keeps an eye out for hosts consistently returning invalid results. In examining the status of WUs I've completed, I noticed that this user seems to be having problems; perhaps there's a language barrier involved or something else, but since they don't appear to be communicating here on the message board, I wonder if they're even aware of the issue?
At some point, resource-wise, I'd not imagine it terribly feasible to keep sending them data. Thoughts?

I had never had client errors but i think the server informs boinc client about the errors in the results recieved so user should be informed. OR am i wrong ?

It's a good point.
I recently added some code to the scheduler that's designed to 'punish' machines that always fail to complete their workunits successfully. See the FAQ page for an explanation of the logic. The bottom line is that in the future such machines can only trash around 1 WU/day/CPU.

David Anderson and I have checked this into the main branch of BOINC, so I think the answer is that it will be the default configuration. Of course projects that want a different policy can modify the scheduler to do as they like.

You usually get this when you

You usually get this when you try to start BOINC while there is already another instance running. In rare cases this also happens when there is a problem with access rights (Boinc installed as a different user than who tries to run it now).
